Two title fights top a fantastic card of BYB action!
BYB 32 Leeds Brawl will see a championship double header top a card filled with confirmed bare knuckle talents check out our weekend survival guide for more of a breakdown of this stacked day of bare knuckle. Two vacant titles are on the line with four worthy challengers ready to punch their way to some new hardware. BK Nation will do their best to tell the future for these title fights, here are our BYB 32 Predictions!
Scott McHugh (12-4, 4 KO) vs. Liam Rees (3-0, 1 KO): Vacant BYB Super Welterweight title
One of the largest resumes in modern bare knuckle, 16-fight veteran Scott McHugh will face off with 3-0 Liam Rees. In his hometown of Leeds, England McHugh will look to win his first championship under the BYB banner after a long career in BKB. Rees on the other hand won a British title in BKB but is yet to win a world title. Both guys carry power despite their knockout ratios, McHugh is a counter puncher with good boxing fundamentals, while Rees is a high output brawler who can surprise you with his technical ability. The Trigon will benefit both guys, it will require McHugh to open up a bit more, and less ground to cover for Rees to close the distance.
Cole Whiston: McHugh KO
Jag Kang: Rees UD
Corey Erdman: McHugh UD
Adam Hunt: Rees KO
Joe Fitzpatrick (3-1, 3 KO) vs. Harry Gigliotti (2-0, 1 KO): Vacant BYB Super Lightweight title
Young prospect turned contender Harry Gigliotti gets his shot to become a world champion just three fights into his career. Joe Fitzpatrick doesn’t have much more experience however he does have twice as many fights. Both guys are fundamental boxers especially Gigliotti who loves to dig to the body. Fitzpatrick has spent time at higher weights but still managed to collect knockout victories in all of his wins. He goes to 140 for this fight so we will see if that fits his body better and get the best version of him.
Cole Whiston: Fitzpatrick KO
Jag Kang: Fitzpatrick KO
Corey Erdman: Gigliotti KO
Adam Hunt: Gigliotti UD
