    They let Paulie ******ggi fight bareknuckle? Why not Paul Spadafora?

    Politics at play here I guess Paulie is allowed to make a living but they cancelled the entire BNC card because of Paul Spadafora's entry citing Boxing deaths and saying that as a professional Boxer Paul had an unfair and "potentially lethal" advantage over his PRO MMA opponent. Then once they canceled the Spadafora fight the rest of the card was allowed to proceed.

    Nice to see Paulie M. get another easy payday and victory maybe he needs two mazerattis and more cologne so the commission gave him a pass. Nevermind the real champs who gave their whole life to the sport.

    Scared of an ancient Spadafora, but not Paulie.

    I guess for good reason, the Malignaggi fight brought intrigue. Paul might just beat the stuffing out of whoever they put in front of him.

      Paul was 42 when his fight was cancelled and Paulie is 39. The difference is Paul S. Never truly lost a fight in or out of the ring and he doesn't break his hand every time he wipes his ass.

          I'm guessing Paulie got his license When they saw the video of Paulie going full pelt at his opponents face and then the opponent just standing laughing..

          They say Fury has pillow fists, Paulie has memory foam fists..

            Can only speculate that it's because Spadafora is a generally troubled dude and they had wider concern that he isn't healthy enough to take part in the professional fight.

            When Maglignaggi fought in that bareknuckle card, he hadn't been out of the sing for six years either.

              Their excuse for pulling Spadafora was that he was too dangerous and comes from too dangerous of a sport, citing all the Boxing deaths under 160lbs over the history of the sport and put in writing that Paul would hold a "potentially lethal" advantage over the opponent, who is a professional MMA fighter.

                Are you fucking kidding? Jesus.

                If I'm reading the flyer correctly, the events taking place in Wyoming. I was unaware they even had an athletic commision.

                  It was the only state that would allow the fight, then they pulled only Paul from the event. Everyone else made their money and had their fights.

                    You were getting ready to put hands on that boy and the commission knew it
