Che, does The Marques of Queensbury rules mean anything to you? Basically those rules were set in place to stop the cave man type brawls that were common place at the time of their inception. Like lunging in head first, to have nothing resembling boxing skills but instead just throwing wild haymakers hoping they will land. To be nimble of foot and not just a plodding neandathal mouth breather. Hey wait a minute, that pretty much sounds like your boy Che. Cali huh? Go figure!

Miller, your Alamo comments were way out of line. And im from South Side Cali as well not Texas. Paulie is a good athlete but some how and some where along the years fighters and so called fans forgot what boxing is all about! Its about knocking F***ing heads off! Man to man combat!

It’s not dumb to think that a hook, cross, or body shot might count as much or more than two jabs. Fact, punch stats clearly shows that Paulie landed more jabs. Fact, punch stat clearly shows that Diaz landed more power shots. Guerrero did not do the same thing he came foward as much as he went backwards and landed a lot more crosses, uppercuts, and hooks. Robbery, was the first Holyfield vs Lewis fight this doesn’t even come close and yes the 118 to 110 was crazy. But, its hard to feel sorry for a guy trying to win a fight going backwards the WHOLE fight. Last, playing with Names is so childish! If you disagree state your case and make your points like an adult. We are all fight fans here I’m sure we will find more decisions that we agree on than we disagree on. I’m out!
Mr. D-umbb and Confused! LOL!

Robert Toyer, “anyone who knows anything about boxing knows Malignaggi won”? That’s a stupid comment.

And to show your lack of actually watching that fight, you stated Diaz was throwing good body punches, when infact he was throwing very few body punches. Most of his shots were to the head which had Paulie wobbling around and clowning out of embarrassment.

Let me start off with this, I REALLY APPRECIATE that we can give our opinions directly to this site without having somebody on the other side filtering out our comments. TSS does this and it drives me nuts, THANK YOU P4P. I like how Williams aleays gives his opinions which are usually what I am thinking. I think this is the best part of you site.

2nd Guerrero did the same thing but they gave it to him and nobody is complaining that he slapped and ran all night as well. Diaz may have landed the harder shots but Paulie just boxed and moved, Diaz is just a slow, flat footed typical Mexican style fighter. No power though but just fights like a bull. I am not a Paulie style of fighter, his style is a Mayweather type of fighter which everyone knows isn’t really liked by the Hispanic people but lets not do this to guys who make this there life, its not fair.

3rd this is addressed to Luie, Cotto -vs- MP is not a title fight that is why there is a catch weight. Well now the fading WBC has created the Diamond” belt as a filler for these unofficial weights?

CAIZ & MENDOZA are as straight as the roads leading to Big Bear, what a horrible call on this and many other fights that occur in Texas. The guys from Golden Boy & Goossen Tutor are always in the ring with there fighters! why? to let all the officials know who is signing there checks. This happens in California all the time. Its sick and I am tired of it.

I’m a Diaz fan and wanted him to win. But everyone who knows anything about boxing knows he lost. I can’t stand Malignaggi. BUT, he won. And he fought well. Diaz landed a lot of good body punches and that’s it. Ten good jabs vs. one good body punch….every round….come on! He made Diaz look like a one dimentional fighter. Diaz fought hard and paulie fought smart! Hope he gets a re-match. I’ll take Diaz again. But he better add more to his arsenol.

D-Umbb makes one very solid point. Many posts throughout the net today agree that the reason MMA is getting more popular than boxing is because of incidents like the Diaz incident. But D-Umbb is confused, the author never says this fight was a robbery. To be robbed you have to have something in your possesion, and as the author clearly points out, Paulie never possesed a chance to win this battle due to the stacked deck Golden Boy dealt for Diaz.

Robbery?!!!! Paulie landed more jabs and Diaz landed more POWER shots. If you think pitty pat jabs are better than hooks, crosses, and body shots then score it for Paulie. If you think power shots are better score it for Diaz. But to say that a guy that jabbed, ran, and held the whole fight was robbed is CRAZY! Personally, I’d rather watch Gina Carrano fight than Paulie 29 fight 5 KO’s!!!! I think Cory Spinks KO% is better than that!

it just depends on what you liked. Malignaggi’s quantity of punches that dominated the punchstats, or the quality of punches from Diaz that had Paulia all over the ring the majority of the fight.

no one will agree with 118, but a 1 round win either way or draw would have been appropriate. I personally gave the 1 round margin to Diaz.
