Is Paddy Monaghan the Biggest Farce in Bare Knuckle Boxing? PhilBoxing.com Fri, 20 Apr 2012 Bare knuckle boxing (BKB) is the original form of combat, and over the hundreds of years champions have stood up and fought wars that would be unheard of in combat sports today. BKB fans and historians are of course all well-educated of the famous 75-round war between John L. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain, and epic battle in which Sullivan came out the victor. Through the years countless warriors have stepped up and gone to battle in the bare knuckle circuit, whether it was for competition, fighting for your family name, or simply a payday, although one name stands out and may be the most questioned name in all of BKB?Paddy Monaghan. Now, Paddy and his followers claim that the middleweight retired from the BKB scene with an unblemished record of 114-0, yet there are no photographs, videos or any other documentation supporting these claims. Sure, you can Google his name and find countless websites, nicely written stat sheets and such, but anybody with a first grade education can create a page claiming to be the world champion bare knuckle boxer. Not to mention half of the photos of when Paddy was in his prime look photo shopped with his head on someone else?s body. True gloved boxing champions and current Hall-of-Famers have in fact told me Paddy was nothing more than Ali?s number one fan, and that is his TRUE and ONLY claim to fame. As BKB continues to reemerge and become more mainstream, people like Paddy Monaghan are doing nothing but giving the critics and the analysts fuel for their fire. Jokers who are nothing more than laptop warriors and telephone tough guys--http://www.facebook.com/groups/ragebareknuckleboxing/-- are taking away the legitimacy of true BKB from the actual fighters and champions. Bobby Gunn, James Quinn, Dada 5000?all pioneers and LEGIT fighters working towards taking this sport to the next level, diligently striving to show the world the true science that BKB is. But it?s a shame that anybody who can type can create such a farce as Paddy Monaghan, and people wonder why BKB isn?t as mainstream as gloved boxing or MMA. So to all fans of BKB, and to potential fans, don?t get caught up in the nonsense and theatrics about Paddy Monaghan?s impressive 114-0 BKB record. Documentation beats conversation all day long. Paddy Monaghan is simply a comic book superstar; joker?call it what you will, but a fraud is a fraud is a fraud.  |
