Is he the only real boxer to sign with them? I remember BKB hosted some pretty solid names: Rosado, Vera, Soto Karass, and Granados, off the top of my head. I think Rosado was probably their biggest name.

Bare knuckle, you don't have to hit hard to do real damage, you just have to be accurate and have technique. I honestly can see Paulie doing a bit of damage, but it's also stupid, because he's just going to fuck up his hands, and risk taking a shot that could do real damage to his health.

Bare knuckle just isn't clever, and I don't get why people do it.

Yeah, but the other guy's gonna' be punching BACK, and Paulie isn't young & fast any longer. He had brilliant defensive moves in this prime, but in his last six or so fights he got tagged a TON. A completely different fighter. - And his last bout was 2 years ago.

This is just stupid.

It's not stupid. Some of you need to get over it.

He won two meaningful titles and defended in different weight classes. Held his own with younger future champs and top WWs for years. It's time a handful of you shut the fuck up, sit back, and wait for the most decorated champion to compete in Bare Knuckle Boxing. What Boxing use to be is coming back so the former champ deserves our support. If he gets knocked out or TKO'd I'm not going to feel as bad this time he's out there testing himself and the waters in Bare Knuckle. God bless him this is a big deal. Since the sport came back it is only natural we see people from different backgrounds compete.

Not something I'd do, but he'd of weighed up the offer against perceived threat - what's the talent pool like? And decided it was worthwhile.

I don't think age play into it much some may think as not gonna be throwing as many shots, or power side as can't load up too much. Think Paulie do alright.

Any of you watch this stuff? It's on YouTube. I saw on YouTube that Chris Leben, who I think is one of the champions, will be joining BKFC. Anyways, the fights were a bit more lackluster than I imagined. Fat dude got cut fast as hell and started bleeding everywhere. The match ended really quick after that.

I saw one of Chris Leben's fights, and the guy literally thought it was a fucking wrestling match. It was very bizarre. The knockout was pretty good, though.
