This content is protected This content is protected Will Cribb's bareknuckle punching abilities and experience in takedowns negate Shamrock's offense, or is Shamrock's Pancrase experience too much for the bareknuckle champion of England? (early 19th century--5'10", 195 lbs.) For those unfamiliar with Cribb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Cribb http://www.ibhof.com/cribb.htm
I would have to think that Shamrock gets a leglock, he was extremely crafty with them, and setting it up with an Imanari type baseball slide wouldn't be out of the question. Although Cribb was quite the animal, and would hold his own if things went right for him.
I think Shamrock would win. He would put Cribb in submissons and Cribb would not have a clue what was going on before it was too late to save himself.
