What was the BKB crap?

[El-blanco]

Definitely a fad. It won't take too long before they begin to realize that you can't force KOs. From my understanding this is the same BKB promotion that started out as "bare knuckle boxing" where they removed a section of the gloves to allow for the knuckles to be exposed. It's been one gimmick after another.

The root of this is that many boxing fans are becoming disillusioned with the sport as a whole. So people hear this and assume the answer is to "bring it into the new millennium" or update the style and feel to be more reminiscent of a UFC event. But boxing fans aren't bored with the sport of boxing, they are bored with poor judging, elite fighters engaged in contract disputes rather than boxing matches, and an over saturation of governing bodies and promotions each trying to sell their piece of the pie as the only slice worth caring about.

Boxing fans don't want the rules between the ropes to change, we want everything outside of the ring to change. This is a well funded venture, so it's going to last for a while, and maybe even carve out a small niche market, but I'd be surprised if they made it much past 10 events.

Good post. Even more than bad judging, I'm just sick of guys not fighting each other. If you lose, and it's close, fight again. Fans love good rematches. Promoters have ****ed this sport up by protecting fighters and trying to save them from losing. Every single promoter is guilty of this, which is why I'm baffled by guys sticking up and championing promoters. They're screwing us over.

A fad. The top names won't be interested. It looks like a video game anyway.

i agree

It reminded me of MMA without the cage .... Wasn't bad though.

What I would change is 1.) Make the circle circumference\pit larger 2.) Lower the perimeter wall 3.) Change the yellow color to something less pronounced.

It has potential .... But boxing is the "squared-circle" and shouldn't change.

i cant see the potential

Trash...PURE TRASH! I tried with this events twice now and I am literally laughing at it like "UH OK" Vera vs Rosado and Rosado vs Stevens would have been the exact same way in the Boxing Ring

It is Useless to be honest! Great Alternative for those that can't win big fights in boxing I guess

These are Boxing Undercard Fights being sold as Mainevents in a Pit. You can't call yourself "Big Knockout Boxing" and nobody Deliver Knockouts and no fighter is going to just let themselves get knocked out for entertainment value

lol thats the problem, both fights were average at best and there werent any KOs.

I can't believe this is being sold as a PPV

[hhs661]

I didn't pay it any attention. I rather watch bloodsport

[toyboy33]

Serious question...what was that? A circle, no rope, much smaller than an average ring, ****ty fights lol It seemed like a ****ty futuristic satire on what sports will look like in a 100 years. It looked like The Running man ffs.

That was horrible.

I thought it looked like live action anime. Its a show for kids or men who ********** to big tittied anime chicks.

lol B-Suth shoulda headlined that sht.. with the wall of fire.. imagine that.





FLAMING MULLET!!!!

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

jump into the moat! oh sht! SHARKS!!!!!

Now that...I would pay anything for. Anything. I'd sell my f**king soul for that ****.

[Dr Rumack]

On a serious note, Curtis Stevens really needs a trainer who can give him some confidence. He looks nervous and tight every time he's in the ring and he was the same last night.

[Weebler I]

Screw a moat, they should have a friggin WALL OF FIRE outside the circle!

..and a moat outside the wall of fire with sharks with friggin laser beams n all that good stuff!

alternatively a tilting circle with spikes and a huge drop to the centre of the earth




I don't really think anyone would miss Rosado or Stevens would they?

Rosado isn't even a fighter built for BKB in my opinion. He isn't a slugger at heart.

This fight likely would of been better in a boxing ring. They were just getting warmed up in there.

I would suggest some Street Fighter locations for these bouts...but this video has explained to me why many of them are improbable.

I enjoyed the card, even though i didn't know all the fighters, it was cool to see Estrada, sotokarass, stevens rosado all competing...
