Bare knuckle boxing in the UK has gone from underground pub-car-park brawls to an organized scene with promoters, brands, and title fights, and journalist Clive Martin embeds with the people running it. Fighter-turned-promoter Andy Topliffe explains B-BAD, his company built to legitimize the sport with rules against dirty tactics and gambling while still allowing fighters to knock each other cold. James "Gypsy Boy" McCrory, a self-described softie who loves his mom, is filmed bulking up for a match against American Jason Young, billed as the first UK/US bare knuckle fight in roughly 150 years. Solicitor Seth Jones, 46, describes trading a life of dealing drugs for law school while still fighting on weekends, and undefeated champion James "Mr. Happy" Lambert, now refusing to hit even his own punching bag, makes the case for giving up violence entirely. Martin's camera catches the contradiction running through the whole scene: reformed street fighters, IT workers, and builders all channeling old aggression into a controlled ring, and the film leaves open whether that control redeems the violence or just repackages it.
