Lightweight boxer Dat Nguyen (20-3, 7 KOs) won in a five-round bare-knuckle fight against MMA fighter Travis Thompson on Saturday night at Florida State Fairgrounds Entertainment Hall in Tampa, Florida.
“Dat Be Dat” controlled the contest from the outset, landing the cleaner punches and using his superior defense to cruise to a 50-45, 50-45, 49-46 unanimous decision.
This was Nguyen’s first ring action since stopping Miguel Flores in February 2017. Flores is fighting Leo Santa Cruz for the WBA super featherweight world championship next month.
In the main event, heavyweight Gabriel Gonzaga knocked out Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva in the second round.
A real toe to toe “Old School” exhibition!! Great show, well worth the $39.99 PPV.. BKFC is the Real Deal!!
I was working and unfortunately didn’t get an opportunity to watch the Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva vs. Gabriel Gonzaga bareknuckle bout, as a fan of both warriors. I met Gabe a few years ago, and can attest that he’s a dynamite guy! Hope “Bigfoot”‘s o.k., but glad that Gabe won!
