Get ready for a thrilling bareknuckle battle! Paulie Malignaggi, the seasoned fighter, emerges victorious in a split decision against Tyler Goodjohn.
In a highly anticipated match, Malignaggi, despite his age and a break from official fights, showcased his skills in a unique gloveless combat style. The battle, held in Leeds, UK, saw Malignaggi's superior footwork and precise punching technique prevail over Goodjohn's aggressive swings.
But here's where it gets controversial... While Goodjohn, with his powerful strikes, managed to stagger Malignaggi at times, it was the latter's calculated approach and accuracy that impressed the officials. The decision was a close call, with scores of 48-47 (twice) and 47-48 in favor of Malignaggi.
Malignaggi, a former junior welterweight champion, has had an impressive career spanning 15 years with a record of 36-8 (7 KOs). After retiring from traditional boxing, he ventured into bareknuckle boxing, experiencing both wins and losses.
And this is the part most people miss... Malignaggi's journey post-retirement has been intriguing. From sparring with MMA fighter Conor McGregor to his first bareknuckle attempt, he continues to make his mark in the world of combat sports.
