MMA is probably the safer sport for the athletes. Boxers are constantly getting hit on the head and MMA fighters generally aren't as powerful punchers as pro boxers. Brain damage is far worst than joint pain.

It's not just that. With MMA after a big hit that drops a fighter the fight is usually finished shortly afterwards, due to the fact that once a fighter is down there is no need for the opponent to walk back to his corner to let that fighter back-up .
Look at AJ being knocked down 4 times and then being allowed each time to get back-up likely concussed. In MMA the fight would have likely been over after his first knockdown.Comment

Neither of these mfers can punch a hole in a wet paper bag. Its going 5 rounds unless Jesus strikes one of them down during the fight.
Skill still matters in BK fighting doe. And Paulie is leagues above this mfer. Artem had a losing record in his own sport ffs.
But to the point the only chance Artem has is if Paulie isn't taking this fight seriously which could be the case or if Paulie starts slow & Artem starts quick cuz this is a 10 minute fight & some high level boxers don't even realllllllly start til about minute 5 to 7 of the fight which is more likely to be a reason Paulie loses if Paulie were to lose.
Randomly if Paulie does lose here its an awful f#cking look for him & kinda to boxing to just like woulda been the case if Floyd had lost to McConor. To some extent this is boxing vs MMA in a more even-ish playing field sport. And if Paulie gets KO'd by this guy he needs to quit his job with Showtime & move to Italy full time & become a hermit never to be seen again cuz he'll never be able to live that down.Comment
