It's good to see that the judges for bare knuckle fighting in Bulgaria are just as inept and/or corrupt as boxing judges in the U.S. Some great fights and some absolutely horrendous scoring by the judges.

[@berniemacdonald8026]

literally. 48-47 tahktarov and a draw for maia-petkov are ridiculous scores

[@dprich100]

@@berniemacdonald8026 Totally agree.

[@markswiatkowski37]

Pls see my earlier comment! Hometown or down!!!😂🎉

[@lamb88ert]

Yea definitely good that they are keeping the judging consistent across the board.

[@danthoreson4062]

if theres a betting line it's not left to be decided in the ring

[@gilbertrichiii3337]

I really like that the fights are back to back without long breaks in-between.

[@markuschampos5750]

No I miss the slow motion in between the rounds. It's hard seeing all the hits live.

[@Mr._Mean]

The sportsmanship we're seeing after these brutal fights is fantastic.

[@user-pb3ee7pw7f]

pekov and maia great fight

[@slowmissouri205]

It looked like it was straight out of a Rocky movie.I think Petkov could have finished it in round 2 if he had gone on the offensive when Maia was wobbling.

[@tombullard6167]

I thought Maia was gonna be out multiple times... lets hope they don't clone & create zombies from that dude, he just wouldn't go down.... & not from nothing but Petkov was smashing that chin over & over with some nice beautiful counters but still Maia just staggered & wouldnt go down! About to enter round 3 so damn good fight already needing to comment! 🤞 Rd3

[@berniemacdonald8026]

@@slowmissouri205 100% agree. scoring this 47-47 is criminal

Love the fights but the guy introducing in the ring is like something out of the 70s

Chris was one of my favorite UFC fighters back in the day, so glad he's doing well with announcing BKFC

[@markuschampos5750]

He is boring.

[@tvrv9774]

Just curious here.... Why aren't points taken when illegal moves are used while causing damage? What is the ref there for? To let cheating happen then warn about it, maybe once the damage is done? This is not a street fight, it's a professional fight with rules. The ref and fighters know the rules but almost every fight has some kind of "oops, I broke the rules". In a sport where ONE punch can change everything... I don't think these should be "warned". Am I wrong?

[@LostinMIA]

These men are like legal modern day warriors. I respect the fact they took on the challenge to fight with purely their hands. They feel the impact on flesh, no glove to hide or weaken it. Their hands blood mixed between both of them. Brutally Amazing! Love the circle ring too!

[@laridaa]

Very good event!!!!! almost all of the fights where interested. Greeting from Slovakia

[@therapist6328]

One day some promotion should have scoring done live, by the crowd members. These judges are as dependable as weathermen or stock advisors.

[@lurdjunior2656]

Great fight in bkfc58 watching from the philippines.

[@Clintsrandomvids]

Hats off to the referee for pronouncing the names right

[@seniors5334]

Bacocevic uses the most honourless boxingstyle i ever saw. Even ellbows and headbuts inkluded. What a piece of ...

[@user-vj7sj5gr9l]

Mia won that fight by sheer volume.Pekov threw some solid punches but volume was low just didn’t throw punches.Poor decision

[@MiroRusev.000.]

Everything is great then Jeff Houston starts screaming like a wild animal and ruin it!

[@dalroache]

Great skill and good camaraderie AWESOME knockdown

[@dalroache]

In the first fight*

[@shaunkarr5641]

Petkov vs Maia is the wildest fight I've ever seen ever. Estorer is a lit fighter. The way he was reaching out quick and turning in hooks last second, gripping and slapping his head real fast with a slap, plum, knuckles was fun to witness. Ivanov knee never hit the ground.

[@mattmclaren496]

The crowd was really impressed with the compare , it’s not about the fighting it’s his show

[@yosipko5282]

Interesting fights overall👍 Maybe that one boring where fighters waited for counters (called to fight multiple times)

[@gibant1]

It's not a squared circle, it's a circle

Wow! First time in Bulgaria & local boys win....quelle suprise!

I LOVE BKFC

[@PianoSkillBoy]

how do they measure fist size? cant find online. I would assume its the same as measuring for gloves in boxing, mma

[@imnotthatguy4765]

Bulgarian fighters were havin an ov night

[@user-lp1jw9bo5y]

Instead of a split draw they should have a sixth round related to both fighters if there’s no knock out after sixth round they both lose

[@johnhardin8601]

Take those microphones away from these guys.

[@user-ru7jf3wb4z]

Yunus Batan deadly..so fast and all you see is Stoimenov down with blood on his eyes...Türkiye 🥊🇹🇷

[@cashdebeastoops3656]

Fuck these guys are tough… I thought that watching those UFC fighters getting hit punched and kicked was brutal until I watched BKFC today for the first time…this is seriously dangerous and brutal.

[@KnockoutNetworkYT]

🔥

[@Frustratedfool]

A training dummy (fully articulated) and powered by AI will be a really good training aid. You can upload you opponents style and use the AI to find the perfect counter training regime. Plus watching it using all training data to avoid being hit would be good. Someone call Boston dynamics.

[@Rover19666]

mis-matches of the universe...that is for anyone who remembers some of the Tuesday night fights that Sean O'Grady use to call, some of them were clownish as well

16:00 Dear gawd Petkov, go FIRST. Petkov took a beating he didn't need to take. Could've finished Maia 3 or 4 times.

[@MiroRusev.000.]

The draw ending must be removed from fighting competitions! They start draw and if they finish draw, there's something wrong here!

Most of these fighters spend too much time in the gym building all those big muscles but not enough time running, skipping, swimming etc. to build their fitness, cardio & stamina.

Absolutely true muscles don’t give efficiency

[@MRAVERAGE-gh4qw]

How can you take BKFC seriously when they cheat that bad

[@londoeblack]

The ring announcer is a joke.

[@agnidas5816]

When there are zero palm strikes you know it is BS. You can hit full force with your palm without breaking it. Anywhere on the opponents body. ANYWHERE (even elbow) On the other hand it prevents brain damage. But they also don't try to break each others ribs for some reason. They only aim for solar plexus and shoulders and temples. As if they have no ability for thought and are going with the rehearsed motions from training camp instead of trying to win. Just like an exhibition match except with real skin cuts like WWE. This ain't it.

[@fortuitousthings8606]

What a joke the Egyptian batterred the head butting guy who spent the whole fight show boating and pulling hair and rabbit punching utter disgrace
