An 8 fighter tournament featuring some of the already agreed upon bouts and some humble suggestions. On one side of the bracket - Victoria Justice v Danielle Panabaker / and Becky G v Madison Beer . On the other side of the bracket Sarah Carter v Michelle Keegan / Willa Holland v Olivia Holt ? Winner could be the first Flyweight Bare Knuckle Champ?

Panabaker is 5’ 7”. That’s big bantam-small light. Otherwise the idea is sound.

One man's opinion - the nature of the bare knuckles fight kind of transcends weight classes and other traditional boxing proprieties ... come as you are garb (jeans and sports bra) ... and no "well I'm only 109 and you are 132 and its not fair for a welterweight to fight a flyweight!". Its more, you wanna throw hands or not?
Stepping on a scale for a weigh in does not fit my idea of bare knuckles fighting.
And maybe its my prejudice from Jenny Mac's many St. Patrick's Day brawls but the fight seems like it belongs in a bar or a parking lot. Again - one man's opinion.

+1 , a 'fight club' (unoffical, clandestine, something in that direction) theme would suit these events more than ufc/mma environment.

I don't think a small size difference needs to make a difference in bare knuckle bouts, but I agree that a welter against a fly doesn't work. As for venues? A boxing ring is ok, as is something more rustic, in my opinion
But I like the 'fight club' idea a lot

It allows bouts like this to still be included on PPVs |

A boxing ring is ok, as is something more rustic, in my opinion But I like the 'fight club' idea a lot I agree with Dave on both counts. I think a boxing ring is still the appropriate venue. It allows bouts like this to still be included on PPVs Just a few quick notes:
A) First of all, I'm glad there is such interest in the bare-knuckle title. I'm happy to provide results for some of these matches in the future and am pretty sure I'm slated to do so soon. This would be a fun mini-PPV or a mini-tournament, but at this time, we won't necessarily be crowning anybody as a champ as it's unclear as to whether there will be different weight classes or not. Plus, we would also probably like to open it up more to volunteers from different stables when we're discussing a champion.
B) In terms of the weight classes, I'm open. It can be like JMD/JMDD, where we have two weight classes dividing between fly/bantam and light/welter.
C) As far as where these fights take place, I don't have any preference. Even if it's in a bar, parking lot, something more 'rural', there is no reason why it can't take place on the PPV even if it doesn't take place in the ring.
I'm glad to see the enthusiasm here and I'll look forward to working with everybody who is interested. Thank you very much!!!

Any chance we could see one of these fights soon?

These are not traditional, conventional fights. Tractorpull will not predict or cover them. We consider it a step in the wrong direction to more violence. Where will it stop? We will not consider them in our rankings nor for eligibility for the Hall Of Fame

Has there been any discussion regarding these or any other bare knuckle fights?

... Stepping on a scale for a weigh in does not fit my idea of bare knuckles fighting. ... I think the idea (bare knuckles) fits neatly into the "outside the box" ethos of several FCBA stables! That said, I also can conjour up an image of a professional actress suddenly having second thoughts about putting her million dollar face in front of a much taller/heavier woman's bare knuckles. (That would speak to the - perfectly rational - questions about why someone would willingly get into a fight with a much bigger opponent.) On the other hand... we've all seen (at least in the movies) or heard about, ill-conceived fights where one/both fighters were so angry (drunk?) they were incapable of having second (or even first) thoughts about their own safety. Since this board is all about fantasy, I say go for it and let the viewing public (and writers) make up their own minds as to its viability!  |
