Here is what the press conference participants had to say Monday:

Paulie Malignaggi

“I’ve always been known as one of the toughest guys in boxing. Lobov is known as a punching bag with a loud mouth.

“If I had it my way, I’d knock him out in the last round. I want to pummel him from start to finish. He’s going to come out trying hard, and then he’s going to get gun shy. He’s going to hesitate to even take a step.

“I’m always looking for my next challenge. I wasn’t planning on this, but it was sold to me, and it appealed to me. Artem is a punching bag and I usually hit that for free.

“I never lie, because I don’t have to fear anyone. You only lie because you’re afraid. Why are Lobov and his team lying? Ja saps per què. I don’t care what they think. I’m going to put this guy out next month.

“As I train, I realize that my hands are like razor blades. Get a good look at Lobov’s face, because next month I’m going to make it look like a road map with lines all over it.”

ARTEM LOBOV

“I feel I have the upper hand in this fight. With age, it’s easier to get knocked out. He’s never hurt anybody in the ring, so it’s going to be a bad matchup for him.

“I see me stopping him. He doesn’t want it anymore. In order to be a fighter and really compete, you have to have the fire. His fire is long gone.

“My strategy is to come in there and shove my fist down his throat. It’s personal now with the way he’s been talking and acting. I’m going to put him away.

“Paulie likes to hide behind the jab and feint. He never lets his hands go. He just hides and tries to make it to the end of the fight.

“I’m going to let it all go in that ring on June 22. I’m going to be the ‘Russian Hammer’ from the start until the finish. I want to meet him in the ring and put him away like true warriors do.

“I never wrap my hands. Not when I spar, not when I hit the bag or anything. It’s made them tougher. They may not look pretty, but they do a lot of damage.

“It’s game over for Paulie. I heard he’s known as the ‘Magic Man’, but I just hope he doesn’t disappear before the fight.”

LA VIDA DE CRIS

“Bare knuckle is definitely an exciting sport. It’s all of the good stuff. Two guys going toe-to-toe. It’s what I do best and it puts me in a dangerous position to hurt my opponents. When I first saw BKFC I felt like this sport was made for me.

“You can’t really cover up without the glove as a shield in bare knuckle, so it changes how you defend. But it also changes how you hit and where your range is at.

“I think this sport was made for me and it’s going to show in the fight. We’re both heavy hitters. Brennan will be my toughest BKFC opponent to date and I’m not taking him lightly. I’m riding a resurgence and it’s not going to stop.

“I’m pulling out all the stops and doing everything I can to prepare. Because on June 22, I’m knocking him out.”

BRENNAN WARD

“El camp d'entrenament ha anat genial. I’m really excited because I’ve been waiting to do a bare knuckle fight for a while. I knew right away that this was for me.

“I think I have a great skillset for bare knuckle. I’m quick and quick on my feet. I’m strong and have heavy hands. I’m able to brawl or box.

“It’s basically a normal training camp for me, but with more boxing than ever. I’ve always boxed a lot anyway, so it’s something that’s come natural for me.

“I’m a different fighter than who Leben has fought in BKFC. This sport is so well-suited for me. I just want to brawl. I wasn’t as into the other disciplines in MMA, so when BKFC came around, I was ready to sign on.

“I think I’m going to be a force to be reckoned with at BKFC. I’m going to find a nice home and do work in the ring.”

David Feldman, Fundador de BKFC & President

“This event is getting the kind of coverage it truly warrants. This is going to be a stacked pay-per-view event from top to bottom.

“The main event here is a highly anticipated battle. This is the biggest bare knuckle fight in history.

“We’re really happy with what we’ve been able to build. If you’ve seen any of our events, you know that it’s non-stop action from the start. We’re proud of what we’ve delivered to fight fans.

“People originally said that Artem had no chance against Paulie, but once they saw Artem in his first BKFC fight, fans can see that this might be tougher than anticipated. This is different than boxing and different than MMA. Getting hit with that bare knuckle is different than anything you’ve experienced before.

“I’m so excited to bring this fight to Florida and bring this fight to their fans. Juny 22 Viu en pagament per vista, this is one you surely do not want to miss.”

BRIAN RICCO, Productor Executiu & Distributor

“We’re very excited to be on our sixth BKFC show in less than a year. Everything has been amazing. We’re expecting a big fight between two great fighters and we’re looking forward to bringing this event to fight fans around the world.”

