Bare knuckle is freaking brutal. It takes a special type of crazy for that level of brutal. A retire boxer who seems lucky enough to escape with all his facilities intact I am pleased Brook is a few levels below that crazy.

It certainly can be and it is. We go every time it's here at Hard Rock and we love it. It's just condensed violence. Basically like a concentrated version of what you love about boxing and mma. It's not that I like seeing people get beaten to a pulp. I just honestly draw inspiration from how tough many of these guys and girls are. Certainly the superficial damage obviously often looks pretty terrible (and my fav fighter has broken his hands multiple times) and there are certainly easier ways to earn a living. But I'd also say your brain bouncing around in your skull doesn't know the difference if you have gloves on or not and you're probably taking even more punishment in that respect in boxing because the fights are so much longer... I just hope the guys get paid ok for what they go through. I know David Feldman pays double for instance for stuff like "fight of the night" or for particularly brutal back and forth type fights. Some pro boxers like Austin Trout have gone straight to the top. Others like James DeGale looked like they didn't want to be there and I doubt he'll do it again. Though it'll never happen I always wonder how guys like Canelo and GGG would fare in BKFC. I'd love see a well known boxing champion just do it for the hell of it and set **** on it's ear.

Man, that is the most honest posting on this subject I have ever seen....

he should have said it was a bare-knuckled lie
