and another one of my influences was kenny isaacs. kenny isaacs was a local boxing hero. and i was one of these kids that was getting beat up all the time byules. i wasn't much of a physical specimen. and kenny isaacs was-- he was the fighter of fighters. everyone admired that guy. i remember going to lynn and watching him fight sometimes. i was about maybe 14 years old, 13, 14, and ying, "w, is guy is so gat." i wish i cou be there in his corner, be sort of the kid that comes up with the water bucket, you know, and helps him. this is a gladiator, no one beat him up. but anyway, key isaacs was a big influence because,o make a long story or tee years later, key aa was imy c and llow lid nextoor to m eddie mccarthy, who was a professional fighter 135-pod,htig, ve good guy. d he took me uer his wg. but then he went off to the korean wa just before he did that, he turned me over to a local boxing hero, kenny isaacs and he told kenny, "kenny, take young paul here under your wing. he's my protege." kenny did that. and i was gonna retire as soon as i won the flyweight championsh
