Paulie beats him straight off the couch.
Grouch -Paulie beats him straight off the couch.
He would, but Paulie will show up in shape. He’s trying to get a fight with Conor, plain and simple. His goal is to embarrass and destroy Artem, in hopes of the buzz being enough for Conor to fight him in a boxing ring. That’s the entire reason Paulie is doing this, and he knows it’d be a multi-million dollar payday. He’s not going to risk it by showing up out of shape. He’ll likely say he didn’t train for it, and talk shit the whole way through about how Artem sucks, and it wasn’t worth his time to train, but I’m sure Paulie is training now for it, and training hard.
moogin83 -Not on the level of Conor? Lobov needs to really work on his trash talk...
Haha he pretty much said "Paulie isn't on Conors level but he's on my level"
I can't see Paulie losing this, I think Artems best chance is with a dirty boxing orientated game plan but even then, he's still fighting a boxer who boxed at the highest level.
If Paulie wins, no doubt he calls out Conor.
Are there any betting lines on this being publicity only and not actually gonna happen

He’s been training for weeks. Talks about it on his podcast every Monday or random interviews.
He definitely wants a Conor fight, but in the meantime he will take all his frustrations out on Artem. I bet he wins by stoppage.
Swamp Donkey -Choo Choo mother fuckers
I can’t explain why, but every time I see his face he reminds me of Barney Rubble.
Suicidalforlife -Bobby Lupo - If this happens, and Paulie is in any kind of shape, he's going to win via death by a thousand jabs. Artem is tough and willing, but Paulie was world level elite with his hands, and Artem would lose to 16-year-old novice Golden Gloves kids in boxing.People forget about Paulie’s toughness, he went through hell against Cotto and Hatton and kept going. Paulie don’t tap because his face is broken. Past-his-primePaulie also outboxed Zab Judah and Broner pretty easily.

People,forget Artem and Conor have trained together for years
Conor bested Paulie in the ring although it was sparring in camp
Conor pushed Floyd to the limits
Artem should not be faced with anything he has not experienced before

You really believe all of that don’t you.

This
For what reason do you think it'll get cancelled? Meaning, are you thinking it's all bullshit, and the promoter is only doing it to get attention? Do you think Artem or Paulie is going to back out because they're soft? Or are you guys saying it's just too much fun, and we don't deserve nice things, so something will fall apart?
Paulie will make him look silly as fuck before stopping him with a barrage of shots.
When is this happening? What weight?
Real Muthaphuckkin G -When is this happening? What weight?
June 22, and I'm honestly not sure if BKFC uses boxing weight classes, or MMA...but Paulie's last 10 or so fights were at 147 and Artem is a 145er in MMA, so they're about the same size. Artem likely cuts a little more weight, but he's going to get fucking killed. Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't watch boxing. Paulie fought the best of the best boxers for years, and Artem isn't even a good striker compared to MMA guys.

Yes but Artem is a martial artist and will move in ways boxers are not used to moving

Accurate assessment in my opinion.
“There are levels” is the best description I’ve heard.
if you guys think Paulie is gonna smash him............. bare knuckle ? seriously
