Paulie was a bad style matchup for Diaz He showed guts in there pressing the fight all the way thru i commend him even though i think he lost.
If Paulie had some pop he wouldn't be Paulie Maliganggi then.. atsch That's like saying if my mom had a dick, she'd be my dad. It's a stupid argument.
Bradley would be a bad fight for him, he'd get his ass kicked. He should look for a fight with Valero since Diaz is from Houston and Valero has fought there before, and it's the only place he can fight in the US.
If it was like 115-113 to Diaz on all the cards, and maybe with a 114-114 on one of them I would think its okay to a push, cause he was given the benefit of the doubt in a few rounds, but 115-113 Diaz is still a bit of a push, I mean I had Paulie winning but if it was like that then fair enough... but it just seemed like the judges didn't take it seriously or give Paulie any kind of chance to win.
Diaz did appear as if he's missing something. He kinda performed flat. Fight could have gone either way but if he wants to stay at 140 he's gonna have to fight better than that. Paulie is gatekeeper status and he struggled with him.
New York would probably be a prety neutral place for the fight as far as the judging goes. It's not a notoriously corrupt state like Texas is. Over there everyone from the juges to the refs are extremely shady characters :deal and tonight proved it.
I just dont see him as having enough ring sense.... he just does what he does and thats it.... thats what seperates the bottom of the pile from teh top.. if you watched the fight closely pauli would sometimes try to fight on the inside and then realize it was ****ing him up so he woudl continue to box from the outside and circle.... great fighters can make adjustments okay fighters cant in all of juans losses including tonight he hasnt shown the ability to make adjustments
