Told ya folks. Bareknuckle fighting and pro boxing aren't the same deal. MMA will prepare a fighter better for bareknuckle than pro boxing. Paulie didn't know how to be in there.

And he says he didnt want to tarnish his rep from boxing coming to this sport... after the lead up of him spiting on Artem, blaming the Florida judges.., when he slapped Artem... the list goes on.

Length of rounds and match. But I get the feeling u mean something else I'm not seeing.
Probably something you've said before I'm not remembering.
Edit: I felt Paulie's boxing background and skill point fighting would be too fast for artem all night. Clearly not.

Artem Lobov just killed Boxing
They say Boxing is dead, murdered in warm blood in just generation by its hyrbid mutant cousin, MMA
Some say its just getting started
CNN - "This just in! CEO Scott Cokey has been arrested by Bay Area police on suspicion of a connection to the armed kidnapping attempt of half of the Arizona State collegiate wrestling team. Longtime critics of Cokey ( Dana Mansplain ) allege he has also hidden dark past of being in involved in the notorious "prison training camps" scandal in China, where owners had twisted hopes to "grind out stars" for high level MMA competition."

Paulie was never going to be able to 'box' lobov the way he did his opponents in pro boxing. It's impossible. Cannot be done. Even when Artem gave him the space to do it, he couldn't do it, because he was hurting his hands too much.
You put a pro boxer ( ESPECIALLY a point fighter, there were no point fighters as we know them before foam gloves) who has trained and competed their whole life in a bigger ring, with nice flexy ropes, and nice padded gloves they can catch a lot of shots on with the backs of their hands in a little circle with stiff ropes and no gloves, different clinch rules, and the whole deal is going to feel alien to them. Even the damage they take is going to throw them off. Boxers as a general rule aren't accustomed to getting cut, sc****d, gouged and split. If a pro boxer experiences something like this, their instinct will be to become tentative, because in pro boxing it means, 99% of the time, they been hit with something unusually nasty. An MMA fighter who is much more accustomed to this type of damage is gonna kind of shrug it off. This is compounded by the fact that MMA is five rounds max and Boxing is twelve.
It's a different type of damage. I've never trained nor sparred nor competed in MMA gloves, but I have had my bell rung in boxing gloves a number of times and I have no doubt getting hit with an MMA glove vs a boxing glove feels different and requires a different type of training/ psychology to deal with. You know, getting hit in foam gloves hard isn't so much painful as it is something else. When I was kid, I got pulsed by an electric fence. The two are quite similar. You have this kind of moment of blankness, a 'frozen' sensation and instant,rapidly sort of weakness all over your body. But it doesn't hurt in the way falling off your bike and ripping your skin up does. I imagine getting cut in an MMA fight feels something more like that.
Really, the type of cut Paulie had is only going to occur in pro boxing as a result of a head clash. Sometimes they do happen by strikes, but it's incredibly rare.
Now, all that said: If you put malinaggi in a pro boxing match with Lobov, Paulie would smoke him, in all probability, because it goes both ways. Pro boxing is most of the time about drowning your opponent slowly. It's about accumulated brain trauma over lots of rounds, and it is an horrifically unhealthy martial art because of this.
Some pro boxers would transition to bareknuckle better than others. Ruiz Jr, who just smoked Joshua would probably destroy the entire roster on a single night, because his style is perfect for it; he gets up in the grill and just straight up relentlessly smashes face. Bareknuckle is a dirty boxer's game. Doesn't try and box, just outgrits, outworks, and outgrinds. He'd be a bareknuckle monster. Unfortunately, he's never gonna slum it for peanuts in Bareknuckle. Basically, the long and short of it is, the classier a pro boxer is, the less well they are going to do in bareknuckle fighting. And paulie IS a classy boxer, but there's no room for classy boxing in bareknuckle fighting.
