Paulie is making a big mistakes. I said it before, Artem was MADE for bare knuckle. Paulie is pillow fisted, he will get hit like he has never been hit. A decision loss is a moral victory for Paulie here.
Get hit like he's never been hit? lolol. What, because there's no gloves?
He's been in with elite boxers, who hit 10 times harder than Artem fucking Lobov. Gloves or no gloves aren't going to change that.
The lack of gloves open cuts, that's the only real difference. The transfer of force with gloves is the same, just dispersed over a larger surface area, therefore not causing cuts. And crucially, with well wrapped hands and gloves, you can punch as hard as you like as your hands are well protected - that was the original purpose of boxing gloves when they originally came to be.
A flush left hook from Cotto is going to hurt far more, and do far more damage than some shitty little punch from Artem fucking Lobov.
And Cotto is just one example, Paulie has also been in with Hatton, Judah, Porter, and Garcia. All guys with good power even by elite boxing standards.
The only x factor is that Paulie is shot to pieces, and in his most recent fight got stopped by a British level fighter called Eggington (the guy in the gif). So it wouldn't be a huge shock to me if Artem won, but the idea that Paulie is going to get hit like he's never been hit before is retarded.
