Artem Lobov and Paulie Malignaggi go all 5 rounds. They hug it out at the end.
If I was scoring this fight, I'd give it to Artem Lobov 3-2#BKFC6

Paulie Malignaggi, whose face is all sliced up, thinks he really only got hit with one clean punch all night. The rest must have been him sticking his head in a ceiling fan.

I can’t stand the man, but Paulie Malignaggi was right on the money with his comments about MMA fans being cartoonish and somewhat reminiscent of pro wrestling fans. #BKFC6

Malignaggi says there was maybe one clean shot that hit him all night. He feels he out-boxed Lobov. He mentions that he may have broken his right hand #BKFC6
