Paulie Baby: Please Win This Saturday

by davidemore Wed 19 Jun 2013, 8:36 am

But will he?

by DaveVDK Wed 19 Jun 2013, 8:45 am

Broner via long and sustained beating, Paulie just doesn't have the power to keep him away.

by Maddy2k12 Wed 19 Jun 2013, 9:45 am

I think Paulie has found a little bit of power at 147, not world beating, but he has stopped almost as many opponents at this weight, than at his time at light welterweight. I expect Broner to be very over confident and to under-estimate Paulie's slickness and skill. Could be a very close fight.

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Wed 19 Jun 2013, 9:47 am

Cano isn't very good and had no trouble walking him down and was a little unlucky not to get the nod, Broner is a lot better and hits harder so I can't see Paulie surviving

He's always been pretty tough though so I don't think it will be quick, morn of a sustained beating over 8-10 rounds

by Boxtthis Wed 19 Jun 2013, 9:50 am

Broner by mid to late round stoppage.

by Guest Wed 19 Jun 2013, 9:56 am

Paulie stopped on his feet/towel thrown in. Think he has enough slickness to avoid getting stopped early but it will be delaying the inevitable. Undoubtedly he'll complain etc but it is going to be a pretty one sided affair and, given it's Broner, not one I'm inclined to stay up for.

Have to say that I'd like Paulie to give Broner a slap but then I'd like anyone to give Broner a slap.

by BlakkMamba Wed 19 Jun 2013, 10:32 am

Paulie is tough as nails, but relies on speed for his wins, and I think broner will take that away from him. Broner by comfortable UD, I'd be impressed if Broner got the stoppage.

by JabMachineMK2 Wed 19 Jun 2013, 10:48 am

Please merge this into the V2 Boxing question of the day - its the EXACT same topic.

by Guest Wed 19 Jun 2013, 10:51 am

In fairness, I don't think it's too much to ask of Broner to get the stoppage. Hatton caught Paulie in about the 2nd round and took all the fight out of him before getting a late stoppage and didn't Khan force the ref to step in as well?

If it goes to points you'd have to ask a few questions about Broner (unless Paulie is doing a very good impression of Mo Farah all night)

by Strongback Wed 19 Jun 2013, 10:55 am

You know what they say about Paulie......Floats like a butterfly stings like a butterfly.

Can only see a one sided before stoppage win for Broner.

Broner in 4, put your house on i

by Guest Wed 19 Jun 2013, 2:02 pm

Broner's good, he ain't THAT good and, despite our opinion of him, Paulie surely ain't so bad that he gets stopped in four.

If he does then I would have to give Broner credit that I'm loathe to quite simply because he's a terr-watt. I'd rather suggest that it was a premature stoppage, a fix, Paulie got old overnight or he was drugged by a dark and nefarious group intent on having a World Champion so obnoxious he could be used to irritate the Taliban into surrendering

by TRUSSMAN66 Wed 19 Jun 2013, 2:19 pm

Can't understand why anybody would want Paulie to win on Saturday......Boxing is suffering from a lack of stars at the minute so I think Broner is good to have around....also..

Paulie stinks to heaven.........

Want broner to win...............

Because Broner, whilst undoubtedly talented, is an insufferable jerk who deserves a smack. He makes Hamed look like Alex Arthur

by TRUSSMAN66 Wed 19 Jun 2013, 2:30 pm

Like I said Boxing needs characters at the moment......................

Should Mayweather defeat Canelo....I think people would prefer...Broner v Floyd rather than Paulie-Floyd down the road.......

Broner v Manny
Broner v Matthyse
Broner v Floyd..............are all potential fights..........I'd love to watch,

by BlakkMamba Wed 19 Jun 2013, 2:58 pm

Let's not forget that Broner is relatively untested above super featherweight, he's only fought Demarco and Rees. Rees, to be frank, isn't even European level, and DeMarco whilst a good fighter is no better than Paulie - broner beat him in 8 rounds and it isn't clear if he will carry his power up. Whilst Paulie has been stopped twice in the later rounds by fighters that did carry power, any call of a stoppage before 11 is ambitious, if at all. Malignaggi has a solid chin - I remember (few years back now) when Miguel Cotto broke his eye socket and he fought through it. If he loses this belt it's possibly retirement, so don't expect him to give it up easily!

by TRUSSMAN66 Wed 19 Jun 2013, 3:01 pm

Problem is If Rees couldn't get Broner's respect and he punches harder than Paulie........How is Paulie going to get it....

Paulie was outclassed by Amir Khan and his reflexes are probably slower than Broner's now too....

I'd never pick a peak-stinker Paulie to beat Broner so how a passed it version does it god only knows.

by BlakkMamba Wed 19 Jun 2013, 3:06 pm

I think Malignaggi will be a different sort of test - he boxes at funny angles and whilst if Broner will (or should) work this out, he will be different to Gavin Rees, who whilst a slightly bigger puncher was a plodder. I'd be disappointed if he didn't ask a few questions at least.

I'd be stunned if Paulie won unless the extra weight really hasn't agreed with Broner. But I think he should be tough enough to take it into the later rounds or get through the fight.

