British Bare Knuckle Champ vs Pro Boxer (Bert Cooper)

never saw that before. he did disappoint, i expected more.

 

And Bert was shot to s&it when he destroyed Savage. Imagine what he would have done to him a few years earlier.

 

Cooper wasn't even punching hard.

 

Apparently he fainted after watching Tubbs and Bonecrusher Smith spar and went home .every town in Britain has someone like him supposed hard man ! .normally full of crap beer monsters.guys in the gym I go too would hammer him.

 

Was Savage even an actual proper bare knuckle boxer or a glorified doorman ( bouncer)
Me thinks the latter

 

this fella is No Champion of anything, except maybe some underground fight circuit, a small one at that...

I know a few lads past & present who would make short work of men like him.

as to Street Fighters/Hardmen, True Hardmen, of course there are plenty of legit men who could give many top boxers a good fight... but lets not forget that 'most', not all, but most Pro Fighters are Street Fighters too, so obviously the Fitter and more Fight Savvy Boxer should win, but not necessarily always.
