Paulie Malignaggi returning...in bareknuckle

Agree fully, he will get hurt. Even if they offered him great money its not worth it at his age.

 

Even sadder than the first time Paulie tried bare knuckle boxing.

 

I didn't like him as a boxer and can't stand him as a pundit or commentator. Always shouting, talking at a hundred miles per hour, and interrupting people. Some of his takes are ridiculous, as well.

 

He likes his money and flashy flash, does Paulie. A bit like Haye in that regard.
I don't think his defensive style is a good fit for bare knuckle as it seems too hard to defend that long without gloves. I mean he got hit quite a bit by Lobov, who has very short reach and was never a trained boxer. Lobov actually did really well in that fight.
But I would suspect he gets to pick 'good' matchups here so they can sell his 'brand'.

 

I think he craves the attention too. McGregor broke his brain back in the day, and I bet Paulie is still drooling for that fight as he did then.

 

Dude was fuming. He was right, but he wouldn't let it go and kept crying.

 

I viewed a video a while back where Paulie showed his hands. One hand looked it was 95 years old; all gnarly from broken bones.

I have no idea why he should do this unless he is seriously in bad shape financially.

I like his fight commentary and his videos.

 

When Billy Conn came close to dethroning Joe Louis, by decision, got aggressive against corner advice, trying to knock him out, and Joe Louis knocked him out instead, Conn was interviewed. They asked why he went for the knockout or something to that effect, when he had the decision in the bag. He said something like "What's the use in being Irish if you can't be stupid?" I don't want to sound racist, but maybe that's as much an Italian thing. Ethnicity can work in a lot of ways. This might be one of the ways. I don't know what I'm saying.

 

His last bare knuckle fight he lost to a retired MMA fighter who wasn't even considered particularly good in the MMA world. Plus his hands were shattered.

How broke is he? Can't he try to get back to broadcasting?

 

Let it go magic man.

 

I mean wouldn’t you be mad too if someone lied and slandered your name.

 

RIP Champ.

 

Yes, but he made his point. He thought screaming and whining about it over and over would convince people that didn't side with him.
