Paulie Malignaggi did lose to that Artem Lobov in a bare knuckle fight so it just shows you what being old and retired can do when you come up against a bigger, fresher, younger and still active man. But that is a totally feather fisted Malignaggi with a stick and move style which was all wrong for a bareknuckle brawl. And while someone like Lobov may be a total scrub compared to the level Malignaggi once competed at, he is still a pro-fighter with a reputation for his toughness. He's no white collar fighter, that's for certain. A better comparison would be to look at what an ageing, well past his best Bert Cooper did to that bare knuckle fighter, or how a distinctly average LHW pro like Johnny Waldren sparked out Lenny McLean in the first round in an unlicensed bout, despite giving away a massive amount of size. So if you want to fight Lee Froch, fair enough, but any white collar fighter, heavyweight or not, who thinks they would stand any chance against a beast like Carl Froch just because he's retired and now over 40, would be in for a massive reality check.
No way in hell any amateur/white collar/low level pro beats Carl Froch, not now or in the next ten years. bare knuckle just means he beats the living **** out of you even faster. there’s levels to this game. I remember my mate was a middleweight amateur, boxing all his life, couldn’t kick a football but was handy as hell. In sparring he would make heavyweights look silly. On the flip side I was 6-0 amateur 20 years old, thought I was mayweather until my trainers 14 year old son gave me a good hiding one sparring session! Little **** lol
already a subscriber ferg seen some good boxing interviews on your channel also your video other day of beta male and the friend zone was hilarious mate. Also good luck with your fight in June.
Haha cheers mate. It's actually July 31st the fight I got dates mixed up with another local show. I will be against a Polish southpaw I think I'll put a video up on my channel mate.
I've been in with some pros. I got robbed against that Jordan Thompson who's 10-0 as a pro now and was sparring Tyson Fury. If Lee Froch takes it we will see. There's a reason Carl Froch never moved up in weight.
