Amazed at how many people on this thread don't know how to score a "PRO fight"! Your observations would have some validity if it were an Amatuer Fight! This is pro boxing when effective agressiveness counts far more over light punching! Paulie backed up ALL night and it wasn't his style it was Broners power telling him not to face it head on! Both worked pretty good defenses and both fought well when you consider their styles!
Broner won easily 8to4 it really wasn't close after 5 rounds!
Learn what to look for when judging a Pro Fight in comparison to an Amatuer!

Paulie's a stick-and-move fighter because it's difficult to keep an opponent honest when you lack power. He would've fought the way he did last night regardless of the opponent. Paulie said that he expected more power from Broner and he was never on the verge of being stopped.
Paulie seems to get penalized by many because he has no power, doesn't change the fact that he threw a ton and was landing. The fight was over before they hit the ring.Comment

well its not about lack of power as much as it is about lack of effective punching. u say paulie tagged broner but with what? jabs? or are u counting those ineffective body punches? fans like to pick and choose when the term "clean and effective" applies. when canelo was getting jabbed to death by trout it didnt. in this fight all of a sudden paulie throws a lot of punches that do nothing and they count. im not even talking about the power behind them. more like the placement, the effect etc.Comment

Paulie was getting through to the head/body when Broner shelled up, but as stated previously, Broner would brush them off and judges take that into consideration. I felt Broner and Canelo won competitive but clear decisions. Paulie and Trout won their share of rounds and some will argue that they in fact deserved the W. Clean/Effective punching vs. Activity/Volume. I think Broner's defensive posture and lower output made the fight seem more competitive than it was, or more competitive than it should've been.
Effective punching usually comes down to "who hurt who?" in the minds of the judges, and since we all know Paulie can't punch for shit, his objective was to out-work Broner. I don't mind that Broner won, but I'm disappointed that it went to a decision. I simply over-estimated Broner's ability to carry his power up. Malignaggi did a good job and provided a style that Broner has yet to see. He got the W but he showed some flaws that could be taken advantage of.Last edited by kiaba360; 06-23-2013, 03:40 PM.Comment

I was rooting for a good fight; not either fighter. Pauli was so active early I had it 3-1 in his favor going into the 5th. After that, Broner's harder shots and Malinaggi's wavering pace saw him lose quite a few close rounds. It WAS close and Broner showed neither power nor outclassed the older guy; but he squeaked by in most of the middle to late rounds.
I had it 115-113 Broner like most of the Showtime crew. If Pauli had been a bit younger and taken a few of the last few rounds it would've been a close win for HIM probably. His lack of power will always be his Achilles heel.
It is what it is.
Raises questions about Adrian but he got the 'W'.Comment

Coming from a Malignaggi fan, Broner won. He's a classless piece of trash but I scored the fight 117-111 in his favor.Comment

Pauli won some rounds but broner landed the harder shots and dictated the fight from the 5th round on.....
Round by round i had it-
1,2 pauli
3 broner
4 pauli
5,6,7,8,9 broner
10 pauli
11,12 broner...
116-112 broner
There was some close rounds, but pauli just couldnt hurt broner at all, no matter how many times he landed....
This fight wasnt a robbery, Pauli gave a great effort but when you cant hurt the other guy, it makes it damn near impossible to win a fightComment
