    Not really, close fight but the scorecards were too wide.

    Yes, won comfortably enough IMO, given the context of the fight it's was a robbery.

    I didn't score it mate though I'd say you could give it 7-5 either way. Nothing wider.

    Nope. It was open to interpretation, but the 118-110 is a joke./

    Without a ****ing doubt, man. Paulie outboxed him easily for at least 6 rounds, and I agree with everything he said after the fight. He's noble in defeat, because he knows Cotto was a completely different animal, took nothing away from Hatton and blamed himself, then even said Diaz was a warrior but the scoring was absolutely ridiculous and it won't be overuled nor will their be a rematch. Total bull****, and the **** Max Kellerman was saying afterwards was sickening. "I thought it was close, it was a close fight, you've both showed yourself to be warriors" just totally backing the **** away from a completely correct Malignaggi.

    Nah, I felt like Diaz did more work of substance, he was the only one landing really damaging blows throughout the fight.

    I scored it 7-5 for him.

    This.:deal

    A lot of the rounds depended on whether you went for Diaz's aggression or Paulies flurries. I just think that fighting on the back foot (a style I really like) Paulie just didn't do enough to put the rounds in the bag without question, which is what you have to do most of the time to win a fight with that style.
