how do you fight 76 bare-knuckle rounds while drinking only whiskey between rounds?

By drinking whisky between rounds.

after taking one good solid shot I wouldnt want to fight anymore and stay down. I mean that stuff really hurts and can give u stars, these guys just kept coming back for more.

this fight occured only 8 yrs later:

if only that fight from the bare knuckle era was captured, you can see the gloves totally reinvented and replaced the savage nature of the sport and made it into something else not as effective. Watch the last clip and compare it to the narration of the sullivan article.

Very interesting. It's also amazing we can watch a fight from 110 years ago.
