    Adrien Roidner is on PED's its irrefutable. He is on the A-side meth. Roidner refused to take the test with Paulie and both Roidner and GBP threatened to cancel the fight, now isn't that mighty suspicious?

    He's a good boxer but has zero charisma or personality.

    Stuggling against C-level fighters doesn't make you a bum. It makes you a C-level fighter.

    He needs to fight someone bigger than him to back up all that talk and swagger.

    I think he's in love with his own power, and will make sure to bulk up to increase it so he can rock the best at 140/147. Pretty sure he'll remain at 147 for a long time, as others have said GBP guys are crowding 140 and several matchups are probably brewing already... he's not too small for 147 if he bulks up a bit and keeps his speed, something an athletic young prospect like him seems to be willing -and able- to do.

    I think Paulie is in for a pretty rough, frustrating night. Hopefully Broner runs his mouth about Khan or Guerrero to hype up his next fight at 147, although I would love to see him get a shot at Devon and the IBF belt - who's less likely to respond to trash talk.

    Well he was outboxed by Ponce De Leon (the same Ponce who was KO'd by Lopez in 1 round) so it says it all really.

    His major problem, in my humble opinion, is his chin, even though it's too early to tell; but i have that feeling his chin is average at best, and possibly even weak.

    He's no bum, but he's not invincible either.

    Nah the guy can fight, but people talkin about him as an "elite fighter" already are being swallowed up in the hype, he clearly lost to Quintero and PDL and does get hit a bit too much by lesser guys than what he's gonna be facing in the future, so that's a worrying sign. That said though he has incredibly fast hands and very good power and I thought he looked fantastic in the DeMarco fight.

    I expect him to beat Paulie in about 9 rounds on Saturday, Paulie is good but not as fast or sharp as he used to be, he was lucky to get the nod against Cano imo and is hardly a natural Welterweight anyway.

    Broner did get tore a new one by Rigo in the ams though didn't he? but that said Rigo is an exceptional talent.
