Love Sweeney but this sure seemed like some judging bias in his favor on this one. I wish BKB adopted dirty boxing rules like the other bare knuckle promotions use.
No way did he win that ..not a chance ..there was some bad decision..from all the judges..connelly show him how to box ...what a rubbish result ..the best man lost !!
I think connely won this one, very one sided judging. I hate the fact that Sweeney is the only one that can extend his fingers and getting away with it. If his got his lead hand out with his fingers extended straight out it makes it hard to come in Incase you get taken out with a finger. Poor reffing.
Connelly won that fight hands down! I agree there was Bias with the judges, Just like the rematch with Julian Lane and Sweeney, but when you watch the rematch, make sure you find the full fight not the edited one.
We couldnt see that first Over Hand Right at 2:35 that supposedly " wobbled his legs " it was just off camera and didn't seem to unbalance him but then again if the hype of the second OHR straight after is anything to go by it didn't bother sweeney at all regardless of result because I do think he lost but theres definitely been a unbias in commentary towards sweeney as of late ???
No,no,that was Connellys fight.The judges need to get their heads out of whoevers azz thier up and call the fight right.Connelly was robbed by the judges.RIGGED.
Throwing jabs all the time leaves you open for a defensive counter, either a right hook uppercut, etc. Like the guy above, you need to be smart and pick your fights wisely and strike at the right time.
This is what happens when a good bkb promotion starts looking at it from nothing more than a revenue point of view. They all know that sweeney is the main draw on this platform, and they didn't want their cashcow getting beat again even if it means having the best man lose on the night. Anyone with one eye could see he lost that fight.
I could tell these two guys had some decent boxing skills. Not like the horrible mismatches I've seen on some of the other BKB promotions just for the sake of having a fight card before their main fights make it to the ring.
They play favorites with Sweeney and he needs to close his fingers hes gonna eye poke someone. Where is barry jones he will beat the fucking shit out of both of them hes the king.
Both warriors! love both of their fights They both always spill blood. But to be honest I was shocked at the end. Personally, I don't know if Sweeney had it. I think it should have went the other way and they definitely have to fight again
The forward hands is not bareknuckle. The showboating buzzkilled most of the fight. BKB needs some work, no clinch work def adds to the mid feel overall.
R2 sweeny knew if he turned away thered be a timeout call.I didnt see no time out call when sweeny dirty ponched to bck of connelys head.Sweeny is a dirty fighter
Great fight , great sportsman, Sweeney got the decision but I wouldn't argue if it went the other way.Was super close whoever you pick.Hats off to both .Hope they get paid well they deserve it.👍👍
They just can't accept that Sweeneys time has come and gone, bit sad really. No matter who he fights, the announcers only ever credit jimmy through the fight. " Jimmy this, Jimmy that." And even when they do, they still spin it to end up talking about Jimmy.
What a disappointing result!!! But I think Connely should have done more in the last round. Sweeny remained the attacker. Connely was surely winning the fight in the early 3 to 4 rounds and then faded a bit.
Sweeney outbox team I mean the guy ran from him the guy who won the first two rounds but Sweeney's a way you know the guy wouldn't find him how can you say the guy want to fight he didn't want to fight
The ref let Sweeny use the eye poke defense for the entire fight. He should be sacked. Hands out fingers splayed the other fighter had to be very careful not to lose an eye. Rubbish. Total rubbish.
Lost respect for sweeney and the ref. Keeping your hands open with fingers pointing out at arms reach. It's not the game. Paused at round 2 and hope sweeney gets a lesson
Both fighters are great in there own way but absolutely james connelly wpn that fight the crowd thete knew it the other bkb fighters knew it but more to the point jimmy Sweeney knew it look at his face at the end that was not a face of a winner james the true professional that he is took the decision made by the judge's on the chin didnt make a scene because he knows that he won onwards and upwards he being recognised by byb for his fight with nelson and going into the hall of fame in america 😊 Sweeney may ve called the king of bkb but he has never fought outside england to me that is not a king 😂 james can jold his head up high because he truly is a champion at this sport like many other bkb fighter's
I think Sweeney lost this one ...
