BARE KNUCKLE STEPHENS VS ALVAREZ

An Electrifying Night at Bare Knuckle Boxing: Stephens vs. Alvarez

Hey fight fans, what's up? If you missed the bare knuckle boxing event last night, just know it was one for the history books! The card was stacked with intense fights, thrilling finishes, and both the guys and girls didn't hold back one bit. Let's dive into some of the standout bouts and see what went down in the ring.

The Fierce Clash: Bec Rawlings vs. Taylor Starling

The first fight I want to highlight is the showdown between Beck Rawlings and Taylor Starling. Trust me, the fight was unforgettable. Beck Rawlings was on fire! She displayed an impressive array of feints and her footwork was on point. It was like she was performing a dance—stepping just out of range and moving her head perfectly off the center line. Her fluidity in throwing those three to four strike combinations was something you don't see every day. Her hard work and dedication were evident, and she truly deserved every bit of praise for that performance.

Ben Rothwell: A Dominant Force

Another standout from the night was none other than Big Ben Rothwell. He looked absolutely fantastic in the ring. With a record in the organization standing at an impressive 4-0, Ben just steps in, lands a crushing blow, and secures the victory. The nature of bare knuckle boxing is intense—it's all about who lands the first solid strike. In Ben’s fight, he did exactly that while showcasing technical skill that was impressive given the short bout duration. Big congrats to him for his incredible performance.

The Main Event: Eddie Alvarez vs. Jeremy "Lil' Heathen" Stephens

The headline fight of the evening featured the highly anticipated matchup between Eddie Alvarez and Jeremy Stephens. Jeremy came out on top after dropping Alvarez a few times. Eventually, Alvarez’s corner decided to stop the fight, and honestly, Jeremy's right hand was the game-changer here. I've always thought that if Jeremy landed that right hand, his chances of winning were pretty high. It's like the old saying goes—in bare knuckle boxing, whoever lands first often comes out victorious.

Jeremy Stephens, it seems like he's similar to Mike Perry. He's kind of built for this.

Jeremy's style is reminiscent of fighters like Mike Perry—seemingly built for the brutal nature of bare knuckle bouts. His ability to absorb damage and strike with power makes him a natural fit for these matches.

Hands of Steel: The Importance of Tough Hands

One fascinating aspect I've noticed in bare knuckle boxing versus traditional gloved boxing is the conditioning of a fighter's hands. Fighters like Jeremy Stephens and Mike Perry seem to possess hands that are more resilient to damage. This becomes a critical factor, considering the risk of hand injuries is ever-present in bare knuckle boxing. It's not just about taking a punch to the face; it's also about what your fists can endure. We've witnessed fighters like Artem Lobov topple others in the ring due to their ability to withstand hand injuries.

Remember when Artem defeated Paulie Malignaggi? In a conventional boxing setting, Artem might never have come out on top. However, in bare knuckle, Paulie's hand injuries were a clear disadvantage. The same could be said about many fighters from last night—unfortunately, hand injuries are a grim reality in this sport, and I'm sure several competitors faced that challenge.

Future Matchups: Could We See More?

Speaking of Jeremy Stephens, a dream matchup I'd love to see is him taking on Mike Perry. While I doubt Conor McGregor's recent callout of Jeremy will materialize, a clash between Jeremy and Mike Perry could be electrifying. Although Jeremy is a little smaller in build compared to Mike, a fight at a catchweight of around 170 pounds could be feasible. Jeremy's powerful right hand and lethal left hook give him a fighting chance against the physically imposing Perry.

Before wrapping things up, I’d like to give a massive shoutout to Jeremy Stephens, Bec Rawlings, and Big Ben Rothwell for their stellar performances. The event surely delivered for anyone who appreciates the raw and uncensored nature of bare knuckle boxing.
