Comments Thread For: Nico Hernandez To Make Bare Knuckle Fighting Debut, March 14

[famicommander]

Is there really going to be more competition at flyweight in bare knuckle? Why not just try to make a name internationally or in Japan or something?

They're likely going to pay him more money to fight lesser competition in shorter fights.

Taking these fights doesn't mean he has to be done with traditional boxing forever, either.

He's young, he has time to figure it out.

Can't imagine there will be. They are still in the US where lil mfers aren't in abundance like other countries.

And yea I've considered your theory to about just going to another country to fight. Believe some smaller weight fighters have done this to some success in the past. I imagine for most cats its just seen as a bridge to far since you gotta ditch your team & basically start over in a new less known area which many aren't gonna be a fan of doing.



No he didn't. The fight was close.

The thing most boxing people don't get with scoring outside of boxing in the combat sport genre is defense isn't rewarded & aggression, not necessary even effective aggression, is rewarded. And to me thats why Paulie lost the fight.

Paulie threw zero punches in the last round of a 3-2 fight.

He disgraced his whole sport.

He fought so scared. It looked like the Adrenaline zapped him by the final rd.

Yea I love the way you guys over in UK get those long "holidays". With my small business its 24/7 365 except when I want to pay someone to cover me, and then I have to pay to train them. My last "back up" just retired and is wintering in Florida right now lol. Looking forward to seeing Boots Ennis finally getting a little step up fight tonight. I think if this kid has the dedication and at least a decent chin he will be a future PFP player. Have you had a chance to check him out? If so what you think of the kid?

I think Ennis has all the tools to become a top fighter. I think 2020 will be his breakout year. I expect him to blow through this Ebuyov though. I managed to catch one round of his last fight and he looked terrible tbh. Looks tiny for 147 also.

Don't forgot more dangerous fights doe. His chances of getting a career ending cut or just a bad cut that could impact him in future fights go up drastically. His chances of ruining or damaging his hands go up drastically. This isn't just free money to beat up no name mfers.

I assume he knows what he's doing & why he's doing it but this is a risk that could impact his success in boxing.

Also I found it odd he wants to fight MMA too. Idk what experience he has in combat sports besides boxing but that seems like a unnecessary risk too.
