Well, the op is right - bare knuckle attacks are very different to gloved sparring, and it is wise to remember the difference. But I wouldn't throw out all the extremely useful - probably essential - things you can gain from sparring just because of that. It's hard enough to have a fight, without that awful, terrible feeling of being suddenly overwhelmed and totally out of your depth thinking "I'm going to die now" - I've had that, even after doing tons of sparring training. Sparring, or some kind of pressure work is the only way to train for that, though - as far as I know.
I always find it amusing on films where someone gets punched over and over bare knuckle right in the kisser - but then just has a little blood at the side of their mouth, and little ruffled hair. Lol.
I can't believe this thread went for six pages...

To spar with brace knuckle will be even more macho.

If you train this daily, you shouldn't be afraid of using your fist to hit anything.

More opinion -> more argument
Less opinion -> less argument
No opinion -> no argument
I could point you to the various videos on YouTube of Kimbo Slice fighting bare knuckle and you can see the ungloved result of gloved training specifically boxing. The reason in your clip those guys were so bad is not that they trained with or without gloves it just looks like they did not have much practice actually sparring and so did not have a good skill base.
