    I just watched a preview advertising a bare knuckle boxing event. What's up with that? Can anybody shed any more light on the subject and is it something that people would like to see brought back. I think the current style of boxing is fine and I'm not that enthused about fighters getting bones and **** broke in their face. That kind of fighting will end the careers of a lot of good men and not only in boxing. Feedback.:bbb

    lol it wouldn't end their careers just go out on a saturday night and you can see bare knuckle fighting for free
     

  3. They tend to break their hands before they break bones in their face. There's always been bare knuckle fights, the gypo's pretty much pride themselves on the ****.

    Quality is absolutely gash more often than not, and incredibly boring to watch.

    I once watched "Gentleman" Jim Corbett fight an Eskimo fellow bare-knuckled for a hundred and thirteen rounds! Of course, back then, if a fight lasted less than fifty rounds, we demanded our nickel back.

    Whatever rocks your boat I guess. Don't know anything bout it cept it being illegal pretty much everywhere, and from the few ropey clips I've seen boring as......zzzzZZZ...mm..mmmn. Anyhows not as exciting as you'd think anyway, lest you're thinking of going live (in the ring or out) in which case your life could suddenly become a whole lot more exciting than you'd planned in a variety of ways.

    It never really went away. It's just been underground in various countries for the last century-plus. Great Britain had a famous bareknuckle heavyweight champion in the 70's & 80's; he was also in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. More recently Bobby Gunn - a mere journeyman in conventional licensed pro boxing stopped by Adamek, Maccarinelli and fat old Toney - became the first 'official' bareknuckle heavyweight champion since John L. Sullivan, supposedly picking up the lineage and claiming the 122-years vacant title. :dead

    There was a bare knuckle HW fight that was being advertised pretty big about a year ago. I forget who it was, some HW journeyman who you'd recognize. I believe it took place in New Mexico or Arizona...
