Se nedenfor for hvad Riggs havde at sige om overgangen til denne nye disciplin, hvad fans kan forvente at se i ringen og mere:

 

Hvorfor valgte du at gøre overgangen til Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship?

 

 

 

“Jeg er blevet bestemt til at være en mester, siden jeg var en lille knægt. Det tog mig lang tid at vokse op som både en mand og en fighter. Men jeg har endelig sætte det hele sammen, og min krop er stadig rigtigt og fungerer godt. Så, er det tid for mig at gøre overgangen til BKFC og forhåbentlig gå en BKFC bælte. Jeg nyder virkelig bare kno kampene. Jeg har kæmpet i en masse forskellige discipliner, og det er en kæmpefordel for mig.

 

 

 

Det er også virkelig fedt at være en del af organisationen, der var vært for de første lovlige og regulerede nøgne kno slagsmål i US. i mere end hundrede år. For at deltage i genoplivningen af ​​denne gamle sport er en ære.”

 

Har du set BKFC slagsmål? Hvis så, hvad var dit indtryk af det?

 

 

 

“Jeg fik ikke en chance for at se BKFC 1 eller 2 leve, men jeg gik tilbage og så Kendall Grove kamp, samt Chris Lytle og Joey Beltran. Jeg troede, at kvaliteten af ​​produktionen var stor, og de kampe selv var overbevisende, især sværvægterne. Disse fyre banging væk derinde.”

 

Hvad med din stil eller baggrund tror du vil oversætte godt ind nøgne kno konkurrence?

 

 

 

“Jeg blev avlet til at være en fighter, uanset disciplin. Bare kno kæmper bare tvinger mig til at bruge min overlegne slående. Jeg kan boksen rigtig godt. Det er noget, jeg har gjort i mange år, så min stand-up spil er fremragende.”

 

Hvad er nogle af de udfordringer, som kampene i denne nye disciplin?

 

 

 

“Jeg tror de to største bekymringer med nøgne kno er såre mine hænder eller få skåret lettere og vi arbejder naturligvis på måder at undgå det.”

 

Hvordan din træningslejr afvige fra en faktiske nøgne kno kamp?

 

 

 

“Det vigtigste, jeg fokuserer på i lejren arbejder på at styrke min kerne. Jeg smider også nogle slag lidt anderledes i uddannelse, end hvis jeg var i en rigtig kamp. Vi forsøger også at være forsigtig med organ skud, lignende slag til leveren. Men min condition er stor, og jeg skubber at hårdere og hårdere for nylig.”

 

Hvad har folk omkring du sagde om nøgne kno kæmper gøre en tilbagevenden, og du officielt undertegnelsen på med BKFC?

 

 

 

“For den gennemsnitlige person, nøgne kno kampene kan virke vanvittigt. Men hvis du skridt tilbage og tænke over det, MMA bruges til at virke som en sindssyg koncept for tilbage i dag. Dette er egentlig bare en anden form for to professionelle kæmpere i der konkurrerer mod hinanden.”

 

Hvad ved du om Brok Weaver og hvordan forventer du kampen for at udfolde?

 

 

 

“Jeg så et par af Weaver seneste kampe. Han ligner han kaster hurtige slag og er en hård fyr. Min bundlinjen er, at jeg aldrig ønsker at overse nogen. Jeg har lavet den fejl i fortiden og betalte prisen for det. Men jeg absolut ikke tror Weaver kan slå mig. Vi er begge professionelle krigere selv, og vi vil se, hvad der sker den 20. oktober.”

We of course also preview this weekend’s boxing matches and the UFC and Bellator cards coming out of England. We even touch on the regulation of bareknuckle boxing and Bobby Gunn’s claim of no fatalities recorded in the sport.

Former world champion Imamu Mayfield interested in tonight’s Jones – Gunn clash

Efterlad en kommentar

Freehold , NJ (Februar. 17, 2017) – Former IBF World Cruiserwight word champion Imamu Mayfield has thrown his hat in the ring to face the winner of tonight’s Roy Jones, Jr. – Bobby Gunn WBF World Cruiserweight title bout that will shown LIVE on Pay-Per-View.

