Default Bare knuckle boxing

Been wanting to go watch one for years now but I've never found anywhere that does it.

Have you been to one and what did you think of it?
If you know somewhere that does it in the Midlands let me know.

yea i'm quite interested in it to but as moses says its illigal so you need to be in the know. read Bartly gormans book king of the gypsys very good read. i even tried looking on kaaza in the past for videos but could'nt find out. theres a gypys lad that trains in the thi boxing gym i go to thats suppossed to be a knuckle man, he's supposed to go round the fair grounds, seems quite handy from what i seen.

Visit any British city centre on a Friday or Saturday night and you should see plenty.

something I just noticed about that vid that I missed before - clock the loser before, and just after he comes out to the front - there is no damage. either that vid is edited, or there is some footage missing.

just had a look in bartly gormans book and theres a photo of that fight it says he won £20k for that fight not bad for 7 mins work. it also says that jimmy quinn- mc Donagh is top man, i take it he means he's the best in ireland.

There was a thread about him a while back. He got beaten in the end by someone called Sean Gannon I think.

That was a different match I think. There has only been one Gannon vs Kimbo fight. The link to the whole video of the fight was on here I think. It was about 10 mins and fairly close too.

Cool thread -I thought we would get a load of folks complaining about how its a base an vile thing to do etct etc whinge whinge.

I would bet that there is far less brain damage in bare nuckle stuff as you cannot repeatedly give huge punches to the head before your hand or your opponents face falls apart.

More clips please.
