24:50 the fight.
I used to know an old Irish man who moved to Liverpool in the late sixties. He then decided that he wanted to move to the US. To get the price of the fare, he used to fight bareknuckle around the UK. He won his fights and earned his way to America. Tough old devil even in his eighties when I met him.
4:30 guy pulled his hand back like two feet away before punching that wood. What was with the five finger punch set up lol?

Bare‑knuckle fighting didn’t start in England — that’s just where it became a formal sport. The idea itself is ancient. You see bare‑fist combat in Sumer and Egypt (3000 BC), Greek boxing and pankration, Roman caestus fighting, and Myanmar’s Lethwei long before the 1600s. England gets credit because it created the first organized version with rules, champions, and documented matches.
