Bare-knuckle boxing is an ancient combat sport involving two fighters in a ring without protective gear except for hand wraps. It typically has two-minute rounds of fights.

Despite its long history dating back to the 18th century, it was banned due to its perceived brutality and potential for injury.

In Gamebred Bare Knuckle, fighters engage in five rounds, each lasting two minutes with a one-minute rest period in between. The ring is circular, with a 22-foot diameter and no ropes. Instead, fighters are enclosed in a small circle in the center of the ring called the "pit."

Gamebred Bare Knuckle has a variety of fighters from different combat sports backgrounds, including boxing, kickboxing, MMA, and traditional martial arts. Hector Lombard, Leonard Garcia, and Chris Leben are notable fighters who have participated in this promotion.

The Basic Formula Of Bare Knuckle Boxing

Regarded as a brutal and intense sport, it requires a lot of skill and technique. Here are some of the key bare-knuckle boxing techniques:

• The Jab
• The Cross
• The Hook
• The Uppercut
• The Overhand
• The Slip
• The Bob and Weave
• The Clinch
• Footwork
• Defense

The techniques used in bare-knuckle boxing are similar to those used in modern-day boxing, but there are some differences due to the lack of gloves, as per Sportsrec.

Bare-knuckle boxers tend to rely more on punches that target the head and upper body, as punching with a bare fist to the body can be painful and can cause injury to the hand.

The basic formula for bare-knuckle boxing uses footwork, head movement, and punches to outmaneuver and outscore your opponent.

A good bare-knuckle boxer should have a strong understanding of the basics of boxing, including jabs, hooks, uppercuts, and crosses, as well as how to move around the ring effectively and avoid getting hit.

For instance, many fighters will try to get in close to their opponent and use body shots to wear them down, as this can be more effective with bare fists than with gloves. Others will use their footwork and head movement to avoid punches and wait for an opportunity to strike.

Bare-knuckle boxing's legality depends on the location, with some notable exceptions. The first bare-knuckle bout was held in 1681 in England. 

Although it remains illegal in most parts of the world, the sport has gained popularity as more states legalize it and social media platforms showcase its intensity. 

In the UK, bare-knuckle boxing is legal but not fully regulated and operates without official regulation from the British Boxing of Control (BBBC). Meanwhile, in the US, bare-knuckle boxing is legal but restricted, with only a few promotions allowed, and its legality varies by state.

Despite its often controversial reputation, bare-knuckle boxing has grown in popularity in the UK and the US over the past five years. It has become a PPV product and regularly sells out arenas.

Celebrities such as YouTube star Kimbo Slice and Liverpool-based Shaun Smith have helped further popularize the sport. Smith even created his bare-knuckle boxing promotion featured in a Netflix documentary, per The Sun. 

In the UK, the sport has attracted several notable fighters from other combat sports, such as ex-UFC fighter Brad Pickett, journeyman boxer Robin Deakin, and former British boxing champion Matty Askin, who have all made the switch to bare-knuckle boxing and contributed to the growth of the sport's popularity.

Bare Knuckle First Recorded Fight In 1681

Bare-knuckle boxing has a long history, with the first recorded bout in England in 1681. It persisted for over 100 years until the Marques of Queensberry Rules were introduced in 1867, which required gloves to protect the hands, not the face.

These rules made boxing a good sport and became part of the Olympics in the 1990s. Despite its evolution, bare-knuckle boxing became the sport that people forgot. However, during the 1970s in the UK, unlicensed boxing became popular again.

Notorious underworld characters like Lenny McClean and Roy Shaw participated in these bouts as they were banned from professional boxing due to their criminal pasts.

Moreover, Irish travelers often settled disputes through illegal bare-knuckle fights, as portrayed in the 2000 movie "Snatch" by Brad Pitt.
