As Don Frye used to say "Anyone can win one fight in a night, it's winning three that shows who has the steel balls".
The fighters now ARE better (I used to have to drive 2 hours to sniff the ass of a blue belt....and was grateful for it) but the old bareknuckle guys WERE tougher.

What is the FIRST RULE OF FIGHT CLUB!?!
But seriously, it was set up by Kirk Jenness on The UnderGround Forum (MixedMartialArts.com - amazing website) and Kimbo's manger Icey Mike (good guy). Additional info from an article Kirik wrote -http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/news/the-toughest-cop-thats-not-allowed-to-serve-to-protect-us "Author’s Note – The fight Gannon is most often criticized for (vs. Kimbo Slice) was actually a charity fundraiser organized on this very website 12 years ago. All profits from the DVD sales of the Kimbo fight were donated to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. Sean was not allowed to speak to the press, so he was never allowed to tell anybody about it, and was instead portrayed as a barbarian.
Further, Gannon expressed the highest respect for Slice, who passed away far too young in June.
“Kimbo deserves a lot of credit here too, he essentially agreed to fight for free for charity, and never felt the need to brag about it,” explained Gannon. “That’s the kind of guy he was, despite the rough exterior, always doing the right thing and never looking for a pat on the back afterwards. And that’s what this sport is all about.”"

I know these are supposed to mainly be questions from you, but there is something I need to ask you guys. As you see in this link http://www.wbur.org/news/2016/12/13/boston-police-social-media-monitoring-opposition the police are monitoring social media in very scary ways. The ACLU and the other good people in this article actually don't realize how bad it is. It's gone way beyond monitoring, they're actually manipulating and silencing people's ideas and opinions in favor of themselves, in a way the police should never do in a democratic society. They even (especially) do this in cases where they are being sued for misconduct or inappropriate behavior. They are infiltrating "communities of interest" all over the internet (including the ones here). They become Mods and delete threads and ban people for reasons a government agency never should. And worse, they're abusing Federal grant money to do it. Is this the kind of policing this country needs? Thought Policing? I'm doing another document drop at FBI headquarters today around 1:30pm (can live stream it if you like). Anyone local is welcome to swing by and show their support (FBI Headquarters, 201 Maple St, Chelsea, MA). I'm submitting my proof (on this and many other issues) to them, but I lack the techie skills you youngins have for some of this stuff. If you guys can reach out to anon...excuse me, I'm a terrible speller...if you guys could reach out to anyone that might be able to help I would appreciate it. City of Boston corruption is best, but they're a Federal agency, I can hand them anything and they're bound to investigate. Send it to [email protected].
EDIT - We're staging in the Burger King parking lot across the street from the FBI headquarters (because I don't like being placed face down by an FBI anti-terrorist team because I showed up unannounced with a mob). We're all going to buy burgers first (so we're not trespassing). And because we have manners.
