Best bare knuckle I’ve ever seen! Damn, our boys looked fantastic! I’d give it to Mendes from what I saw, but judges were heavy on Alvarez. Amazing fight! Chads head movement reminded me of Tyson, dodged so many hard hits and he has leveled up his boxing to another level🫡👏💪

[@dee_bless]

I’m not sure what the judges saw, but I had Chad Mendes winning this fight. He took the first two rounds & 4th round, in my opinion. I feel like he landed more punches that did damage. He also exchanged any damage he took, almost immediately. Both men showed some clean footwork & high gas tanks. Especially, after some wars they’ve been in & the age that they are at. Much respect to these veterans in the fight game. On another note, does Mendes look like he’s been juicing? I’ve seen him compete at 135 up to 155 & his back, shoulders, & traps were never that big or defined.

[@mikegallagher3700]

[@kingt0295]

[@moneymike473]

This might've been my favorite fight this year in any sport and definitely the best bkfc fight I've seen so far and I've seen a lot of them. These guys look more like boxers than anyone else in bkfc but they both have always been 2 of the best boxers in mma, especially Eddie. I miss the days of them in their prime.

[@F76CC]

​@@jaymoffett9475I thought I was the only one that was pro-PED lol. Better to have them be allowed and let everyone have the choice to use them or know if they're fighting someone on them then have them banned and have natural guys fighting guys on PEDs without knowing it and possibly have an unfair advantage because they know how to trick the system or have the money/popularity to get away with it.

Two of the best fighters to come from MMA. Both outstanding and upstanding guys. Great fight and a really tough one to score. Id have to go with Eddie because he was just a little more busy and threw more punches. Mendez had the bigger shots Im happy with either way honestly. Hoping these guys stick around BKFC for a bit. We need some more top shelf fighters.
