I figured this as well (although I'd never watched Paulie box) but it seems boxing and bare knuckle are not as similar as we might have thought. I watched the whole main card and found it interesting that Paulie was the only one on the card that was constantly running away from his opponent. Everyone else, boxers included, were engaging their opponent. Paulie is a boxer, but he is not a "fighter." If you saw him do what he did tonight out in the streets you'd laugh at him.
Sure, if he was running and then picking his opponent apart then that would be one thing but what I saw tonight was a guy running, throwing very low output, and when he did throw his shots were very weak and inconsequential.

Paulie's prefight antics were quite entertaining and he has great trash talk, IMO. That alone had me pulling for him (and a very unlikely future matchup with McGregor) but then I saw him in the ring and quickly joined Team Lobov. I could go without seeing Paulie ever "fight" again.

Everyone has been underestimating Korean Zombie but remember he looked very good vs Yair Rodriguez before Yair landed that hail mary KO with 1 second left in the fight.
