Egg Shen

Yep, im in. Are the Erceg supporters getting ahead of themselves though? Im starting to feel I am.

At least the 5 vs. 5 is going ahead.

Look at this heartwarming shit, how do you build a fight with Steve Erceg? The blokes a diamond. Pantoja too, this really is just a fight between 2 lovely fellas.

Our boy Oscar still getting the digs in:

You can tell De La Hoya has had a good few weeks, mental fucker must be back on the bag:

Paul Craig upto his usual tricks. I like the bloke but its a shame all the intensity disappears the moment the bell goes.

Appreciate the dedication wand

Yep, it's been cancelled.

Might as well bump the thread for this: Build up felt pretty flat until ol' Oscar started running his mouth at the presser. This is not a fight most wanted, but I do think it delivers.

William Gomis has got this seriously wrong

Oh yeah, most definitely. Some guys are entering this thing way past their physical peaks and that hunger and acceptance to take damage just might not be in them anymore. Some probably know that but fight for the cheque, other probably think they have it but realise once in there that it's gone.

I think the reaction to the Conor thing grabbed all the headlines, but as an actual show this was a bit of a disaster. The energy and pacing of the whole thing was great, but the fights just didn't deliver. I've said it on here many times, but bare knuckle is a whole different kettle of fish and fighters find out real quick if they are cut out for it. Todd Duffee a prime example, he wanted no part of Rothwell, and found a way out as quick as possible. I hate to say it, and I'm not one to shit on fighters but I thought Thiago Alves also found a way out of the Perry fight, to me it looked like he tried to play the ref into stopping the fight without being genuinely hurt. Probably decided that once he felt Perry's pressure he'd sling his hook. Then you had two other fights stopped through genuine gruesome injuries. It was just one of those nights. The one bright spot, and one guy who definitely is cut out for bare knuckle was Alfredo Angulo. About as mental a 90 second fight you are gonna see. Not enough was made of Riggs having a hand full of Alfredo's hair, but this was like a brutal streetfight playing out in a ring. Great to see Angulo win, and great to see the reaction to it. What a guy. Absolute animal.

Awful news
