I doubt Paulie would've taken the fight if he was concerned about his hands? Or maybe he just has no respect whatsoever for Artem and thinks he can beat him easy anyway.
I've never watched this bare knuckle s*** i think i'll check this fight out.
It was a fair amount of money by how Paulie was talking.
Paulie is a pretty boring fighter but this was arguably his most watchable, exciting fight.
He gave cotto a tough fight with a ****ed up eye 2 division world champion, and kept his title with a broken hand and has wins over ndou zab judah, and I though he outlanded broner.
Compare that to an average ufc fighter like lobov who lost half his fights and is an mediocre boxer and calling this fight for paulie wasnt a tough call even though he's 38 and retired years aho.
Paulie beat him again in this fight. Lobov didn't land shlt and couldn't figure out paulie's defense. Paulie outlanded him.
