He’s been sparring Danny Christie in Bolton yesterday.

Who is that?

Bare-knuckle fighter.

He’s been praising him lol

My mate does, too. Pro boxer.

Danny Christie is a very tough guy and has decent boxing fundamentals. It’s always hard to gauge the quality of non-professional boxers but Christie is genuinely tough and super fit and so you’d imagine that he’d be giving Fury a “gut check” and workout in sparring so long as it isn’t too limited.

You can see videos on YouTube of Christie and Decca Heggie punching holes in themselves in a bare knuckle fight. Both badly beaten at the end. Faces disfigured.

At 37 now gone full-time pro. https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/2318 ... le-boxing/

Bare knuckle. Must be up there with slap-fighting. Awful barbaric stuff! Glad it doesn’t get a lot of coverage, despite no doubt gaining some momentum in recent years. Reflects fairly poorly on society as a whole currently.

Why? Apart from gloves, what’s the difference?

Bare knuckle guy, was a decent amateur, but of a YouTuber after a fight with Decca Heggie.

Bareknuckle is safer for your brain than gloved

With bareknuckle you are more likely to get cut to bits, but as for internal damage there isn't as much damage done as the surface area a wrapped and gloved hand can do, a gloved fist sends more of a vibration and a rattle through your head and down your spinal cord that a bare handed shot does, a bare handed shot is more of a clout that stops where it lands, whereas a boxing glove wobbles the head and travels

Why you think head guards were banned in the ams for some, because bar stopping cuts they don't do f**k all for your head, they are worse again because its even more of a surface area for your opponent to tee off on

Barehanded one good shot might put someone out of it, gloved they might take more of a prolonged beating

Why is it barbaric? What sort of sicko enjoys watching two men cut each others' face to ribbons? Maybe they could just slash at each other with straight razors? Even less chance of brain damage there.

People hold gloved boxing in the same way when it comes to being a barbaric throwback sport

Well it is a bit, but come on unless the world goes full Squid Games, all facial damage in bare knuckle is too much for the mainstream.

[Glass Joe]

Going to be extremely busy down the river for this one, i dont think the younger generation pays for PPV these days

[maverick23]

Apparently 300k subbed to DAZN and bought the last KSI PPV.

Wow!
Didn’t know that. Gawd DAZN is going to be rife with this sh*t from now on

[leejonesjnr]

Why you think head guards were banned

Head guards were dropped from the ams 100% to try to make a product that was more attractive to sell to TV companies

so i guess this is like the ultimate death match then, with big gloves and headgear

Dunno, I've seen the fight being talked about above and it's pretty brutal, I I wouldn't want to be on the end of those licks.

Course you'll get some more brutal than others

I'm not claiming to know more than medical science either but what I said up top is how most of these firms got over the line legal wise, someone put money up to look right into it, and that's what they found

Couple that with a bit of life experience and I agree, gloved whacks rock you more than un gloved

Either way, holding a shot to the head isn't good for you long term anyway, gloved or not, but if people want to fight, let them

Lyndon Arthurs says Tommy has hit him harder than anyone in his life.

[KiwiRider]

Lyndon Arthurs says Tommy has hit him harder than anyone in his life.

And yet his record shows going the distance with guys who have been stopped before.
https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/854141
Doesn’t strike me as a brutal KO artist, I've only seen two of his fights which he did stop both guys. And he was really trying to stop them, not go rounds.
Maybe Lyndon is on the Fury payroll like the pig farmer, hope Lyndon actually gets his money though.

[Nightmare Roy]

Lyndon Arthurs says Tommy has hit him harder than anyone in his life.

Let's say he does win and sparks Paul and gets over £2m for his troubles, do you think he will go back to proper boxing? I cant imagine someone who has earned that fighting for let's say a British title for maybe £20k.

[Black Sam Bellamy]

Are there any conditions around this ? I'm terms of knockouts and head shots being off the menu ? If not, I favour Fury strongly. The betting is astounding IMO.
