would like to see some quality younger fighters try their hand in it, still though not a bad start having a former title challenger and ranked boxer as the champ. i'm hyped to see how this progresses. Anyone ever read excerpts from Pierce Egans Boxania? Unreal stuff, amazing writing too, coined the sweet science and numerous other boxing terms. Favorite bareknuckle boxers: Daniel Mendoza (the scientific fighterb) Jem Mace Tom Cribb Jacob Hyer (godfather of american fighting) Tom Hyer Jack Broughton James Figg (the godfather)
Bobby Gunn has a fight December 1, and though there are talks about a fight with James Quinn, currently Team Gunn is in discussions with a few other top proscpects. 2012 is going to be a huge year for BKB!!!!
