Makes me sick to see that he got away with that. He got a slap on the wrist for a foul which was life threatening!

Broner should have lost points

Originally posted by El Chicano View PostI agree, he did it twice, then it would have been a draw.
If they would have taken more that 1 point away for his fouls (which they could have) then Paulie would have won.

At the end of the day, regardless of the 117-111 score being well off, and Broner committing some fouls (in fairness, Paulie held a lot from time to time) the right guy got the decision, it was competitive and I take my hat off to Paulie, but Broner did enough to get the win and it wasn't a robbery in my eyes.
One thing that can be taken from the whole fight though is Broner isn't nearly as good as he thinks he is, and Paulie did MUCH better than expected (I was thinking about a week ago Paulie might be written off too clearly to be honest, he still exceeded expectations though) so he can hold his head high, I've always liked Paulie since the first Diaz fight, not afraid to speak his mind and seems to have a good objective opinion on most things.
One thing Paulie did do is show what makes Broner tick, he sort of laid down a blueprint to beat Broner whilst just coming up short himself. I think him and Ponce De Leon shown the way to beat Broner is to use plenty of side movement, you need to constantly move around the ring and then fight in bursts, basically move around the ring, get in range, flurry from body to head, get out and keep moving, and repeat. I see Broner struggling with a lot of the top guys at 140-147, unless he works on not being as stationary as he has been in his previous fights.
