Look at MMA where knees,feet & elbows aren't padded, it's still massively popular.
Two consenting adults choosing to fight bare Knuckle is their choice.
If people don't like it then don't watch it.
I would think the stats of those injured in pro boxing is due to careers that have quite a few fights. From what little I know- in this current era of new BK fights, they haven't surpassed 10 pro fights let alone a record of 60, 70 or 80 fights.

I would think that is why we know gloved boxing produces more brain injuries.


Someone like a Prime Vitali Klitschko would more than likely have several deaths resulting from his ability to punch accurate, hard and bare-knuckled.'


Imagine that shot Lennox Lewis landed against Rahman II with bare knuckled?


I do agree that we who dislike it have the right to not just watch it. Just an opinion- it is turning back the clock. We don't have all the info of how many injuries were sustained. Guys back in the day like Jem Mace seems to have defied the odds and fought years- apparently without any major injuries. But given some of those fights went on for hour or more, I'd doubt they learned how to turn their punches over like pugilists of the last century.

If I were to watch a bareknuckle fight, I wouldn't pay to see it as I can just hang around a bar at closing or a school yard to see eye sockets broken with a wild haymaker.