Malignaggi vs. Lobov will see the much-discussed rivalry between Malignaggi and MMA star Conor McGregor come to a head when Malignaggi squares off against one of McGregor’s teammates and friends in Lobov. Prior to Lobov’s BKFC debut in which he defeated Jason Knight in April, Malignaggi and Lobov exchanged words and nearly came to blows at a media day in New York. With the June 22 fight date set and buzz continuing to grow, they will soon settle the conflict in the ring.

“I’m very excited to make my BKFC debut and for this fight to take place in Florida. Bringing BKFC to another state is only going to help this sport grow faster and attract more attention to bare knuckle fighting,” va dir Malignaggi. “It’s no secret, Artem and I have some bad blood between us. I don’t like him and I’m looking forward to sinking my fists into his face. Juny 22 no pot arribar prou aviat. Fans are going to really enjoy this one as the biggest BKFC card yet, and it’ll set the stage for even bigger and better events as more fighters realize that they can make a good living and have a great career in this discipline of combat sports.”

“I’m really looking forward to this fight,” said Lobov. “Paulie has been doing a lot of talking. He hasn’t been able to keep his mouth shut, but on June 22 I’m going to silence him. He’s an old boxer who’s coming off of the couch. He’s only doing this because he didn’t manage his money better, so now he has to take a fight against me, ‘The Russian Hammer.’ I expect to maul Paulie in there. He doesn’t know what he’s in for. I’m going to introduce him to some things that he’s never seen before and this is going to be a real fight.”

A two-time, two-division boxing champion, Malignaggi joined BKFC earlier this year and plans to show off the skills that made him a world champion at 147 i 140 lliures. Representant la seva ciutat natal de Brooklyn, Nova York, Malignaggi faced top competition and big stars such as Miguel Cotto, Zab Judah, Ricky Hatton, Shawn Porter, Danny García, Amir Khan and more throughout a career that spanned sixteen years. He put on title-winning performances against Lovemore Ndou and Vyacheslav Senchenko while also defeating Judah, Juan Diaz and Pablo Cesar Cano amongst his notable wins. He has not fought since 2017, but remains a staple of the of the combat sports world through his renowned work as a color commentator and analyst.

A 32-year-old fighter from Russia, Lobov defeated Jason Knight by unanimous decision in an exciting brawl to make his BKFC debut successful in April. Lobov made his name on Season 22 de The Ultimate Fighter as part of Team McGregor, where he worked his way to the finals of the tournament before losing to Ryan Hall. Now fighting out of Ireland, where he continues to train with McGregor, he challenged Cub Swanson in a UFC main event in 2016, after picking up victories over Chris Avila and Alex White. While he lost his last three UFC bouts by decision, he owns 13 professional MMA wins.

No obstant això, Lobov quickly popped up and came back to knock down Knight later in the first frame, again in round two, and for a third time in round three. The fourth and fifth stanzas showcased furious exchanges with both fighters leaving every ounce of themselves in the ring.

“I thought he was conquered many times,” said Lobov. “I dropped him three or four times. És un dur, tough kid. He kept coming and coming. That was a great fight.”

“We all know that I didn’t lose that fight,” said Knight. “We all know that I got robbed. It’s alright, I’m still going to party tonight.”

The co-main event featured former UFC veteran La vida de Chris quickly overwhelming former Bellator standout Justin Baesman with a devastating left hand, followed by a series of uppercuts that stopped Baesman just :25 in to the light heavyweight contest.

Wind Christine scored a technical stoppage win over Gran Bretanya Hart for the Police Gazette American Women’s Featherweight Bare Knuckle Championship. Ferea had Hart in trouble midway through the second round as referee Dan Miragliotta called for time to have Hart’s severely bloodied and bruised left eye checked. The ringside physician stopped the contest moments later at 1:09 in to the second round.

“I’m the first woman to ever have this belt,” said Ferea. “I’m going to rep it strong and I’m super happy right now. The first round I was feeling (Hart) a fora. I was watching some of her footage and she can do it all. Així, I just felt out the first round, touching her with the jab. And then the second round that’s when I went in and let my power go.

“I would love (a fight against Bec Rawlings)!” added Ferea. “I’ve been asking for a fight with her for three fights. Crec que em mereixo.”

Former BKFC heavyweight title challenger Sam Shewmaker and former UFC veteran Chase Sherman fought to a split draw (50-45 Sherman, 48-47 Shewmaker, 48-48) in a crowd-pleasing heavyweight attraction that featured spirited exchanges all the way until the final bell of the fifth round.

One BKFC lightweight tournament semi-final matchup saw Reggie Barnett derrota Crowder Rusty per decisió unànime (50-44 X 3). An extremely evasive Crowder was deducted one point in the fourth round for throwing Barnett to the canvas as Barnett cruised to the victory by a wide margin.

