I fought on a Tuesday night and then again on Thursday and had three fights in that first week. But Paul said he wanted to be a fighter ''from when I was 12 years old. Switched From Southpaw. But when Paul was 16 and the braces came off, he dragged his father to the Police Athletic League gym down the street.
A natural left-hander, Paul was switched to an orthodox stance by his father. Paul fought six times that summer as an amateur and won all six, five by first-round knockout. But in the fall, his father told him to forget about boxing and concentrate on school. When Paul graduated, his father told him to forget about boxing and go to college. After a semester at a community college, Paul left for dealer school and got a job on the dice tables at Bally's Park Place Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City.
He took a leave of absence from his job last month. He figured if Paul was going to fight, he should at least get the best advice possible. If it don't happen every day, it's an accident. Paul had more of a chance getting in an accident driving back and forth to Atlantic City every day.
You gotta put things in perspective. I couldn't sleep at night until Paul was home. I used to wait for him at 2, 3, 4 in the morning. At the South Philadelphia Gym, not far from the Passyunk Gym where Giardello used to train on the floor above the second-floor pool room, the father watched Paul being taught some fundamentals for his fight tonight against Marty Kurland.
Yeah, that's it.
