Professional boxing requires the fighters to wear weighted gloves to mitigate the damage the punches can cause to their opponents. But, there is another dynamic of combat sports that takes the heat of confrontation up a notch. And leave it to the fighters involved to choose the damage they wish to cause their respective opponents. Bare Knuckle Fighting is not for the faint-hearted as fights are more brutal than professional boxing. And, most of the time, it gets bloody. A recent clip is a testament to the danger of damage bare-knuckle fighting inflicts on the fighters.
A clip of a brutal knockout during bare-knuckle fighting is going viral on the internet, drawing attention from the fans. The clip shows a fighter tasting the canvas as his opponent gets an opening and exploits that for his benefit. Moreover, the fans are in disbelief at the brutality of the fight.
