I had no horses in the race but I wish Paulie would’ve won just because if he did I think there was a good chance he would’ve came back and it would’ve been huge for the organization.
The guy gets a lot of hate but that just means people actually cared enough about him to actually feel that way. You can’t argue the fact that he was a draw even though he was several years removed from fighting, old and washed up.
Nothing against Lobov and he can stick around as long as he wants but he’s never going to be a draw for them. Their president was trying to hype Knight and Leonard Garcia for their next event. It will prob be a good fight but it’s not gonna bring even 1/10th of the total numbers, buzz and hype Paulie brought tonight and Artem’s next fight won’t either.
