Editor's Opinion
By Nakmen
Damn, this BKB 59 smells like blood and Tijuana concrete from a mile away! Julian Fernandez vs Dan Podmore is like Batman vs the Joker, bare-knuckle edition: one’s got the rage of a rabid warrior, the other the brain of a strategist who’s probably outsmarted his dad with forks. Podmore looks like a guy who’s seen it all, but Fernandez is rolling in like a hurricane with a Disney villain’s grin after stealing the queen’s socks.
And then there’s this super flyweight bout between Ulloa and Nguyen… Honestly, if it’s half as good as the light heavyweights, I might need to get a satellite TV subscription, like OSS 117 tracking coups but with more violence. Bare-knuckle is proof that sometimes you’ve got to take off the gloves to see who’s really got steel balls. Stay tuned, but shh—no spoilers, or I’ll get banned from forums like a popcorn thief at a Linkin Park concert.
