When you have a hand injury like Paulie’s, it would be a miracle to score a KO on anyone from any combat sport with any combat rules.
This is a bit of an exaggeration but you can get the point: imagine trying to crack a rock with your bare fist? You’ll just end up breaking your wrist/hand badly. Paulie wasn’t punching rocks but that’s how injury prone his hands are, he punches you in the face and his hand is damaged for the rest of the fight, then he just has the jab.
I know exactly how that feels because I injured my right hand by punching my opponent on the top of the head, which is a no no, but it happens. My hand is perfectly fine, the injury feels non existent, right until I spar again and reinjure it, reminding me that I hurt it.
