It's also complete fiction. Gunn is not 73-0 and is sort of a Charlie Z bare knuckle guy. The lads here offer him a lot of money to come, Sweeney, Ferry, McCrory would wreck him. He is a laughing stock of the bare knuckle world.

Wasn’t the guy in Rocky V named Bobby Gunn?
I didn’t think he looked anything like Charlie Zee. Charlie Zee is a low intellect, low skill individual, whereas the guy in this video can obviously do a bit - altho I don’t share the optimism regarding getting on tele any time soon.
What do you mean by “the lads here offer him a lot of money to come?”...

Tommy Gunn is in Rocky. Bobby can box, he boxed Enzo for the WBO. I mean UBBAD, a very professional set up offer him big money. They fly Americans in all the time.

Yea been a few Americans on ubbad , Eric Olsen , joe Riggs, Danny batchelder, was meant to get guillard over as well but never happened .

I'd like to see ubbad on telly , and I respect gunn , he's got in there and fought but his bare knuckle talk is very exaggerated

..not a fan of bare knuckle boxing..watching this video though made me think how unrealistic and fake all these spy/action movies with their numerous orchestrated fight scenes are..

Oslen talks sh!t.

Jamie Hearn-Bang Bang Hawthorn was one of my favourite moments in sport. Hearn was such a prick. Bang Bang-JDogg was good as well, genuine double knockdown. Looking at Bang Bang you'd think he was just a fat idiot.

Who is the best in this bkb just now? Is it done by weight class?

Yea got weight classes mate

If we're talking in just ubbad Bkb I'd say kev Bennett

Maybe some would say Sweeney but the opposition he's had ain't bin up to much in my opinion

Bennett just got beat. Sweeney or Ferry. Sweeney is hard to match.

I'd smash his birds back doors in. He looks a knob

He his a nob. He keeps saying he's going to do my mate in. My mate would destroy him.

He's not my cup of tea either but I don't care about all that really

He says some absolutely disgusting things. Worse than anything any boxer has ever said in history. He's obsessed with "The debt collector" Shaun Smith starting up his own sanctioning body, and Luke Atkin and Jdogg moving over. I keep telling Luke to ignore the clown but he does get to him a bit! Luke wants to kill him! Speaking of Luke, on Shaun's first show, a bloke called Ben Croft, who Luke did time with, was making YouTube videos calling him out, this that and the other, Croft pulled out the day of the fight saying his family didn't want him to do it. Luke had trained like an animal and a lot of people had travelled from York for that fight. Dirty trick.

Haha this is kind of a coincidence I just saw some bareknuckle boxing today on YouTube for the first time out of Ireland. I looked it up on Google I never knew it was a serious thing that has a whole world organization and everything. But I heard its not recognized as a sport in any countries. So my thing is how can there be a world organization that is allowed to operate if the sport isn't recognized or legal? And how would they be allowed to put it on tv?

It is legal, UBBAD consult with the police at all events. They're holding the next one in a 5,000 seater arena. I think they get round it by wearing wraps.

only watched him fight on YouTube , never even seen an interview or anything on him so wouldlnt know about any of that .

Watching better skilled fighters wearing gloves has far more appeal to me than watching bare knuckle fights.

And me, but you are allowed to watch both.... And these fights are much more realistically matched. If you like highly skilled 50-50 fights, stick to the WSB, light years ahead of pro's in matchmaking.

Agreed, wsb is a decent set up

I would watch both. But as I said I'd prefer to watch pros with gloves on. As for matchmaking, there's no doubt it is boxing's archilles heel and a big reason UFC has stolen so much of its market.
