Originally published at: Rolando Dy Crushes Paulie Malignaggi In Two Rounds To Retain Bare Knuckle Title
Former two-weight world boxing champion Paulie Malignaggi’s bare knuckle comeback ended in brutal fashion as Rolando Dy stopped him in the second round to retain the BKB Super Welterweight title in Manchester. Malignaggi received a warm reception on the way to the ring, walking out to “Blue Moon” alongside Campbell Hatton in a classy hometown…
Damn wanted Paulie to win this and retire happy.
Only a matter of time before Paulie humiliated himself with this savagery. Traditional boxing has gloves, and softens the blows… which means the guys who don’t have power can use skill and move out of the way and absorb punches. The gloves is what makes it an art form to a great extent. But with bare knuckles, all it takes is a power puncher to get someone out of there on either cuts or sheer concussive brutality… No one was scared of Paulie’s power and hence, you can walk through him on any given fight just to land 2 or 3 of your heavy blows.
