how do you see his chin holding up against gloveless punches. Better?
I think the myth that bareknuckle punches are harder than a gloved punch needs to be addressed. If you get a soccer ball and kick it barefoot then kick it with a boot guess what, the kick with a boot is harder. Your mind knows your foot or hand is protected so you strike harder. If any of you box then just compare the force you get in bagwork with a glove on then throw barefist. Guaranteed you will generate more force with the glove. Forget about the asthetic damage on the face from bare fist.. That is just skin damage. A glove is also a larger surface area which equals more force.

Yes I hear that but also smaller surface area making it a more piercing blow potentially

Certainly more damage to the surface of the face, but knockout power no way. I remember the first time I sparred many moons ago now lol but I thought it would be ok after many street fights. It was just a completely different level of force. In fact I have never been put down in any street fights but have been put down in bouts and sparring.
