This old tradition with Bareknuckle Boxing Fights, that has existed
since boxing started as an entertainment, has continued outside professional
boxing with gloves, with sadly many deadly outcomes. This is a problem as
safety is not an issue, and with gloves the odds are sky high to create brain
damage from the blows to the head and end up with “Dementia pugilistica” that is a
serious problem since it has horrible consequences.
Fighting bareknuckle
is very different for fighting with gloves, my first martial art was Kyokushin Karate,
where I used to fight 3-4 times every week with various training partners
besides regular training, competed in
tournaments and my biggest victory was the first big open European tournament
in Denmark, with 10’000 spectators and the best fighters in Europe, were
besides winning my weight class and had 4 fights that day to win the final, I
also did win the trophy for best technical fighter for the best KO in the
tournament, getting that was a mind blowing experience for me, since my
favourite European fighter from Sweden competed at that tournament and used to
win that trophy, he could kick an KO an opponent with a head kick even if he
was in a clinch due to his extreme mobility, he was a natural born fighter that
ended with being excluded due to a fight in a bar where he KO 35 people.
