    Glad to see you'll be at the fight. I'll be there too. I hope you're right about the upset. Can't wait.

    One thing I truly believe and that is that Paulie is bringing his A game. He is coming to win and that's a fact but he is making the mistake that all older fighters make when facing a younger one and that is, underestimating their resolve. Broner will match his intensity in all aspects of the fight and break him in the later rounds. Say what you want about Broner but he loves to fight and he fights to win.

    Yeah. I'll be in the cheap seats. Both my wallet and I are hoping for the upset.

    I think Pauly's criticism of Broner is spot on. I don't think he is underestimating Broner at all.

    Broner looked a **** load bigger and looked like he could add a ton of weight between weigh in. I will give it to him by TKO

    Flathead will easily defeat a game but inferior opponent.

    It almost sounds plausible, but somehow I don't think it's going to happen that way. Broner will after a couple rounds start catching Paulie with those sharp counter left hooks. And then the straight rights hands. And then a flurry of punches and the ref stops it.

    You might want to rewatch the Cotto and Diaz fights again. Yes, Paulie lost to Junito but he clearly outboxed him in 5 of those rounds and he couldn't even see clearly the entire fight.

    Paulie, doesn't have the foot and head movement to get away from Broners power.

    I will say this: if Paulie is quick on his feet, he can make this look like W. Klitschko vs. David Haye considering both Broner and Haye have similar, wide stances that can be used against them by fighters who know how to get out of the way when they throw and get back in with the jab before they can reset. For me, that has to be Paulie's route to Victory. That said, the size difference isn't nearly the same in this fight and it goes without saying that Paulie doesn't carry Klitschko's ko-threat even if he does hit harder at WW:

    How can anyone take this fight serious after Paulie just lost to a c fighter in cano ?
    Broner needs to pick on someone his own size like Matthysse

    Few things you missed out on.

    Most notable names on PM resume are Cotto, Hatton, Khan. All of them dominated him.

    PM has been around for quite some time, he is 32 and fought Cotto in 2006. AB is a 23 year old rising star adn 10 fights ago he was fighting a guy with a 40-19 record, so comparing records of their last 10 opponents doesnt make sense.

    There is a clear gap in talent between the two and it will be clear on fight night. PM will be dominated just like he was when he fought Hatton, Cotto and Khan.
