Why wasn't Broner deducted points for kicking Paulie in the balls?

[New England]

Paulie was not grabbing the leg like he was taking him down, he wasn't lifting it, he was just trying to hold on to something so he didn't go down from Broner pushing him down.

Thats right, innocent boy Broner PULLED PAULIE DOWN AND KICKED HIM IN HTE BALLS. Then hit him on the break....

neither fighter is innocent. broner committed plenty of fouls throughout the fight. that doesn't mean paulie didn't clinch behind his knees. watch the replay at the end of the second round. there are two fouls. i'm not excusing either. you are excusing malignaggi's.

[New England]

There was one point when Broner tried to do the "it's protect yourself at all times" Mayweather move. Broner fouled Malignaggi and on the break Broner tried to run over with a left-hook right hand, while Malignaggi was not ready.

what floyd mayweather did to victor ortiz was completely legal.

no gifs that i knwo if, but if you've got showtime they'll be showing replays. if not, the fight will pop up online before it gets taken down. eventually they'll just let it stay up.


it happened in the second round, and the best view is a replay at the end. it shows the leg being lifted intentionally, and the clinch behind both knees that preceded it.

i would have deducted a point from broner after his second behind the back slap, whatever you want to call it.

Without remembering it I think to much is being made of it. Vitali kicked Lennox.

Grabbing behind the leg is what happens when you get pushed down and cant grab behind the back. Its technically a foul, but it was an unintentional one that was the result of Broner pulling him down.

Broners foul was intentional. He didn't accidentally kick his leg into Paulies groin. He wasn't stumbling off balance trying to regain his footing, he just straight up decided to play dirty with it, and he got away with it.

He probably should have been DQed for the stunt, at the very least he should have been deducted 2 points for unsportsmanlike conduct.

you are not seeing things clearly if that's what you believe happened in this case. it is clear as day that maglinaggi is not using broner's body to keep from being pushed down. he gets behind both knees and drives forward with many steps. that's not an act designed to keep from being pushed to the ground.

maglinaggi has clinched around the waist and sometimes lower in many fights. when he's close he gets low. he always has. if it's really neccessary i can waste part of my sunday finding them, but i'd prefer it if you remember the khan and hatton fights.

If Malignaggi was wrapped around his kness he wouldn't have been able to kick him in the nuts.

Paulie did have the legs, but Broner didn't have to all that **** he did to keep his balance. Should have had something deducted for all the nonsense that went on.

Is attempting to hit your opponent while your back is turned illegal too? I've never seen that attempted before tonight either.

I remember Joe Calzaghe lost a point immediately for throwing a punch behind is back against Jeff Lacy.
