I genuinely don’t know who they can give paddy next who he can beat. He doesn’t beat anyone in the top 30 or above

@AyyLmaonnaise 
give him Frevola. That's a reasonable step up in competition. If he loses, he loses. Can't be protected forever

What I learned from this fight is Paddy gets smoked by any top 10 guy who isn't washed.

I may look silly picking Tony, but the reason I went for Tony is because I honestly don't rate Paddy very highly. He won undeservedly against Gordon and now won against Tony. Gordon was borderline top 15 already, so the only fighters they can give Paddy is a ranked fighter. I honestly don't see him winning against anyone that is ranked right now.

Worst possible outcome. Another L for Tony and Paddy didn't improve at all
