bareknuckle vs gloves.

[BOXER_SQUIRELL]

im curious what boxing is like with out gloves, ive heard its safer to not use gloves because the extra weight helps you get concussions. i know that bare knuckle boxing gives you more visible wounds, but id prefer a swole up lip to that weird head ache/dizziness that i get after taking 50 punches to the head.
Im just wondering if you guys have any experience with this, or any opinions on the matter.

The theory is that with gloves you will sustain much more damage through fights and careers because the padding allows you to possibly remain standing, albit dazed and out of it where as with a fist you would probably have gone down and possibly out................Rockin'

I wonder what happen to your hands when you fight without gloves for an entire career

back in the bare knuckle times they would not hit to the head/face much because of the damage that it caused to the hands. They focused alot more to the body then they do today.

Hands are the most fragile bones in your body.............Rockin'

The gloves in MMA are there almost entirely to protect you hands because you hands are so frail.

yeah, im sure your hands would get ***ed if you boxed like that for even a few consecutive fights let alone a whole career.....but what about if you use, like, double wraps or something.
