Devastating knockout in bare knuckle fight

Upon first glance, bare knuckle boxing may seem like a brutal, barbaric way to settle differences between feuding individuals or clans in the Irish gypsy community. But at least nobody is getting shot and killed over minor disputes which is often the case in so many communities throughout the world. At least in Irish traveler culture there is an organized avenue to go about settling beefs and frustrations in a much less destructive way.

Oftentimes this aspect of the culture introduces troubled young men into the sport of boxing where current Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury currently reigns King. His nickname ‘Gypsy King’ holds true to his Gypsy background and heritage.

The young men settling their beef in this YouTube video look like they have some boxing training of their own, though to what level is anybody’s guess. Both have their hands held high and their chins tucked low which is a good sign. The guy in the white t-shirt had his hands a little higher and tighter which hints that he may more the more experience boxer of the two.

Both move pretty well for amateurs and are not charging straight into incoming punches which you see very often in street fighting videos.

The gentleman in the white t-shirt is also using good head movement which is essential to avoid punches and to keep your opponent guessing. He is the first to land as well. Less than thirty seconds in you can already guess how this one is going to go. He throws a nice looking one, two and a sneaky little left hook to follow it up.

His opponent is already in survival mode just trying to hold on. He lands an okay jab afterwards but it doesn’t do much. A jab to the body is landed by white t shirt but that’s just to set up his next shot. A huge power right hand lands that makes a lot of noise. It crumples his outmatched opponent to the ground and ends the fight just like that.
