You still gain that respect for one another, nonetheless. And I think we have that.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5EnzkH\">\u201cI still don\u2019t agree with everything that he did, but I\u2019m sure people aren\u2019t going to agree with the way I responded to everything too. So respect to Artem. He\u2019s got a newborn baby, so he\u2019s probably going to benefit from this and do well for himself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>How did you score the BKFC 6 fight between Paulie Malignaggi and Artem Lobov?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 6\/23\/2019. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday night, in the main event of BKFC 6, Paulie Malignaggi and Artem Lobov finally stepped into the ring together to settle one of the most high-profile beefs in combat sports.
