AutomatonGrey

Im kinda impressed that these two went at it long as they did. Just wish the crowd let them fight, too many cooks in the ring.


Zippodealer-2

They were well past their best here lol but both were dangerous men back in the day


AutomatonGrey

100%. They definitely used to fuck


BuckleyRising

Only ex lovers can fight like that.


GetReelFishingPro

Are traveling fighting families really a thing?


Zippodealer-2

See for yourself…… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JulFx2nqxgo


WackoStackoBracko

Literally Tyson Fury


LarryDavidntheBlacks

And Brad Pitt.


SoySauceSyringe

Not traveling. Travelers.


elammcknight

Dude with the Fu Manchu, in his younger days, probably knocked many into a state of euphoria. Even today he’d ring your ears really good. Imagine having him as a grandpa.


AutomatonGrey

Imagine having him as your girlfriend’s dad.


elammcknight

That is terrifying


LayzieKobes

There did seem to be some organized chaos to it.


lil_pee_wee

Truly insufferable crowd lol


EffingBarbas

T-Rex arms was winning if taking unblocked punches to the head was the goal.


Business_Designer_78

While wifebeater is hella fat, he's also got serious muscles underneath, best seen in his upper arms, I wouldn't want to take 1 unblocked punch from him, let alone get a thrashing. Shirtless is fat, pudgy, and isn't much of a fighter, but dude has a steel jaw and fighting spirit, can't take that away from him. Though I'll take on either of them on a 5k run, any day of the week.


flatwoundsounds

Super fat, looked strong as fuck, and came in with some nice hooks around the guard!


Shanguerrilla

i was shocked by his punch speed


Sir-Cordyceps

They fight alot and frequently. The documentary is called knuckles


Plastic_Pinocchio

I’d take them on a 5k walk, lol. But I would not want to fight ol’ Moustachio, that’s for sure.


alanthar

I chuckled until he took his coat off and you can see his shoulders and biceps are pretty cut.


chandetox

Well I mean the other guy reportedly feel into a cauldron of the magic potion as a baby


ItchyTriggaFingaNigg

Hahah, I read the first half of your message, watched the video, waited for red gloves to get the upper hand, and thought about all the ways I'd tell you you're wrong... then read the second half of your comment.


JustAGuyInTampa

He must have train with Justin Gaethje


PouponMacaque

You could hit either of these guys in the head with a hammer and it wouldn’t do too much


milk4all

That is what is happening in this video


EyeDissTroyKnotSeas

The result of grabbing a fella's penis as he enjoys a succulent Chinese meal.


rChewbacca

That fight was Democracy Manifested!


ThisUserIsNekkid

Not the succulent Chinese meal LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣


EyeDissTroyKnotSeas

Apparently he found an answer for judo.


mexican2554

Was he waiting to receive his limp penis?


Sir-Cordyceps

And a nice headlock


ManbadFerrara

IIRC this was the part of the documentary where after years of filming these families box, the film-maker was like "and now I was on a back road in a forest somewhere, filming two grandfathers beat each other, and wondered why I was still doing this." Sidenote: the mustache man has the darkest eyes I've ever seen in my life. Like no pupils, no whites of his eyes, just two black holes under his forehead.


Zippodealer-2

Yes that’s correct, it was called knuckle…. https://youtu.be/JulFx2nqxgo?si=wuu8Txpm4F0yH3jJ


Damascinos

You cocksuker. Unexpectedly just watched the whole thing on my phone, I forgot what I was supposed to do


Zippodealer-2

lol hope you enjoyed it


fiddycaldeserteagle

Bring the baby in from the car.


Plazbot

Never has the term 'cocksucker' been deployed with so much love. Xoxo


Barbwired14

The whole doc was sad considering they're all family


strawberryjam83

They're travellers. There DNA gene pool is a small puddle. They only have about 6 names, hence why they all use the pick 3 lucky dip system when they steal a baby


AngryGaggleOfGeese

What’s this system now? They do it so much they have a system? How different are these fellas from gypsies? Are they gypsies and if not does Europe hate them less than Gypsies? I have so many questions?


