It sounds hardcore and extreme, but the fact of the matter is9and thisis coming from an irishman,wheres its quite popular amongst the travellers), is that it tends to be incredibly boring! The reason gloves were brought in was to make it so that there was more punches. With no gloves, guys dont want to throw as many punches.
Back to the days of John L. Sullivan... They say these guys are the 'real men' of boxing history, but I know better. John for an instance liked to lick men in bars :blood
the reason its boring is because the fighters arent on the level of pro boxers, or people who train all the time.
If they are trying to capture to aura of prizefighters of the bare knuckle era they should probably start by not throwing the word 'world' around like it means nothing. I also can't help but notice they are wearing wraps, that's not bare knuckle.
interesting, i remember watching something on youtube on a former Gypsy bareknuckle champ Gormley?? (not to sure on the name)
