What's the odds that Artem throws an elbow, kick or takes him down? I think it really could happen. He hates Paulie after Paulie spat on him and slapped him. Normally I'd say no chance, he doesn't want to lose his purse or get sued, but people have done dumb **** before (Golota low blows) and I think Artem will gain a lot of notoriety if he shuts Paulie up.
I think Lobov will be able to fight within the rules of BKB. He'll be allowed to hold the neck and punch.
Didn't Paulie have bad hands for much of his boxing career? Will his hands even hold up without the padding of the glove?
BKFC is a joke of a promotion, their roster reads like a laundry list of UFC rejects and club level boxers who couldn't make it on the pro circuit. The fact that they've taken it upon themselves to award people a 'National Police Gazzette' title when the magazine has long been dead puts them just above Z money and his UBF when it comes to legitimacy. Lobov vs Knight was nothing but a shitshow of artless boxing, both swinging like cavemen with clubs til their faces looked unrecognizable. On paper Paulie would whoop Lobo any day of the week, but I'm still worried. Magic man is way past his prime, hasn't fought in years and has to adapt to a tiny telephone booth ring with no corners and the judges probably won't give him the W of it goes the distance. I'm in Pauline's corner all the way though, I like the guy, he's upfront, honest and a good talker, hey even Cotto couldn't KO him.
Naw, Artem doesn’t know how to do that even if he wanted to. I hope Paulie wins so bad. Can’t care less about bare knuckle boxing otherwise, I have fought pro in MMA, kickboxing and boxing but think this is ******ed.
If anyone has a shred of knowledge, washed up, 40 year old Paulie will genuinely rearrange this club fighters face. You think paulie is gonna let this caveman club away at him. He will barely touch him. Christ paulie might stop him
I honestly just learned of this fight through this forum. I never liked Paulie as a fighter but he showed plenty of balls throughout his career and I do enjoy him quite a bit as a commentator... I hope Paulie stays away from shenanigans like this in future. If he thinks he still has something left than he should make a comeback in the ring. This barenuckle garbage is extremely dangerous and nobody even turns out to see it.... honestly, bare knuckle boxing goes back to days of slavery.....we've evolved quite a bit since then
isn't is safer for the brain than boxing though? these dudes get more superficial injuries like cuts and bruises but concussion wise?
I'd like to see Lobov pull out a win, but I don't think he has the tools to do so. Goats with t-rex arms should not boxers be. Paulie by stoppage when Lobov gasses too much to hold his hands up in the 5th. Unless Paulie is waaaaay more shot than I thought. Then maybe he gets clinched and cut up badly and stopped
