Artem takes this. He is fit as fck. Screw skill in this situation. It's get close, clinch and punch like fck for 2 mins.
there will be something lower on the hand, my understanding is it's still bareknuckle, (as per regulation of florida that fighters have to wear gloves - but what a 'glove' is isn't specified. So they're working around it by having some wrap lower down on the wrist or something - I think and hope) so knuckles exposed and slicing.
This doesn't play like regular boxing at all. Paulies pitter patter style won't translate. Here's the rub, bareknuckle Paulie's pitter patter will actually be capable of damage and knocking down Artem if he sits down on the punches and throws. It's chaos and a crap shoot, but Artem has been more active, and Artem can take a punch.
I'm on Artem on this.
nah we smart
I'm inclined to agree Paulie should be the favoriteLol, you just proved Malinaggi correct.
Dumb as fuck gloves. The knuckles will not make impact with those knucke cleavage gloves.
You actually may be retardedPaulie:
-Brittle hands
-Not a power puncher
-Hasn’t fought in years
-Emotional
-No BK experience
-BK does not equal Boxing
-Has been KO’d/TKO’d many times
-Toughness is in question
-Accustomed to 10+oz gloves
-Little to gain = liability
Artem:
-Does not have brittle hands
-Has fought recently
-Has more BK experience than Paulie
-Only KO’d/TKO’d once in 30 fights (2011)
-Toughness is not in question
-Accustomed to 4oz gloves
-Little to lose = dangerous
Ultimately I believe Artem’s qualities will translate better than Paulie’s in a BK fight. If this was a boxing match then Artem would get clowned hard AF but as I’ve said before, BK does not equal Boxing
I give Artem a 60/40 edge.
I'm pretty sure he'll be the favorite, i think the debate is whether or not it will be embarrasingly lopsided. I do think it has the potential to be just that.I'm inclined to agree Paulie should be the favorite
However, I'm not calling anyone who disagrees an idiot
If you are truly so confident, please place a large bet and post the slip. If it's a sure thing, it's free money, right?
Actually, that leaves 3% chance for a draw...oh wait a sec.Chance to win...
Paulie = 95%
Artem = 3%
We are too stupid to make it equal 100%.
