Media Artem Lobov interview

[voodoo chile1]

excellent interview. artem is confident and makin alot of sense here peoples. his take on bare knuckle fighting compared to other combat sports, is very interesting. one could even make an argument he has way more experience in combat sport than paulie does.

he convinced me anyway. i'm puttin my money on underdog artem. paulie gonna get ktfo.

 

[cheesus]

I'd love to see Artem win but I don't see how he does it. I just hope they've brought in some solid boxers for him, because training with some Euro circuit mma fighters will not cut it.

 

[cheesus]

It's a shame artem isn't better/more successful 'cause he does seem like a decent enough guy.

Agreed, he isn't the greatest fighter but you have to respect him. It's a shame he is faced with such a disadvantage with his physical attributes, if he had some decent reach on him it could change everything. He is a lot more intelligent than people give him credit for as well.

rewatch the video, pay particular attention to what he says about the jason knight fight, the way he describes the differences between all combat sports was very convincing to me. i think artem might be on to something here.

I rewatched Artem v Knight today. Damn Artem cannot box for shit. He basically ducked his head and threw haymakers.
Even with two broken hands,Pauli via decision.

 

[chukutee]

Artem is in deep....no way , unless things are fixed, does he last with Pauli...

I don't see why it would be fixed in Artem's favor. It would be better for Paulie and BKFC if Artem got smashed, to set up a match with Conor.

The whole thing is WWE-esque.

Truth.

Goatem Lobov will surpass Conor as the #1 draw in MMA after his absolute destruction of Paulie

Cliff up this thread homie

Is bareknuckle more intense?

“Go outside now and train sprint for 2 min ... see how long you last ... it’s a very different preparation ... he has not a clue what he’s in for here, he is just preparing for a boxing 12 round fight, not that.”

What have you learned from your last fight with Jason Knight?

“Many things I wasn’t aware of ... the biggest thing I took from that fight was the clinch work ... I didn’t want to stay in the clinch with another mma fighter, another guy that knows how to work the clinch ... I was just pushing him off and really not trying to stay in there and as a result that cost me a lot of energy ... it is something I completely will change in this fight ... he is a boxer who has no experience in the clinch so of course the clinch is going to be my biggest advantage in this fight”

What do you think Paulie Malignaggi is overlooking in BK?

“Many things ... let’s say if you take a sprinter and a marathon winner, depending on which test you give them one is going to seem fit and the other will seem unfit but the truth is both of them are fit but they just fit in different ways and to me this is the biggest mistake Paulie is going to make here ... he is just going to take his usual boxing approach and he’s not going to be ready for the sprints ... he is preparing for a marathon but he will be doing sprints.”

Do you think training boxing will help evolve your mma skills?

“ ... one thing you must not forget, when I used to fight mma, striking was my number one thing so as a result I only spent 10% of my prep on striking because I knew that I was lacking in grappling, I was lacking in wrestling, so every camp that I did, it was all grappling, all wrestling, all TD defense ... and now suddenly I do nothing but striking and that was already my strong point so my improvements are huge”

WAR Artem! Hope he puts Paula in the fucking ER for months.

Paula doesn't know what hes in for. Hes not about the fucking life Artem is. Hes gonna freak out when he feels that bare knuckled fist for the first time in his life, and immediately starts pouring blood like a whore pig. Paulas already physically past it and fat. Not to mentioned emotionally raped and pillaged by Artem's best friend Conor. Hes in no place psychologically to be going to war with someone like Artem.

WAR WAR WAR

ARTEM JBG LEGEND

PAULA BITCH!

PAULA BITCH!

I love me some beef. Real beef. None of that hormone injected, engineered bullsh**, I’m talking all natural, grass fed, free range beef baby.

If Paulie wins, this sets up one of the greatest grudge matches ever.

If Artem wins, this will be one of the worst falls from grace ever. Paulie has really put a lot of stake in this and he really upped the ante with the slap and the spits and the endless sh** talk. He will be the donkey of the year if he loses, far surpassing Alexander Hernandez... I kind of feel bad for him tbh.

LoL

Cmon bruv, tell us what you really think...

According to him he’s been training with some of the best boxers in Ireland...

Any sad excuse for a man that spits at someone deserves the worst CTE they can get. It Artem pulls this off it'll be my favorite sport moment of all time

This entire thing is weird. Never thought Paulie out of anyone would be cut out for bare knuckle but if it's stand up and Artem keeps coming forward winging punches is he really going to connect much? Who knows. His reach is like 65 inches. If Paulie isn't dumb enough to sit in the pocket and 'let's bang bro' then he shouldn't lose this. The whole thing is bizarre but it will be interesting to see how a former championship boxer goes about this.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Artem called Aikido a "fake martial art."

I hope Master Segal doesn't hear of this.

 

[flowoftruth]

Artem just had life and death with some scrub sorry don't think he gonna last with someone who knows how to strike

 

[Daniel4802]

If Conor doesn't show up in his corner to support him (again), Artem should call him out after the fight and challenge him.

The goat will do it i have faith
