It seems Kimbo goes for a lot of head shots, and yet the body blows hurt. I don't think he dropped anybody with a body shot, but he made some openings.
He also has a rock steady stance, whereas his opponents are a lot move bouncy.
Can we agree, based upon this example, that bare knuckle fights are over quicker because there is more damage done with a solid shot, AND that it is a bit more difficult to get in that solid shot when you're worried about copping one in return?
I don't think the fighters looked cut up, which surprised me.
