I’m a bit shocked at this as I thought you would have genuinely been the first to sign up from here . 

I’ve been to see a few and I have you’ve honest , at the club level type event of boxing equivalent it’s semi tragic and half of them have barely a brain cell between them . 

i genuinely dislike criticising anyone’s efforts in anything , but at the very entry level , it’s absolute morons entering 
 

 

It's atrocious, makes white collar look like the Olympics. With a ring so small and using hay bales it just becomes a joke, all they do is lean over the bales and the other fighter can't do anything. As for the better organizations, definitely a step up but Dutch is right, it's for lads that can't cut it at the higher level, I mean why get your face split open to feck by fighting bare knuckle when you can earn more wearing gloves?

I didn't notice any pickpockets or purse snatchers but it was a big crowd.

There is a very very famous bare knuckle champion boxer over here, he is a YouTube legend and a sensation. The legendary Brett May !! 

I’m not knocking any of them, Danny Christie etc look pretty handy and if they want to do it, it’s up to them. I just don’t get it.

I tried making the transition from kickboxing to boxing and couldn’t do it, so I know how hard it is and appreciate the skill involved, but bare knuckle never crossed my mind. The variance in skill between these guys and a boxer is massive. Without sounding disrespectful, think a crazy golf champion v Tiger Woods. 

Part of me thinks it stems from all these “villain books and podcasts”

It's the Sunday league version of boxing isn't it with backward rules. I mean what's with the counts, I've seen em counting to 30 or something in the bales, so, if it's just a case of take a knee until you're ready to go then what's the point of counting in the first place?  I've just read the rules on BKFC, it's an 18 count, why that I don't know lol.

Dyson is a tank,but lacks technocal ability with the gloves on,but he can rattle with bare knuckles steve

Dysons driven by steroids , he's certainly handy but not in christie's league 

Most of them fighting wouldnt get a boxing liscence or pass a drugs test to be honest 

6oz gloves would be better than bare knuckle , plus better medical care at the ring side

To say it's bums fighting is wrong really it's a completely different type a fighting .

Walking with someone out the way and it's no rules takes alot more then putting on gloves and a ref stood there lol

That's basically street fighting, bare knuckle still has rules, even the shite hay bale stuff.

Yeah, one of the few decent bare knuckle scraps I've seen. But that was just a straightener in a barn. As I said, the hay bale stuff is shite, lads falling to the ground after nothing, and then when they want out they just lay over the bales lol.

My great grandfather was a bare knuckle fighter "Nathaniel Smith"natty " its said he killed someone so he changed his name to Davies ,of course this was many years ago.

I think if two men have a problem it's best to have a straightener and shake hands .

So bare knuckle fighting is bum fighting?

In a ring you have a ref , doctors, trainers and list goes on ,

Bk you have nothing other than the people that arrange the fight and those coming to see it ,if a man goes down he's allowed to get up and once one says he's had enough that's fight finished,they is no rounds and fights can go on for lot longer than any boxing bouts with rules .

It all stems from the internet......once the Gyppo's saw their was a couple of quid to be made from selling video's of their normal everyday stand ups other people have jumped in and now theres become a little cult following of odd little no marks fascinated by watching 2 every day low level fighters have back and forth arguments resulting in a fight......we used to be having straighteners for money every other week to settle differences nobody ever thought to film it as nobody thought anybody else gave a flying bollock !!....its a strange world we now live in.
