Comments Thread For: Lobov Reveals That He Was Approached To Face Malignaggi in 'Boxing' Rematch

[Combat Talk Radio]

people counting out lobov were r3tarded, the same as the ones that believed ronda would beat floyd in any combat sport or that conor would beat floyd in the ring. artem is a professional ATHLETE who trains MMA and can take and dish out a lot of damage - Paulie looked scared tbh and I don't blame him.

the thing is though, even with a ref that allows clinching to some degree in the ring, it wont be to the same extent as the clinching allowed in bareknuckle and the biggest thing is that the boxing gloves act as a shield - both for paulies brittle hands and to block incoming punches from lobov.

the ring is bigger so paulie has more room to move about, and he is likely better conditioned to go 12, 3 minute rounds. i think the rawness of bareknuckle scared paulie, you could see it on his face as he was entering the arena. with gloves he doesnt have to worry about receiving knuckle to the bone contact and can put more power into his shots.

im telling you it doesnt matter what ref shows up, paulie will outclass lobov easily. i do hope this fight happens, fan of both guys and like to see lobov getting paid, and paulie gain back even just a little bit of respect that he lost from idiotic mma fans.

(lobov fighting zubaira in ufc is what i want to see though)

Did you not see Paulie vs. Eggington?

Lobov has a caveman chin. Eggington has half glass. Paulie's punches won't do jack WITH gloves, they didn't anything without gloves, and if Artie walks through the bee sting punches again and gets inside, AND if the ref is one who allows inside fighting without breaking it up, Paulie is taking an L.
