Bare Knuckles = Lights Out

Shawne Merriman signs on for bare-knuckle boxing match

This is really exciting for me

Its fun watching him fight former fans on Twitter that call him all sorts of names. Sell out being one of them. Its crazy that grown men can act like adults and move on.

Its a constant battle on Twitter. And its not just charger fans. Its just a place where you can hide behind your computer and take out all your anger and frustration. Its anger battleground. I may end up just bailing. Its toxic. Twitter is terrible for this country if you ask me.

Try a Lakers message board sometime. I tried once. I lasted about 5 minutes before I decided that 90% of Lakers fans suck

Right on Fleet!
Social media should be great for everyone but it's turned into a farce.
Totally agree that is why America is where it is today.

MMA striking isn't much different than bare hands. Gloves protect the hands, not the other guy's head. If he has strong hands (rather he doesn't break them), he'll probably be ok.

So much lost potential.

True to a degree. Any sort of boxing is different then mma striking because in mma you have to adopt your striking stance and strategy to takedowns. If you go in with a traditional boxing stance you get taken down and destroyed.

So so while the physics of it are the same on the hands they are functional different.

Still one of my favorites.