Mayfield of Freehold , New Jersey ended a eight-year hiatus in losing to then-undefeated heavyweight Dan Pasciolla, but came back to Knockout a game Anthony Caputo Smith in six-rounds on November 12th i Atlantic City.

Mayfield’s longtime friend/manager Vinny LaManna is adamant that that Mayfield will have the right style to beat Jones or Gunn.

“This is a fight we would love to have. Imamu is in great shape, and after his win over Caputo Smith, he has the confidence that he can beat any cruiserweight out there,” sagde Lamanna. “Jones has beating lesser guys, and a win over either of them would catapult Imamau back into the rankings and then he can see his way back to the title. The fight would make sense as it would put two older guys together in a fight that would have meaning. I am rooting for Gunn tonight, Bobby is a gentleman. If Bobby can pull the victory off i aften, Mayfield vs Gunn would be a big draw in New Jersey because both guys live in the Garden State. The point being is simple, if Imamu can’t beat the likes of Roy Jones’s or Bobby Gunn than who can he beat?”

“Skill vs. Will”

LIVE ON PAY-PER-VIEW–FRIDAY FEBRUARY 17TH
Wilmington, DE (Februar 16, 2017)–Below are quotes from Wednesday’s press conference in advance of Friday night’s “Skill vs. Will” Pay-Per-View showdown between Roy, Jones, Jr. and Bobby Gunn.
Roy Jones Jr.
On Bobby Gunn as an opponent:
“The thing I stand for and respect and represent – I love a person who won’t quit, og [Bobby Gunn] won’t quit for nothing. Han har 72 vinder med 72 knockouts – bare-knuckle – you’re really a professional bully! You just beat people up for the hell of it… It’s what I love. People ask why I’m so motivated to fight Bobby Gunn – it’s because what I stand for in boxing, he is in bare-knuckle. I respect that.”
On the opportunity to be in the ring on Friday:
“We are getting an opportunity to share the ring, and entertain the people while we share the ring, and I am at-heart an entertainer. And this man is a killer. I’m not saying that this man is not a killer, it’s just that I trust in my abilities to go out and do things differently because that’s who I am.”
On his conditioning:
“I am in very good shape for the first time in four or five years. I feel better than I have felt in a long time. I know I have my hands full, and I know my hands are ready for battle. I know this man is coming to bring it. But that’s what we live for; that’s what we love. Come Friday night be ready for a very entertaining fight.”
Bobby Gunn


On Roy Jones Jr. as an opponent:
I’m born and bred a fighting man, since birth. I’m fighting one of the greatest fighters who ever lived. I’ve seen a lot of horsesh!t on the Internet, people running him down. Saying he’s too old, this or that. Why don’t you guys get in the ring and fight him, derefter? Let me tell you something right now – I respect him more today than [the fighter he was] 20 år siden. Because he’s more dangerous, he’s cagey, he’s a veteran. There’s nothing you can do to him he hasn’t seen.”
On his mental and physical condition coming into the fight:
“I’m coming here to fight my guts out. I’m in good shape. I’ve been training hard for this one for a long time – this man’s been in my head a long time. I go to sleep with Roy, and I wake up with Roy. He’s part of my family, we’re sick of talking about Roy. I can’t wait to see him Friday night and get it over with! I’m coming here to fight.”
On critics of the matchup:
“In a few days here, me and Roy are going to battle. We’re doing to prove a lot of critics wrong, a lot of doubters. When that bell rings, it’s only me and him in there. For at være ærlig med dig, critics mean zero. Their opinions mean nothing… [Roy Jones Jr.] said he’d come and fight me, and he’s here. He has the heart of the lion. But we’re going to get it down. I’ll shake your hand today, but I’ll tell you [to Jones Jr.] we’re in for a good fight, both of us. Roy Jones won’t forget my name for the rest of his life.”