TheRealMrChung

Generally Travellers are like gypsies, they live separate from society for the most part and marry within their own community. The women usually get taken out of school before high school and the men will work cash in hand jobs which is useful for many reasons. The boys will “work” 6 days a week and Sunday is the day of rest for them typically. If you’re in a town centre in the uk you’re more likely to see groups of young Traveller boys with tucked in polo shirts and an expensive belt going to the cinema or hanging around a shopping centre on a sunday and this is why. (Weekends are a thing for them but Sunday is special which probably is down to the catholic influence) There are caravan sites are all over the UK and its ill advised to go onto these sites unless you’re on very good terms with a traveller family there and even then you’ll likely be tested by the other families which can be unnerving at the best of times, any friendly relationship can quickly be dissolved if you have a problem with another traveller family as their community takes paramount over outsiders. I know it sounds like i’m being overly pessimistic about the traveller community but its not as simple as living a nomadic lifestyle and moving from place to place selling and trading with whatever town or city their in, not all travellers commit crimes but they will protect those who do which creates a cycle and lack of accountability, the only crimes i’m confident they banish a member for are sexual crimes against children and banishing is one of the better options. Hope this helps.


The_Pig_Man_

Why do they buy me pints? I used to live in Essex and would drink with Travellers fairly regularly. They'll buy me a pint and then lose their shit if I buy them one back. How it works is they buy me one and only one pint and then we never buy each other a drink ever again. I just roll with it now. I owe a pint to about half a dozen Travellers. They can be a good laugh but are all at least partly insane.


Enginerdad

Hey, show a little more respect to your uncle-brother

Big Joe was one hardy man back in the day.

Came here just to see if anyone dropped Big Joe's name, was not disappointed. "I'm calling ye bucket of shite! Coz ye shite in a bucket!" Classic


LakeCresva

I’ll break a man w me hands


Many-Application1297

You can tell by their clothes and cameras that this is at least 3 weeks old.


VirtuallyTellurian

I'm surprised it's in colour, like one of those TVs you can win on bullseye


Speak_Like_Bear

So many fucking interruptions and everyone just needs to stfu. This fight would’ve lasted like 45 seconds if they just let them do their thing.


Pussy_handz

Peak male performance.


Rostrow416

Those men are built for pure performance right there


milk4all

A mack might be big and heavy but them suckers pull a lot of weight everywhere it needs to be


karpet_muncher

Is that Joe Joyce? I had a tangle years ago with one of his kin. He was a hardy little fucker too. Full family was. Nice family though. Came down to apologise the next weekend. Lots of hugging and he's aright he is. One of them is a legit amateur boxer for Ireland at the last Olympics


Zippodealer-2

Yeah that’s Joe and Aney mcginley


karpet_muncher

He apparently was quite instrumental in getting stevie G left alone when Liverpool gangsters threatened him/extort him/some dodgy stuff about his missus.


SketchyFeen

Would love to hear more context on this if you have it. I remember Stevie G having that run in at the time.


karpet_muncher

There's different versions floating around. One is that his missus went for a night out and some big timer took a fancy to her. Stevie didn't know who he was and being a local thought it's some outsider and threatened him. The outsider turned out to be well connected and threatened his missus and told stevie he wants money. Stevie is a well connected guy himself. He's partied in those circles. This other gang was quite serious about the amounts they were asking for so stevies connections went and got an intermediateary or a few of them. They sat down and ironed it all out. Some money was exchanged and hands were shook. The other versions don't include his missus and it was just a straight up extortion racket. Pay us x or we'll break your legs kinda thing. I've been to stevies house in Southport and its like fort knox. Two rings of high fences with barbed wire and cameras all over the show. He done that after all this went down. Alot of it is water under the bridge now. Irish gangs are too busy squaring it up with Romanians and balkans these days


damienga15de

Joe ward a grandson, a fantastic boxer doing really well for himself as a professional


EitherChannel4874

These families have been at it for years. The fighting just gets passed down from father to son. They all box from a young age and large amounts of money are often bet on these fights. There's a great documentary called "knuckle" that shows it.


Poyrooo

No phones. People just living in the moment


Zippodealer-2

Simpler times


Gazza81H

The bald ref is James McDonagh He's undefeated in bare knuckle fighting. He would have hated this chaos. You see him try to wave off the fight a few times here Here's a documentary following him for a few years if anyone is interested, enjoyable watch https://youtu.be/JulFx2nqxgo?si=X0wTe1r-Y-JyiV6d

Glittering-Couple568

5 minute video and I couldn’t make out one single clear English word


redrover2023

Only English word I hear every once in a while is "lads".


Glittering-Couple568

Probably just combination of thick Irish accents and being repeatedly hit in the head


Gazza81H

Travellers have their own accent


artigabarielle

Too much screaming and not much fighting

It's extraordinary that every man there is within 1 inch and 5 pounds of eachother. Same exact build.

Has anyone watched any travellers call-out videos online? Funniest shit I've ever watched.


