State sanctioned knuckle checking coming in June

There will be blood: Chesapeake fighter prepping for the 1st sanctioned bare-knuckle fight in the U.S. in 130 years
quote:
Just minutes into a two-hour workout, Reggie Barnett Jr. hit the wall.
It was brick and impervious to the punches of a super featherweight boxer like Barnett – or any boxer, for that matter.
Barnett hit it anyway, his scabbed knuckles making a pinging sound as they rapped against masonry and mortar in the industrial park near Greenbrier that houses the 757 Boxing Gym.
It sounded painful. It looked painful. But it’s necessary training for what Barnett is undertaking.
Saturday in Cheyenne, Wyo., Barnett will fight on the first state-sanctioned bare-knuckle boxing card in the U.S. since the days of John L. Sullivan – a span of 130 years. It’s a case, as his manager says, of the oldest sport becoming the newest sport.

I punch the plexiglass menus at sonic all the time to toughen my knuckles

This sounds intriguing.
I wonder if boxing should come off the ounces in gloves to do something similar to rekindle interest.

Bare knuckle fighting is stupid, but boxing gloves are too big. You can't punch as hard bare fisted

Wow , we really are getting more and more stupid as a species over time.......this is monumentally dumb.

I would like to see fist-fights end decisively in under 15 minutes(5x3min rounds or 3x5 min rounds) and nobody suffer long-term injury.
How do we get there? I mean we could experiment with some MMA fights where the rules require staying on feet at all times when possible.
I like MMA and have drifted from boxing years ago after growing up idolizing Mike Tyson, who's only 9 yrs older than me.

There was a night club years ago in Metairie that had a ring where patrons could fight one another.
