Bare fisted I have to believe Lobov KOs Paulie. Paulie gonna get crushed. Sometimes I wonder if he is dealing with a full deck.

as long as lobov can take the punches then he wins. paulie will have his moments early on landing some nice clean shots but if lobov stays on his feet which i predict he will, its over for paulie.Comment

I'm kinda feeling like this is gonna be Paulie's first & last BK fight.
I think either this is gonna be a rougher business then he expects (although BK rules are 2min rounds & only 5 to 7 rounds I've heard so he only gots 10-14mins of fighting time or 3-5rounds in boxing time) OR this sketchy BK league guy is gonna rip him off cuz this is likely to be the most profitable BK fight of all time so Paulie is surely getting a PPV cut, but if he'll be legit paid what the PPV revenue was I have doubts on.
This used car salesman looking "promoter" oozes the look of a mfer who's gonna get a mill or two in his hands from this event & decide Paulie don't deserve his 200k or 500k or w/e of that money.Comment

I definitely agree Lobov isn't getting stopped. Thats a lock.
But idk that Lobov is winning. This is afterall a short fight (3 to 5 boxing rounds from my understanding although broken down into 5 to 7 2min rounds) & Paulie isn't going to be staying in front of Artem just taking shots. He's gonna be sticking & moving & building up points I'd imagine. He probably gots the first 3 or 4 rounds going his way just off of that basic strategy.
But I will admit idk if BK is scored differently then boxing/MMA, but if it isn't I definitely think Paulie is a favorite here. Although I wasn't thinking that originally cuz I thought BK fights were going 3 or 5 minutes a round like boxing or MMA &/or they were fighting as many rounds as boxing.
I will say I think some of the roughness of BK fighting that is more MMA-ish won't work in Paulie's favor, but idk that I see it altering his chances of winning that much.
Randomly I saw Paulie was a +140 dog in this fight so anyone looking to make some money or support boxing may wanna get in on that unless their is something different with BK scoring that I'm not aware of cuz idk that I see much chance of Paulie losing a 10 to 14 minute fight with a guy like Artem.Comment

Have you watched Lobov's BK fight with Travis Knight? You see how he fights? As a general rule a boxer is gonna exploit the f#ck outta that guy in a short fight. Its certainly gonna be the rule & not the exception for a legit championship level boxer to win vs that caliber of a guy.
And you do know Artem's KO'd 4 guys in 30 MMA fights right? Granted there is more going on then just boxing in MMA fights, but Artem isn't a powerful guy by any measurement.
And lets also not short sell Paulie's chin too much either. Granted Paulie's been KO'd several times, but he's only been KO'd once early (to Shawn Porter) & this is a 10-14 minute fight. And Lobov is definitely no Showtime Shawn lets be real now.
Lobov's most likely path to victory is a quick start & Paulie starting slowly &/or being too patient as boxers might be more in the mode of doing at the pro level. Or Lobov has a default path to victory if Paulie just breaks his hand & can't continue or something along those lines. And I do think there is some small fraction of a shot he just doesn't take to BK fighting, but I've heard of too many rumors & legit stories by Paulie & his homies to not believe he's been in some fights that were BK already & far more real & dangerous than anything he's experienced in a boxing ring to think thats legit legit something that could go down.Comment

I don't think you watched the full press conference. Watching it now & its boring & sh^tty as f#ck.
Granted the lil episodes Paulie & Artem have had previously & with this latest one are a virtual lock to be the most memorable highlight moments of this "beef" & surpassing the fight highlights.Comment