He sure did but judges gave it to him so hed remain the champ
Concur!
Agree.
How
Indeed
Love Sweeney but this sure seemed like some judging bias in his favor on this one. I wish BKB adopted dirty boxing rules like the other bare knuckle promotions use.
BKB is fucking boring
Connelly was robbed
He pulled away in the second half, obviously yet another example why open scoring needs to be standard
No way did he win that ..not a chance ..there was some bad decision..from all the judges..connelly show him how to box ...what a rubbish result ..the best man lost !!
I had Connelly winning more rounds than he was given for sure. Great fight though.

If his got his lead hand out with his fingers extended straight out it makes it hard to come in Incase you get taken out with a finger. Poor reffing.
Sweeney clearly was the looser!!!
Great observation! I just could not get pass his fingers being almost in the mans face and sweeney not being told to close his hands!
Bkb do suck sweeney off.
Rigged?
Connelly Clearly won the boxing match. And the fight
Goofiest announcer on the planet.
ppffff ppffff tuuuuusshhhh😂😂
Thanks, a great fight. ✌🏻👊🏼

What the f . No way is that the correct result . Crap
I want some of what the ring announcer is on
Pure unfiltered adrenaline!
No,no,that was Connellys fight.The judges need to get their heads out of whoevers azz thier up and call the fight right.Connelly was robbed by the judges.RIGGED.
BKB has stepped their game up since i last checked in.
Were 2 of the judges called sweeney???
Question for the BK experts, In a traditional glove bout the jab is the main strike, why is it that BK fighters tend to not jab ?
You can break your hands so easily without gloves. Gotta pick your punches carefully. Big shots do the damage.
Throwing jabs all the time leaves you open for a defensive counter, either a right hook uppercut, etc.
Like the guy above, you need to be smart and pick your fights wisely and strike at the right time.
Two great fighters in amazing condition. I would have said Conelly all day though.
This is what happens when a good bkb promotion starts looking at it from nothing more than a revenue point of view. They all know that sweeney is the main draw on this platform, and they didn't want their cashcow getting beat again even if it means having the best man lose on the night.

Why does the announcer do that stupid noise before he switches over to the next fighter lol
It means it's a title fight...
Very bad, yes.
I was thinking the same thing wat a helmet lol 😂
Boring. Extended fingers 👎🏻
Jimmy's there golden boy we all know connelly won that fight!
*Good fight ... but Connelly won*
How to make sure your company isn't taken seriously - judging like that
My opinion James won 👊🏼
Bullshit
I totally disagree with that decision
great fight but Connelly won it!
I could tell these two guys had some decent boxing skills. Not like the horrible mismatches I've seen on some of the other BKB promotions just for the sake of having a fight card before their main fights make it to the ring.
C'mon we all know these fights are fixed, as proven by the result.
Close fight but wrong decision.
They play favorites with Sweeney and he needs to close his fingers hes gonna eye poke someone. Where is barry jones he will beat the fucking shit out of both of them hes the king.
Who is coming to peacock, from Across the glove to fight Mike Perry? Or does he go there first?
Sweeney lost that fight... Connelly won!!.. corrupted biased judges.
Robbed! Which rounds did sweeney win? 😂
Both warriors! love both of their fights They both always spill blood. But to be honest I was shocked at the end. Personally, I don't know if Sweeney had it. I think it should have went the other way and they definitely have to fight again
Clear robbery. I love Jimmy, and the judges must too.
The forward hands is not bareknuckle. The showboating buzzkilled most of the fight. BKB needs some work, no clinch work def adds to the mid feel overall.
I must have been watching another fight they got to the wrong decision I think
MUST HAVE BEEN WATCHING A DIFFERENT FIGHT
James and Jimmy, great fight.
Sweeney lost for sure no doubt about it. He ran from the other guy the entire fight
Sweeney knew he had lost hence the shock when his arm got raised ..a disgrace conelly cheated out of ghat decision
Connelly was robbed, clearly won 😮
R2 sweeny knew if he turned away thered be a timeout call.I didnt see no time out call when sweeny dirty ponched to bck of connelys head.Sweeny is a dirty fighter
Absolute JOKE. Sweetie lost that one.
