    Paulie making a fool out of himself, take the mic away from him


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,257 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    Not a great contest though to be honest. Having watched a couple of the events now, it's not really a good spectacle IMO. Not as entertaining as boxing and not even in the same stratosphere as MMA.

    Well done Artem.

    Paulie still talking on my delayed stream here :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,919 ✭✭✭simongurnick


    The more paulie talks, the more you dislike the guy

    I feel like it's over before it starts. Three minute rounds would make it far more entertaining but I imagine it's for safety reasons that we don't get that...

    Ah, Delighted for Artem... Classy guy! Really rose above Paulie's scumbag behaviour. Showed Paulie more respect than he deserved in the end. What's not to love about a guy like him. Will take on anyone.

    Should really be 7 rounds for a main event instead of 5. Ends way too quickly


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,439 ✭✭✭Still Ill


    All the sweeter for the fact that I came dangerously close to sticking a couple of hundred on Paulie for the easy money!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,891 ✭✭✭SlowBlowin


    As a boxing match I had Paulie ahead.

    Pleased to see Artem win, just because Paulie is such a "^&*.

    Delighted for Artem, said it from the start Paulie wouldn't win. All we're gonna hear is him crying now.

    Came back with a disappointed look on their face!!!"

    I don't know if that's just BS considering Rumble works for BKFC and wants to throw some dirt at Paulie but sounds like something Paulie might do.

    Just to remind everyone rumble is a 35 year old man posting stuff like this.

    Just watched this and watched the knight fight yesterday no comparison in the 2 fights but question who is the guy in Artem’s corner wearing the scarf around his lower face?

    Guy with the scarf was Dosbrak. Was at his last fight also.

    It was a bit silly having a guy with known brittle hands and putting him in to a BKB fight. Surely it was pretty obvious what was going to happen.

    Well according to the majority Paulie wouldn't be touched and would blitz artem in a round. That seemed to be the general consensus anyways.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,625 ✭✭✭✭Johner


    I thought Paulie won tbf. Not a great fight though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,464 ✭✭✭Ultimate Seduction


    I can't believe Artem won that, he did better than I thought but not enough to win.

    I gave the first 3 to Paulie, thought he kept Artem at bay with the jab and Artem couldn’t figure out how to get in close until near the end of round 3.

    That's fair, it was close anyway. Paulie got tired and it showed late on. If he wasn't on his bike all fight he probably wouldn't have been as tired.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,362 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    I only saw highlights. But going by face damage, seems Pauly inflicted more on his opponent.
    Glad u didn’t pay for it, seems it was a real boring fight after all the buildup. Probably should have known Pauly would be defensive and try to win via technical point picking.
    Well done Artem. This will be a big boost to his profile.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    BKFC clearly want brawls and action. I assume there's been some nods and winks towards the judges in that regard. You can't come in there with a jab and head movement and expect to win. It's not what BKFC want. Hard to begrudge Artem winning in that regard.

    All in all a very unsatisfying fight. I kinda expected it. Paulie was an odd choice for BKFC... and bareknuckle was an odd choice for Paulie. They've made their money but it's not gonna bring many people back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,741 ✭✭✭uptherebels


    Anybody know how much they both got for this fight?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,435 ✭✭✭weemcd


    You'd have to think Artem would have got the nod in this if it was any way close (I think he won anyway) because Artem clearly has a future in bareknuckle, while Paulie was in this as a one off.

    How much'd you make?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,182 ✭✭✭RonanP77


    I gave it to Paulie 3-2 but still wouldn't say he was robbed. They obviously just favour aggression and power over accuracy, volume and defensive fighting.

    I was going for Artem but didn't really give him a chance. He's a toe to toe brawler rather than a boxer.

    why do they call it the squared circle ?....when they have a circled circle :)

    First time look at bkfc, The format is crap imo, 5 2minute rounds, it doesn't work well. Tbh I was expecting it to be a lot more exciting and was disappointed with the whole show.

    Yeah, it's the same with women's boxing. The two minute rounds are just over too quickly. Feels like it's only getting going, then it's done. I guess it's too tough a sport on the hands to go for longer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,702 ✭✭✭fonecrusher1


    Yeah Paulie the 3 judges and the entire world is wrong. You won. :rolleyes: You don't win fights running away from the other guy for 5 rounds. Artem was literally chasing him around the ring. Not the most accurate work from Artem but he was constantly trying to engage and clearly the aggressor.

    He won alright. But not by much.

    Didn't women's boxing change to three minute rounds recently?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,439 ✭✭✭Still Ill

    No idea. The Katie Taylor fight was definitely two minute rounds though.

    Only amateur. Women's pro still 2 mins. No idea why or what the logic is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,362 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    A narrow win for Artem is fair enough, but to be honest they are both winners from that. I feel a bit sorry for Pauly the way the whole Conor situation and fallout happened. I am Conor no.1 fan but too often now he just oversteps the mark, dunno exactly what happened but he and his team clearly wronged Pauly. Pauly seems like a fairly straight up and over emotional guy, while Conor is more calculated and ruthless.
    This BNF tho will never be mainstream like UFC/MMA. Even the owner doesn’t have anywhere near the charisma of Dana.

    Two winners? Nope. Artem won. Pauly is a mouth. We've all seen the footage. He got knocked on his hole. Bitched and got sacked. The only reason he kept mouthing was he thought he'd get a multi million dollar fight with Conor. Never happened. Chaps a fool who needs to stick to the commentary

    You can’t deny that Conor and his whole team stitched up Pauly. What kind of professional boxer releases footage of his sparring session with the sole purpose to poke fun of the partner and big yourself up?? Oh I guess Conor is no professional boxer.
    Who cares if Pauly said some disrespectful things about a MMA vs a boxer beforehand?? The way Conor and Kavanagh go on with their twitter/instagram bullying is a disgrace.
    At least Mayweather made them all look like amateurs in spite of the paycheck they received. Conor was an embarrassment in that contest, all rushing in with his rabbit punches.

    Sorry, but I find it difficult to feel sorry for a guy who slaps and spits in people's faces. He got what he deserved.

    The slap was no worse than when Conor slapped Diaz in their face off for 1st fight. The spit I cannot defend.
    But my point is Conor and his team started the whole thing with Pauly, they acted like schoolyard bullies and had a great laugh at his expense. In fact they even seemed to pre plan it as punishment for Pauly comments. Pauly was a retired ex boxing champ currently commentator, what was he supposed to say when asked about potential Floyd vs Conor??
    I think Pauly has a few screws loose and his reactions were completely childish. Even the 1st time he showed up to speak to Conor as he made his way to the Mayweather presser, he seemed like a lost child looking for resolutions, and then couldn’t handle his emotions when Conor went face to face.
    It’s all unnecessary nasty but guess that’s what generates money.

    Oh, don't get me wrong... I'm not defending Conor at all.. He's turned into a thoroughly unlikable thug.

    Can anyome find anything on the actully scoring system is it the same as boxing or is it more aggresion based ?

    Is there anywhere that putlimes how judges are to score fights ? I know they score each round on the 10 point must system but what are they looking for ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,047 ✭✭✭Jamiekelly


    I don't think they consider body shots to be really worthy of any consideration. It's been like that in previous BK fights too. If you go to the body it's only really for your own benefit trying to drain the gastank of the other guy. Aggression and head shots are the main scoring criteria iirc.
