I doubt it, there is a much higher chance of breaking something in either your hand or someone else body without boxing gloves on, because of all the extra padding on them. But there is more surface area when using gloves, so you could create pain in more area on a body from using gloves. This is also why UFC fighters bleed a lot more than boxers, there is way less padding in their gloves.

How many rounds was the longest championship bare knuckle fight?

I may be wrong, but I think there was no limit on the number or rounds in bare knuckle boxing, so that a match would likely end with a knockout. Boxing gloves and round limits were among several additions intended to make boxing more humane.


Who did boxing get invented by?

There's evidence that Boxing existed long ago, circa 1500-3000 B.C but it was not called "boxing" and did not have a name. It wasnt until the 16th century England that it was revitalised and given the name "boxing" and also "bare knuckle boxing" and "prizefighter" by an English bare knuckle boxer named John Chambers.Then the English gave it rules (those rules still stand today) Those rules are "The Marquess of Queensbury rules" and were also created there. So the English get the credit for inventing "Modern Boxing" that we all know today.The first ever documented boxing match was in 16th century in England.


How do you win a bare knuckle boxing match?

Haymaker counters; bare knuckle boxing is all about the hurt bombs. Reason being, even with fists conditioned using Karate or Kung Fu techniques if you throw too many punches, that is if your fist lands against a face too many times eventually they will break. Hence you want to use as few hits as possible. Bare Knuckle Boxing is a lot more defensive than gloved Boxing, because of the greater damage. To win at bare knuckle boxing it takes extreme focus, and even more extreme accuracy. Additionally, you can't abuse the jabs as much, "tattoo needle" jabs will get you your knuckles broken. In Bare Knuckle Boxing all the techniques are exactly the same but the rules of the game work in reverse. Gloved Boxing says guy that attacks more wins, Bare Knuckle says guy that defends more wins. Gloved says speed kills, bare knuckle says not necessarily; bare knuckle Boxing says that TIMING kills. Again, with bare knuckle boxing all rules operate in reverse.


What type of punch is powerful?

The uppercut; the angle, number of muscles involved, in addition to the fact that the arm naturally moves in that arch, makes the punch incredibly powerful. In the 1890's, allegedly many Irish bare knuckle boxers had perfected the uppercut to such an extent, they could take even larger men off their feet with it. Although 1890's bare knuckle boxing, and modern boxing, all have the same names for the punches, the way said punches are executed is TOTALLY different. Modern boxing emphasizes speed, as competition is gloved, its about scoring points and landing leather. Because in a bare knuckle fight, the situation is much more dangerous, you have to "set yourself," additionally, you can not throw punches carelessly. From the time of ancient Greece until it was revived in England, Boxing was a stiff, defensive competition, reason for that being, again, an ungloved fist can do a lot of damage. I'm sure you saw the movie "Snatch," in which actor Brad Pitt played a bare knuckle brawler; what the movie said was true you know, a gloved pro boxer, would be no match for a bare knuckle fighter, because the bones of their face is accostumed to taking bare bones blows, when their faces heal, the bones beneath come back even tougher. In other words that gloved pro boxer character could have punched Pitt's character until hell froze over, he wasn't gonna hurt him. Given that bare knuckle boxing is almost a totally different game, the uppercut in old time English boxing, is done with more of the body's weight behind it. As to the method on how to do it, sorry; this is all I know. You'll have to track down bare knuckle brawling sources yourself.
