I know a lot of MMA fans are overjoyed at Artem defeating Paulie but in reality the 'fight' was absolute dog shit and has no replay value. We had Paulie, a former boxing champion who did everything in his power to not fight. He thought evading and making Artem look like he didn't belong in the ring with him would be enough. Then we had Artem, whilst game - was absolutely awful and just missed shot after shot. There was nothing good about this fight at all, their styles didn't mesh and it made for awful watching. The Knight vs Lobov fight was a lot more entertaining and was an absolute war.
I'm glad Artem won as Paulie winning would have been bad due to his attempt to win by not fighting. It definitely set bare knuckle apart from professional boxing in what it values when scoring a fight. But I don't see where bare knuckle goes from here, there was nothing about that fight that made me want to tune in to the next event. I feel like this is the biggest fight that the organisation will ever put on and it was garbage.
