    Paulie is 8/15 to win. That seems incredibly generous based on boxing form. I'd have thought a 1/10 shot.

    Artem is going to win imo. Firas Zahabi has a good video on the fight on his YouTube channel. People are overlooking some of the differences in rules compared to boxing ala the clinch and the fact artem can throw Paulie to the ground and not lose points. Artems made for bare knuckle Paulie's not imo. I think alot of people will be surprised. Or I could be completely wrong. Looking forward to it.

    I don't understand how 2 year retired Paulie Maliaggi (beaten up by bum Sam Eggington in his last fight) vs Non Boxer Artem Lobov in a sport (not Boxing) gets it's own thread in this forum.
    Lots of top fights just go into mega threads.
    This is not boxing. This is not relevant. This Should be moved to MMA or whatever. Whatever the result of this 'fight' it means nothing. People shouldn't be giving it oxygen.

    The thread is not about just one fight, read the OP, it's about the sport in general, this bout is the first one to really get a lot of attention, could be the last, who knows.

    Can't wait for this, hope it's a good fight and of course Artem wins.

    The clinch and dirty boxing rules give him a chance where I think otherwise he wouldn't have one.

    Sorry, it bothers me because it is unregulated irrelevant rubbish. It's sad. Paulie shouldn't be 'fighting' any more and Artem probably shouldn't either. Paulie particularly needs to cop on before he gets brain damage.
    It's not a proper sport and I don't see what it brings apart from a paycheck. It reminds me of Ali getting beat up by Berbick, voyeur stuff.

    What's the general opinion on the Paulie Artem fight? I can't see Paulie inflicting any damage on Artem during this toe to toe slug fest. Maybe in a boxing match Paulie may have a chance as he's more technical but here that won't cut it, this is close your eyes and brawl.

    It's very hard to see Paulie not winning this. Paulie is way past his best but at the end of the day it's a boxing match and even though it has been a long time since he was world champion he will technically be the far better fighter. Artem has a punchers chance and his only chance is to try and beat Paulie to the punch with some wild swings but other than that it's very hard to see him getting any change.

    Randall Bailey's fight is probably most interesting considering how deathly his power is wiith gloves.

    Absolutely no interest in seeing Paulie fight any more, he needs to stay behind the mic where he is fantastic. And Lobov is one of the biggest hacks in combat sport history. I guess it is akin to buying a ticket for a ****ty zoo.

    Paulie is a scumbag. Spitting in someone's face is the lowest of the low, and deserves to have his face ground into the concrete.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    Is Bailey still fighting tonight? I've seen no mention of him since the original announcement.

    Lobov showed a picture of his swollen hands after the Jason Knight fight and claimed no breakages. I don't believe him just by how bad they looked. I think he broke them and took this fight anyway (2 months later) due to the payday.

    The obvious rebuttal is that the commission would know about it & give you a suspension if you had broken hands. Yep, that is certainly the case with properly sanctioned boxing and MMA bouts. But I don't know the craic with Bareknuckle.

    I could be wrong; it's just a hunch. Artem is very headstrong and it's exactly the kind of thing he would do. I've never seen hands swollen up like that after a fight and not been broken.

    I thought the norm was to have two "fair play" men not one? Although at least fair play men tend to actually break it up and make it a bit safer!


    I wouldn't consider it boxing. Would I be interested in it as a "sport"? I'd have to say no. Similar to UFC for me. But there is a novelty factor I suppose. I did see a few interviews and your man Lobov comes across as sound enough whereas Mr. magic man comes across as a bit of an arsehole.



    I suppose it's like the time the Dublin footballer (was it Johnny Magee?) boxed the Australian snooker player , Quentin something-or-other, in the stadium. Just a novelty.



    I read the comments about Lobov having some advantage in terms of no breaks being called and some wrestling allowed. But he'd have to take a fair few punches to close that distance to get in to wrestle. And there doesn't even seem to be a corner in that ring, so nowhere to to be caught or cut off. You have to imagine that Malinaggi would just keep dancing away and catch Lobov with a few each time he comes in. Maybe after a round or two when Lobov is cut up. Malinaggi would plant the feet and do extra damage. If it goes that far.



    Personally, I wouldn't allow it if it was up to me. But it's not. Each to their own!

    On the flip side Pauli's hands are quite small and while in traditional boxing that can be an advantage, in bareknuckle I'd suggest it's a distinct disadvantage.

    Lot different cracking small hand bones off an opponent's skull without gloves on to protect them.

    Does anyone know what both fighters are set to earn tonight?
    Will Malignaggi be receiving the bigger cheque regardless of the result?
