    Default First sanctioned bareknuckle fight in the U.S. since 1889

    It's taking place tonight, at a casino in Arizona. Cool article on ESPN if you want to read it. It's also online for free if you want to watch at ustream.tv

    I am predictable huh?

    This is VERY cool. It really is a different sport though. Very tough to throw hooks or uppercuts without breaking one's hands and the goal really has to be to bust the other man up with cuts.

    I saw that. Absolutely ridicilious and disgraceful to call Bobby Gunn the new bare knuckle champion in the same vain as John L. Sullivan.

    Gunn is no doubt a tough guy and a decent boxer, but he beat a guy who was 14-9 coming off 4 or 5 straight losses.

    If these two had boxed no one would have cared, so instead they took off the gloves and suddenly its a circus.

    Its not real bareknuckle though with those netted wraps so Sullivan remains that last true bareknuckle champ winning a 76 or 77 round fight depending on ones sources with Jake Kilrain. After that, Marquis of Queensberry kicked in.