Didn't know Theo Walcott became an MC 😂
Great fight , great sportsman, Sweeney got the decision but I wouldn't argue if it went the other way.Was super close whoever you pick.Hats off to both .Hope they get paid well they deserve it.👍👍
Great fighters
Real man’s game ✊
To all non fighters making comments, Jimmy is the world champion. To satisfy the judges in a world title fight, you need to win convincingly.
Win convincingly is the correct terminology
And it’s as simple as that
Rematch immediately
They just can't accept that Sweeneys time has come and gone, bit sad really. No matter who he fights, the announcers only ever credit jimmy through the fight. " Jimmy this, Jimmy that." And even when they do, they still spin it to end up talking about Jimmy.
great fight from two vets
Sweeny lost 😡
Why is he saying con nelly its connelly 😅
wow wrong decision
Robbed
Two tweeky tweeker’s out,having a fun night out 😂😁✨
19:36 = FACTS
Robbery
Wrong Call
*🏆 🥇 - 1st - 🥇 🏆* *🏆 🥇 - 1st - 🥇 🏆* *🏆 🥇 - 1st - 🥇 🏆*
That was a connelly win all day long! Look at the end of it he wasn't even beat up and Sweeney was a mess.
Bag of tosh judging.
Both great fighters but that was james win 💯
😂😂😂😂😂
Tite fight , we’ll done both men
Sweeney 5 out the 7 rounds. Busier in flurry’s. More active out the two.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fix
What a disappointing result!!! But I think Connely should have done more in the last round. Sweeny remained the attacker. Connely was surely winning the fight in the early 3 to 4 rounds and then faded a bit.
Didn’t like neither technique, I believe we have better bk fighters on the streets of Mississippi USA
Bent fight
Sweeney outbox team I mean the guy ran from him the guy who won the first two rounds but Sweeney's a way you know the guy wouldn't find him how can you say the guy want to fight he didn't want to fight
Thats the smallest ring i ever seen looks like 10ft sq
💪💪💪💪
The announcer is extra
Connely literally won 5rnds
What a scrap fkin hell 2 legends
The ref let Sweeny use the eye poke defense for the entire fight. He should be sacked. Hands out fingers splayed the other fighter had to be very careful not to lose an eye. Rubbish. Total rubbish.
Can't stand fighter's who fight with their fingers outstretched its cheating. Pure eyepokes and dangerous a.f. Naughty.
Lost respect for sweeney and the ref. Keeping your hands open with fingers pointing out at arms reach.
It's not the game. Paused at round 2 and hope sweeney gets a lesson
Well done Jimmy
I see the promotion is getting smaller need new fighters sign breet may and danny g and maybe scotty thr killer G🤣🤣🤣
100% sweeney got lucky!!
Both fighters are great in there own way but absolutely james connelly wpn that fight the crowd thete knew it the other bkb fighters knew it but more to the point jimmy Sweeney knew it look at his face at the end that was not a face of a winner james the true professional that he is took the decision made by the judge's on the chin didnt make a scene because he knows that he won onwards and upwards he being recognised by byb for his fight with nelson and going into the hall of fame in america 😊 Sweeney may ve called the king of bkb but he has never fought outside england to me that is not a king 😂 james can jold his head up high because he truly is a champion at this sport like many other bkb fighter's
Nothing like top dog,Russian bkf
Whats with sweenys fingers all the time very poor reffing
Nebuni😂😂😂
no way
Both juiced
Hernandez Melissa Smith Kenneth Hall Anna
You have to beat the king to win not much point throwing the jab for 7 rounds... long live the king 🤴 🇮🇪
Wtaf have I just watched sweeney never won a round Connelly far cleaner punches won easily .. seems Bkb is just as corrupt as pro boxing ffs ...
REMATCH!!!!!
I stopped watching because of the announcer
👍
That was a shit fight... 👎👎
yeah for real, now go watch any BKFC Mike Perry fight. in my opinion both these guys lost this fight.
Bullshit !
Sweeney won , James done well but lost the final 3/4 rounds
