A top level boxer would clean these fringe dudes up
Sorry, it may sound disrespectful toward these bareknuckle MMA guys but imagine what a Spence or Canelo would do to them. Not all pro boxers are fit to do this shyt I admit that though.
oh yeah. A guy like prograis with his head movement and power would need two at a time against him.

Dunno why some ppl thought washed ass Paulie would be some champion of pro boxing in this bareknuckle shyt (and why this mattered at all). He got put away in a miserable fashion by a domestic UK level dude on his last fight more than 2 years ago, he has brittle hands, he is 38, he was always a weak puncher and he probably hasn't done much training since he retired either. Add that he has a very defensive style which usually doesn't translate well into a toughman competition like stuff like bareknuckle, hell it often doesn't go over well in pro boxing either.
All that about Paulie is true but he still should have cleaned him up breh. Artem was slow as fukk swinging at air most of the night. Dudes on this card from top to bottom were unskilled as fukk :pachaha:

I’m wondering what the purses are because I feel like they should be going after pro boxers who probably won’t sniff a title rather than meathead MMA dudes. But it kind of feels like they’re going for the take turns punching each other in the face vibe rather that skillful fighting.

They can get MMA dudes easier cause they usually get paid less than boxers plus the whole image of these shows is a lot closer to what MMA fans are used to than what boxing fans are used to. This carny, cartoonish violence with toughman competition like ethics which is somewhere halfway between WWE and boxing in marketing is appealing to more MMA fans than boxing fans. UFC was like this too and I guess many smaller fringe MMA organizations are still like this.

Malignagi is probably the most feather-fisted pro boxer of all-time.

Dude got pillows for hands and straight up bullshyt boxing opinions. Dude ain’t going to live this down. Don’t know if it’s a good look for the sport if this dude up there giving opinions on Showtime.

As a boxer don’t you got to register your hands as weapons? Dude walking around with water pistols. :pachaha:
