I should take a magic marker and have my wife outline the marks on my face and skull from bare fist fighting
It’s bound to draw blood but far less lethally dangerous than gloves if rules are appled for knockdowns and TKO
I was long heart low skill
Sorta like my pitching....my catcher only needed one finger for signaling

Strange how in MMA it is permissible to literally kick someone’s head off, but it is hideous and primitive to allow someone to use bare knuckles to hit someone’s head.

Actually when you have bare knuckle boxing it looks horrific but less permanent damage is being done.
The boxing gloves are heavy and you can hit much harder.
It is something like football equipment, at a certain point you are getting more damage caused then prevented by the equipment.

Eastwood actually turned down the role several times and had to be coaxed into it by his lover Sondra. He felt it would become his “Bedtime for Bonzi” moment.
