Morning Report: Paulie Malignaggi releases statement, shows brutal photos of his hands following loss to Artem Lobov

On Saturday night at Bare Knuckle FC 6, Paulie Malignaggi finally got to settle his beef with Conor McGregor when he stepped into the ring with McGregor’s proxy, Artem Lobov. Unfortunately for Malignaggi, things didn’t go his way, losing a unanimous decision to the former MMA fighter in a competitive bout. It was a decision Malginaggi was openly critical of, believing himself to have convincingly won the fight. But perhaps even worse for Malignaggi is the damage inflicted on his hands by the bout.

Yesterday, the former world champion boxer took to Instagram where he made a statement about the fight and revealed the damage suffered by both of his hands.
