    Paul is a great boxer but watching him last night I was a bit disappointed he should be stopping opponents like that a few years ago that opponent would not gone past the second round ???

    Personally I think he went downhill when he left Arnie.

    He had a really lovely style before, good head and body movement. Lost all that when he went over to JG imo.

    Yeah Paul used to be so smooth in his movement not sure if it’s his age or he’s adopted Joes style either way he’s not the same fighter shame

    Was there maybe an injury that forced him to change his style?

    Don’t think so mate Paul’s been fighting that way for a while now doesn’t make sense to me because he’s not stopping his opponents the way he was a few years ago when he looked absolutely outstanding

    I guess age could explain some of it, if he's fighting to perhaps conserve energy? They often say that the smaller weight guys have the shorter careers because they can't make up for the slowing of age by gaining power? I should say I didn't see this latest fight, but I did have it in my head last time I saw him that he wasn't the fighter he once was.