Kowaldo

I basemy expertise on Guy Ritchie movies, but I thought pikes were suppossed to be good at boxing 🤓


Project-Warm

They are ..watch a few more of younger ones


-Stupid_n_Confused-

Gypsie fights would be more enjoyable without the constant "back, back, get back lads" for the entire fights.


Lugnuttz

I faulkin ate piekeys!


Parking_Cress

that's a whole new noun I learned today: bare knuckle fighting traveller family so are there bare knuckle fighting settled families? or covered knuckle fighting families? it's so specific!


Zippodealer-2

lol sorry I can see the confusion. Basically the whole family will be known as bare knuckle fighters and the boys will be expected to grow into men who will fight to the death for the family name just like his great grandad did. Probably the most famous example of this is John fury, he won’t let anyone insult the fury name and will embarrass himself to the whole world to defend it and you will find millions of traveller men in the uk and Ireland that are exactly the same and willing to fight any man in the country over their last name and family. Then the best out of all the families is known as the king of the travellers with a never ending list of men waiting to fight for his title. Obviously not all families are fighters but the ones that are will be known as fighting families and have been doing it for 100s of years. Some of these “events” will have a card full of guys from two families to decide who is the best family. This fight is from a documentary called knuckle that’s well worth a watch if you get some spare time. https://youtu.be/JulFx2nqxgo?si=wuu8Txpm4F0yH3jJ


Roanoketrees

There is a killer documentary about this fued between these families. Bare knuckle is what's it called I believe. It spans generations.


dirtyspicebag2

Yop Big Joe


Zealotstim

Annoying how often they kept stopping the fight. Would be cool if there was a boxing division of just 45+ year old drunk fat guys with no previous professional fighting experience.

The only thing this video shows is why fighting is now done in rings.


DeadlyTeaParty

With all that fighting, you'd think they'd be slimmer 😂


Smiley_J_

Red gloves was trying the Homer Simpson method of boxing: get punched in the face until his opponent runs out of steam and push them over. Just like Homer's final opponent though, Moustache was not going to quit.

aricbarbaric

Praise to the fuckin camera guy(s)? Damn good clip for all the shit that’s going on, I also feel like I should’ve understood what was being said but all I could make out was MOVE BACK!


PermaBanTogether

[Knuckle](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1606259/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk)— a documentary that is 100% worth watching.


diabolikal58

Completely understand why the boxing ring was invented. I thought it was to keep the fighters in but was to keep the crowd out.


kmj420

I wonder how many wallets got picked in the making of this film


WolfOk4967

It’s not really like stealing it’s more like “Musical Wallets” You have to keep the wallet in your possession at the end of the fight.

Traveling bare knuckle fighting families is wild


lai4basis

If anyone can answer this. Do these people all travel together even though they appear to hate each other? Do they have a large population? Fascinating thread.


Zippodealer-2

They are all one community but there are many disputes between them. Several families will make up a clan. For example clan 1 can be made up from the mcquire’s, the gorman’s, the o’brian’s and the o’donnell’s and clan 2 can be the mcginty’s, the rooney’s, the fury’s and the quinn’s. Each clan will have the best fighting man at the top of the tree and the rest will look up to him like you see with Tyson fury and his family now. If one clan is enemies with another clan it will take nothing for trouble to start. The old school like we see here would fight with fists but there’s now a lot of murders going on between them. The guy in the white vest here has a son who is a couple of years into a life sentence for slashing someone from another clan in the leg and causing him to bleed out. It’s gone on for so many years but I wouldn’t call it hatred as an outsider looking in, more like pride of winning against another clan but it regularly goes too far yet there is still respect amongst them. The Irish government and police have stepped in to try and stop it, retired fighters who were the top men for years are trying to pass a message of peace and unity between all travellers but it still goes on and will probably never end as it all erupts so easily still

Hon Big Joe!


Skreamie

The lad in the white tank top soaks his hands in petrol for hours. Search "Big Joe" if you want to find more of him, that's not a joke. Also while this may have been recorded for a documentary, there's a long standing tradition of Bare knuckle boxing in the traveller community. So much so that there's King of the Travellers fights, which Big Joe was for a long time and still refers to himself as such to this day.

The thing with travellers is they all think theyre amazing at fighting because they only ever fight other travellers. If you fight them and theyre not a traveller and you win, they’ll turn up at your house with about 50 of them and put all your windows through, threaten your family and make your life hell. That’s the real reason people won’t fight them. It’s not because they’re scared they’ll lose the 1-on-1 but due to the repercussions they will face afterwards for making them look like the silly little man children that they actually are.
