Listening to Paulie during this fight there was only one guy in the fight, Ward.With Paulie squeaking away it's always difficult as he hardly sees much more than one fighter in the ring especially it seems when the guys an american.
K. won the fight by two or three rounds and how Paulie could make such a case against this is disturbing.

I don't take a guy that only gave Kovalev 1 round in the first six rounds.

I don't think it will be close, either Kovalev will have to win by ko, or Ward wins a wide decision to shut some of the whiners up. Like it or not, Kovalev is not the boxer Ward is, which is not to say Kovalev isn't good, he just gets frustrated too easy, only has 1 game plan, and cannot adjust the way Ward can mid fight. Ward could always turn southpaw and further confuse kovalev, though the straight right hand then would be much more of a threat.

If Ward wins a wide decision as he said he would this time then good luck to him he sure didn't here.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

paulie is extermely bias, he only side with fighters like him. So if its a boxer vs a boxer puncher he will give it to the boxer cause its like him. When paulie talks and says "see you haveto know what your seeing x is winning cause he doing this, he is actually subliminally talking about himself".

U see Paula in that interview, he said u gotta b a fighter to understand what he sees......clown!
