    And that could very easily be three straight losses if not for Texas officiating. Gale Van Hoye stuck again that night.

    Margarito from the time his wraps were discovered.

    KTFO by Mosley in 9, UD W Roberto Garcia, UD whitewash loss to Pac, TKO9 by Cotto.

    Agreed those were mostly top fighters, but a swift and severe close to a formerly top career.

    that word, i do not think you mean what you think it means



    in the u.k. we had heard of him. adrian stone and richard williams. who where (to us at least) contender level fighters.


    also the bunema fight was a relatively big fight. most here where picking bunema after bunema had a decent run and ignoring the close and badly officiated kamya fight he had a good streak since taylor. sparking out karmazin and matthysse and goign against a guy who wasnt well known outside of argentina or europe.

    sergio didnt waste his years just misused them whether it was his fault or not.

    Yup. It's been since they happened so I could be wrong but I believe I scored the first wider than the second for Paulie.

    Yeah, horrible end to a career...

    The Saul Roman KO was very nice. Bunema, Williams X2, and Stone are the other notable fights on his ledger before Cintron. I don't know, I just don't think coming from where he came from that he had any possible options to make a better career than he did.

    Good shouts.

    That JMM sure knows how to ruin careers.
