Comments Thread For: Paulie Malignaggi: Bare Knuckle Fighting Is Bad For Boxer's Hands

It was a flash knockdown. Dat wasn't hurt, he'd just never encountered that type of attack before (an uppercut with a Muay Thai clinch pulling his head downwards). We can see from Dat's legs and what he did immediately afterwards that he wasn't hurt.

Paulie threw zero punches in the fifth round of a close fight. Broken hands or no, that's pathetic and he deserved to lose. He embarrassed the entire sport of boxing. He lost to a guy who isn't even good in MMA.

Shannon Briggs will be heavyweight champion if he gets the chance to. Joey Beltran on his best day is nowhere near the caliber of a 48 year old Briggs.

Dat was hurt dude he was shakey getting up he was not a puncher in boxing and he hadn't been dropped in professional boxing either. He won the rest of the exchanges but still got cut up and touched by an MMA fighter who was not that good either it's a different sport but either way every boxer I have watched has done well Paulie included people want to talk about aggression but what good is throwing punches if you are missing 90% of them.

He got up laughing and then savagely knocked the guy out. Did you even watch the fight? He wasn't hurt at all. His legs were steady, he was alert and responding to the ref.

Kovalev is still the bareknuckle king. He's so elusive it feels like he jumps out from behind a bush and then WHAM!, a broken eye socket and spinal injury from the impact.

I watch the fight entirely he got dropped with one solid uppercut in the clinch after he had just dropped him all this happened in the first minute of the first round he was hurt not to the point where he was on the verge of being knocked out but his legs went out from under him for a second. Nobody is not hurt at all and just drops man a drop is a drop you can say the same for boxing.

After 44 career fights as a professional boxer, former two-division champion Paulie Malignaggi made his Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship debut last year in a close and competitive loss to Artem Lobov. In recent months, former world boxing champions like Ishe Smith and Shannon Briggs have thrown their name in the hat of bare knuckle fighting.