After his win, Barnett said, “Everybody expected me and Bedford to be fighting in the championship. Johnny comes to fight. Vinc a lluitar. Així, you’re going to see nothing but fireworks and I personally think it’s a main event-caliber championship fight.”

In the other BKFC lightweight tournament semi-final contest Johnny Bedforddetingut Abdiel Velázquez :58 in to round four. Bedford scored two knockdowns in the second round, a third in the third frame and sent Velazquez to the canvas for the fourth and final time in round four, with Velazquez electing to not get back up and continue.

Before Barnett and Crowder fought, Bedford prophesied, “I anticipate I’m going to fight Reggie Barnett in the finals. I thought that from the beginning. I think Reggie knew that from the very beginning. And I think Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship knew that from the very beginning by putting us on opposite ends of the bracket. I think it doesn’t matter who you name the number one and number two seeds, we are the two top dogs in this division.”

With Barnett and Bedford winning their respective BKFC lightweight tournament semi-final bouts they will now face each other in the finals for a chance at BKFC’s first lightweight championship title.

En acció del respatller, former UFC fighter Isaac Vallie-Bandera scored a technical knockout victory over Randy Hedderick in a 165-pound showdown. Vallie-Flagg recorded two knockdowns in the third round and forced Hedderick to quit 1:22 in to round three due to an injured left hand.

The swing bout saw Gulfport police officer Harris Stephenson derrota Khalib Harris per decisió dividida (50-47 Stephenson, 48-47 Harris, 49-46 Stephenson).

Això és el que van dir els lluitadors dimarts des de Mendez Boxing a Manhattan:

Paulie Malignaggi

“Sense faltar el respecte a Jason Knight, perquè dissabte veurem què passa, però crec que tothom aquí voldria veure Malignaggi vs. Lobov. Veig que va agafant força i els aficionats en general en parlen.

“Quan tinc Lobov al ring, l'objectiu no és només guanyar. Realment he de destacar i mostrar alguna cosa més. L'objectiu seria fer-li molt mal.

“Estar al gimnàs cada dia m'emociona. D'aquesta manera, Em sento renéixer mentalment. Estic segur que hi haurà dies difícils, però això és normal per al curs. Crec que mentalment pots trobar la motivació que t'estimuli a perseguir determinats objectius.

“Vaig començar a parlar amb David Feldman primer sobre estar involucrat en l'aspecte de la transmissió de BKFC. Però després em va llançar números per lluitar que em van cridar l'atenció. Un cop superem la primera part de la conversa, les coses van començar a avançar i aquí estem.

“Sempre hi ha ajustos a fer en una nova disciplina pel que fa a com llançaràs i rebràs cops de puny.. Farem petits ajustaments, però la teva base és la teva base. La meva base és la boxa i ens quedarem amb les coses que volem.

“He vist algunes de les baralles d'artillets nus i hi ha algunes diferències fonamentals. Hi ha algunes coses que els boxejadors poden aprofitar. Però també hi ha alguns aspectes als quals els boxejadors potser no estan acostumats amb els artells nus.”

ARTEM LOBOV

“Sóc un lluitador real i lluitaré contra Paulie en una lluita real. Vull guanyar diners per això. Ell sap que estic avall. Si ets un veritable lluitador, lluitem al ring.

“Siguem sincers, Paulie no vol barallar-se amb mi al carrer, perquè sap que el trencaria en segons. Però vull demostrar-me a mi mateix al ring de boxa. Per això estic fent això. Vull que Paulie estigui a salvo fins el dia que per fi pugui posar-li les mans a sobre.

“Aquesta és l'única oportunitat que té per posar-me un tret. Quan ens posem a lluitar, no em posarà la mà, Ho garanteixo.

“Estic aquí per lluitar dissabte a la nit. Sóc un veritable lluitador. Ningú no em farà renunciar mai. No m'importa res del que em pugui fer la Paulie.

“Paulie sempre va ser la lluita que volia. És "nit de nit".’ per a Jason Knight aquest dissabte, després passa a Paulie. Aquesta és l'única lluita que vull. Es mereix que li facin una bufetada.

“Jason Knight va ser un dels millors lluitadors de la UFC en un moment donat. És un rival molt dur, però la seva força era barrejar disciplines. Només em boxeja, ell no té cap oportunitat.

“M'encanta l'entrenament amb els artells nus. Aquest és el meu joc. M'encanta la lluita de peu. El meu enfocament és que si vols ser un bon boxejador, has de boxejar molt. Vaig anar a tots els millors gimnasos d'Irlanda i vaig tenir un gran sparring.”
