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’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.