There's a fine line between being a character and being a git, you should know yourself that it's very easy to cross that line. Broner sadly not only crosses that line, he travels into a different time zone. I think his arrogance puts more people off than it's likely to engage. Still, he's young and let's hope he's not too self absorbed to learn the difference between the two.

BlakkMamba
Broner hits hard and has incredibly fast hands so depending on Paulie's reaction to being hit (don't care who you are, it isn't fun) and perhaps more importantly, who the referee is, there's always a possibility that this one gets halted sooner rather than later. No doubt Paulie's a tough nut, but sometimes when a fighter appears to be being overwhelmed with punches and a lot of them are hitting the target, refs can over-react

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Wed 19 Jun 2013, 3:31 pm

Broner can walk through Paulie and walk him down

He was strong at 130 and 135, he was huge at both weights, and walks around about 150 ish so I doubt the power won't carry up

He hits at least as hard as Cano who has Paulie in real trouble in the last few rounds

The only way I see Paulie winning is by moving constantly in order to get Broner out of his rhythm and by throwing a killer stiff jab.

In other words doing something he's never done before..

Be careful Truss, say anything anywhere near insightful and Davide will make a topic of his own about it.

by davidemore Wed 19 Jun 2013, 5:28 pm

Paulie is a world class operator, especially when you consider he has NO power. With power, he'd beast so many more fighters.

Jab, don't jab me.

by TRUSSMAN66 Wed 19 Jun 2013, 5:29 pm

He isn't world class................If he is then so is Darren Vanhorn

by davidemore Wed 19 Jun 2013, 5:31 pm

Truss, grow up, I'll ghosty you.

Broner starts as favorite but man I'd love him to lose.

Where have you been Mate ??

by JabMachineMK2 Wed 19 Jun 2013, 5:32 pm

He's certainly not world class. he squeezed past Cano, and his best win came against Senchenko, the guy who retired Ricky Hatton who was so shopworn it was embarrassing.

You don't half spout some nonsense.

by davidemore Wed 19 Jun 2013, 5:38 pm

Opinion, back up Jabmachine, don't make me angry.................... mad

by JabMachineMK2 Wed 19 Jun 2013, 5:41 pm

Or what? Opinions can be wrong. You're calling Maglinaggi world class - which he is not. He hasn't faced and beaten "world class" opposition, unless your opinion of world class opposition is drastically different than the general consensus which shows a disgusting arrogance that frankly, I wouldn't be surprised with.

I don't understand this new format on here.

emore's response:

You tried to say that can Geale beat was 'world class' on another thread. How can i even trust you on here. You sir Jabmachine, are liable to say anything.

True but their affection for each other comes through the screen. its the power of LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE.

Davide wants to stay active in the sport of boxing forum's. Davide is ready to out talk anyone and remain at the top of the forum's. Davide is always ready.

by Reborn-DeeMcK-Reborn Wed 19 Jun 2013, 6:34 pm

Paulie is a character I would much rather have in boxing prefered to Broner. Why would anybody want to listen to a Mayweather impersonator when Paulie is very well spoken, answers questions sensibly and is good value when it comes to trash talking. Broner is a fat headed idiot who claims to be the next best thing but yet rivals Nathan Cleverly in the weak opponents club.

Paulie may not have power and has slowed in recent times, but his last couple of fights (he took Cano for granted) have been as decent to watch as the Hagler v Hearns type fights that Broner has been in, Rees, DeMarco etc Rolling Eyes

Paulie's trash talking easily out does Broner as he can at least string a sentence together in his own personal way rather than Broner's fake "Floyd" stutter and talks like there is something wrong with him. Its cringeworthy and false. Not a good character for the sport. What boxing needs is people who are real, not cheap wannabes like Broner.

by Strongback Wed 19 Jun 2013, 7:19 pm

Paulie's a character

Spoiler:

.

Malignaggi said “He uses brushes; I use combs. I don’t get started without combing my hair. That was pretty good, Adrien, I gave you credit but I got to come at you hard. Here is the difference between me and Adrien. We both got money but I am good looking. There are girls that are closer to you and then there is something that we call ‘weekend p.ussy. And that is Jessica. Jessica can do whatever she wants. Adrien thought he was getting closer but the only weekend p.ussy he gets is the one he pays for. Your name is feminized to begin with. Your mom named you Adrien because she thought you were a b****.”

Broner then cut in saying “Paulie is more of a girl’s name.”

Malignaggi: “Now you are fighting a real fighter. You know what happens when you fight a real fighter? They punch you back and now you are coming to a real weight class. Hopefully after I beat his ass, he will get his own personality and character. There’s nothing marketable about Adrien Broner. He’s not talented. I don’t know what he says half the time.”

by TRUSSMAN66 Thu 20 Jun 2013, 2:03 pm

Broner is fighting a real fighter apparently..........

Not a stinker..

by thebawwse Thu 20 Jun 2013, 4:22 pm

i like malignaggi, he's a g but he's going to get stopped mid to late rounds...

by TRUSSMAN66 Thu 20 Jun 2013, 4:27 pm

I think you are Paulie......You talk too much and stink the place out... Cool

by davidemore Thu 20 Jun 2013, 4:33 pm
