Bare knuckle boxing is safer than boxing with gloves.

This has been proven correct with the boxing vs mma debate too. More deaths occur in boxing. Getting knocked out by 1 punch isn't the type of blows that kill fighters. Sustained beat downs are what cause those or rabbit punches. A fight like Gatti vs Ward will cause much more damage than Wilder vs Breazeale to the brain. Yes bare fists cause more damage to the skin, but gloves cause more damage to the brain. On top of that more power can be thrown with gloves.

Knuckles cut faces up.

this is nonsense. just look at Paulie's face. barely got hit flush yet was leaking like a faucet with a nasty gash. bare knuckles are like sharpened rocks. gloves are safer. take a look at the wild punches Maidana was swinging vs Floyd in their first fight. if that was bare knuckle Floyd would've been drenched in blood.

If it was safer they would not have outlawed it well over 100 years ago. A bare fist is much harder and does more damage. Perception. A barefist hits harder but you will not hit as hard with your bare fist. If someone asked you to punch a brick wall with or without a boxing glove on which one would you swing harder with? A bareknuckle boxer is pretty much physically incapable of punching as hard unless he wants his fist shattering after the first shot. It looks bloodier because of the superficial facial cuts but I guarantee you AJ in his loss to Ruiz with those concussion hits took more long lasting damage than Paulie, despite AJ still looking pretty on the outside after the fight.

It’s a good idea if you want to break your hands and disfigure your face each time you fight

Boxing is the best sport, though the referees and judges try their hardest to make it the worst. Paulie vs Conor has to happen though, in boxing of course. If Paulie is as easy as Conor says he is then it should be a very easy payday for him and great for the fans, lots of trash talk.

I'm failing to follow your logic. It sounds, to me, like you're saying 'basketball would be a better sporting if the rim were bigger'.