“Skill vs. Will”

LIVE ON PAY-PER-VIEW–FRIDAY FEBRUARY 17TH
Wilmington, DE (Februar 13, 2017)-World rated junior middleweight Kanat Islam is looking for a big outing this Fredag nat når han tager på Robson Assis (16-3, 9 KO s) på denRoy Jones, Jr. – Bobby Gunn WBF Cruiserweight title Pay-Per-View co-featured bout at the Chase Center in Wilmington, Delaware.
The Islam – Assis bout is scheduled for 10-rounds.
Islam (22-0, 18 KO s) has been training in his adopted home of Pahoke, Florida by way of Kazakhstan, is ready for whatever Assis will bring to the ring.
“Uddannelse har været stor. I know Assis is a southpaw, og han kan lide at bokse. That’s about it! Between all my amateur experience and pro bouts all over the world, I am ready for anything,”said Islam.
Before taking this fight, Islam was mentioned as possible opponent for WBO junior middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez, before the Mexican superstar took a bout with Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. This would be a fight that the 32 year-old Islam would relish.
“My people in Kazakhstan would love to see this fight. My team wants to see it, and I want to be in that fight. If that opportunity comes, I will focus and get the right sparring, and be ready for that opportunity.”
But before any of that can happen, Islam must 1st get past Assis on a card headlined by the legendary Roy Jones, Jr. This is an opportunity, that Islam isn’t taking lightly.
“Roy Jones, Jr. is a legend, and a big name in boxing. In the past and still today he is big. It is an honor to fight on a card that he is in the main event.”
Back home in Kazakhstan, Islam is getting close to legendary status himself, as onOctober 29th, he defeated Patrick Allotey in front of 18,000 fans in his homeland to capture the WBO Inter-Continental title and retain his WBA Fedlatin Super Welterweight titles.
“Fighting in front of my home people means more to me than anything. It shows them that I represent their culture and they like to see my fighting style. It was a dream come true to fight in front of so many of my people. They were cheering my name, and for that I am thankful for them.”
“We will return there to Kazakhstan and fight again. I don’t want them to miss the fight on17th februar that I have with Assis. I am always thankful for my fans who always support me. I want to thank Nelsons Promotions, Raynelo Management and my sponsor Zheizu Company. I always want to David Feldman Promotions, King’s Promotions and Roy Jones for giving me the opportunity to fight on this card.

Wilmington, DE (Februar 8, 2017)–Bare Knuckle Boxing Legend Bobby Gunn is ready for his opportunity of a lifetime, when he takes on all-time great Roy Jones, Jr in a bout scheduled for 12 rounds for the WBF Cruiserweight title that will take place on Fredagnat, 17th februar på The Chase Center i Wilmington, Delaware. The bout can be seen LIVE ON PAY-PER-VIEW.
Gunn of Hackensack, New Jersey has been preparing for this fight, and is ready for the biggest fight of his career. “
I am fighting an all-time great, and styles make fights. It will be a hell of a fight,” said Gunn.
Gunn wanted to raise the stakes for the fight, but he doesn’t think that Jones has the confidence that he will come out victorious.
“I laid it out to him for a winner-take-all bout. I am a puncher, so I know I will win this fight.”
This will be Gunn’s 1st bout i 38 måneder, but the Bare-Knuckle Legend has been active fighting on the Bare-Knuckle circuit, and has a perfect record of 72-0 med 72 knockouts in those bouts.
“People can look, and think that I haven’t been active, but a fight is a fight and I have been fighting the Bare-Knuckle fights. Fighting is Fighting. The only difference in those fights is that the gloves protect the hands. Despite what it says on my boxing record, I have always been active. But the time out of the ring plus being against Roy Jones, Jr, the fans will see a different Bobby Gunn.”
Gunn, usually a mild-mannered fighter, has also been motivated by some “Trash-Talk”from Jones.
“He said that I don’t deserve to be in the same ring as him. I was already motivated for this, and he will find out otherwise on 17th februar. Efter 17th februar, he will remember me for the rest of his life. I am not coming to dance. I am coming to fight, and early on, Roy will know that he has a fight on his hands.”
