The other dude had 3 tko in 29 fights, t-rex arms and a negative record on MMA. Paulie couldn't have found someone easier to beat from the MMA world. Even if it's not boxing, bare knuckle boxing is still much closer to boxing than to MMA. No knees, kicks, elbows, takedowns, trips, jiujitsu, etc...
And I know he is retired and past his prime but the other dude is literally a bum even by MMA standards. A negative record. He was never good and never will be. What if he had faced a good MMA fighter instead? Paulie was at some point one of the best in his division. Where did all the technique go? Is that giant gap in technique between boxers and MMA strikers nullified by just clinching and not using gloves? Or is that "gap" not as giant as we thought?
- -Paulie a paper champ couldn't dent a marshmallow.
And long past being a paper champ. His big mouth tried to cash a check his flaccid ass couldn't support.
