Must Love MMA spoke with boxing promoter Lou DiBella during the NYC Press Conference to promote Shields VS Habazin on Showtime, to get his take on bare-knuckle boxing. Lou told us his opinion on the sport and its popularity, and why some MMA fighters and pro boxers are flocking to it, as well as his thoughts on the safety of it and using ungloved hands VS boxing gloves. He also let us know what he thought about Paulie Malignaggi’s bare knuckle debut and if he should fight again.
