Ive got to hand it to Copeland, dude can take a beating and not lay down. That was brutal.
He also has a domestic history in which he beat the ever loving crap out of his girl that was 5’ 2” and a hundo soaking wet….
2:53 the fear sets in, beginning of the downfall. I dont get it. When I take a fist to the face, I go into a combination of berserk and survival mode. I firmly believe that anger elevates the senses. Some people get mad, others get scared.
they both have a chin. bring both guy back.
@@h0rk3dyeah I'm sure if Ben Rothwell hit you you'd just see red bro 😂
@@micahwest2793😅😂🤣🤣🤣👊💥
Great shout by the corner pulling him out .. Brutal fight .
They should have done it much earlier. He took a lot of unnecessary damage that will effect him
Those body punch and uppercut in the clinch by Ben were brutal 🤯
He tenderized the ribs more than pigs baby back ribs
Nah man it was just arm punches, like hes a big guy but doesnt know how yo throw a proper punch to save his life! Id bet any top 10 flyweight in the ufc would murk this guy
Dudes just big can't fight at all won't be long till he gets dropped that was like watching to guys in a bar absolutely s**t faced swinging at each over. 😂 BKFC needs to step it up
@@chrisa7409I doubt that lol
@@budman8926😂😂 bro Rothwell was a ranked UFC heavyweight. He definitely knows how to fight lmao.
Imagine waking up in the morning feeling any of those beatings. top dog stuff, absolutely madness
I'd count myself a lucky man, if I woke up after that.
Probably slept in late after that.
I would literally die with one of these punches
Me and you both. I am *not* built different.
You wouldn't. They're not as hard as they look. They really have pillow fists.
No you wouldn’t bruh, give yourself some credit
@@nah4215depends on your weight if your under 150 pounds these guys give you brain damage or kill you
@@J-SEMTEXfact bro 👊🏼👊🏼
Copeland’s ability to absorb heavy shot was insane
He is effectively brain dead, do the term “damage” is relative.
*Copeland gassed. What a fight! How do they take those punches!!!???* My ribs hurt just watching.
Adrenaline, the pain comes later
Right. Their ribs hurt too, in the locker room post-fight, LOL.
Doesnt take much to crack a rib
Ben Rothwell as a stud have been watching him for a decade and every fighting aspect he’s so underappreciated the pride of Milwaukee, Wisconsin
There’s nothing proud about Wisconsin, if you are from there you should stay there
Kenosha
@@ThugLifeBitches1best cheese in the world 🤣
That's the home of famous superstar Rich Evans.
He ko'd alistair overeem and tapped out josh barnett
Nice to see Big Ben still doing his thing quite a few years away from the UFC
Sad that he’s got to keep doing this to pay the bills. Guy should be laying on the beach somewhere drinking margaritas without a care
I thought that name rang a bell he is a former ufc fighter ben rothwell
Well. Doing someone's thing anyway.
What else is he going to do? He’s so brain damaged he could only find work as a door stop, a traffic bollard or a speed bump.
@@roblockhart8410the only maragarits he enjoys are the pizzas.
Those guys both really put on a show. Great fight. Huge hearts on display.
Big bens got alot of experience... he deserved that win
That was a beating. Rothwell is massive and those shots to the body and head were absolutely brutal.
The fighting world needs more of both of these men.
That Josh character was one tough dude. Dang.
Man it's hard to believe someone can take that many bombs. Both were throwing bombs. Absolute respect to these two gladiators 💯
A little reminiscent of Frye v. Takayama here! Both with half plumb and throwing!
,not even close to that !
@@craigm2484 Look up the definition of reminiscent, genius.
No losers in this fight. Both men are warriors. Glad to see Big Ben still throwing down. These men are beasts!! Again. No losers here. Just true men.
agreed
Copeland definitely lost😊
That was some fight. Hats off to both men for what was a war.
big ben is one of the toughest men ever made.
I was there in Denver that night both fighters are great it was a brutal match I remember hearing those punches landed by rothwell well up into the stands
Body shots sure make a LOT of sense in bare knuckle. Unlike the head you can go full force and not break your hands.
Rothwell's style is kind of weird but damn it's effective. He is an absolute monster on the inside.
You could see after that first knock down that Copeland was tired, he stopped holding his guard and that’s when rothwell started to drown him with pressure. Copeland did great at first but he needs better cardio
I was thinking the same thing, basically. Fight looked to go Copeland's way until he starting getting tired and got rocked.
Getting knocked down can kill your cardio genius.
wow! i cannot even imagine how rattling and damaging an uppercut to the chin would be from either of these guys, especially as they are pulling down on the back of your head/neck with their other hand. the fact that both these brutes kept their determination and their feet beneath them throughout multiple such blows is highly impressive. those punches would literally kill some people.
even honey badgers were impressed with the toughness and durability they witnessed watching copeland eat ben’s clinch beating.
Can we take a moment to appreciate this beautiful fight absolutely good on both sides this is worth my time and money
Thumbnail needs new caption: "Two Bears disagree over porridge temperatures, Domestic Dispute."
The fact Copeland walked(stumbled) back to his corner still on foot was unbelievable.
Dan is doing such a great job reffing these fights. Him and Mike Perry are perfect for the sport.
Crazy punishment taken by that dude. Amazing
Love to see UFC legends still fighting in other sports years later Ben was always fun to watch he's a monster!
Coleland had maybe 2 fights in UFC What a legend he is 😂😂
“punch it out!” by the ref is amazing 😂
Geezuz, these guys got chins
WHAT A FIGHT!!!!!!!!! holy crap, I'm starting to like this more than any other combat sport
Man there was more fighting in 2 rounds of this fight than most full bkfc fights I don't think I've seen 2 heavyweights bang this good
Epic fight. The best BK fight I've seen yet!!
2 absolute Warriors 💯 Respect
Both very very very tuff blokes , I have taken a few big kicks and punches in my life but these two blokes Whooop meeeee in the 1st round ❤
This is how fights should be. One of the best fights I've ever seen!!
Great stoppage by Copeland's corner.
Hard to see big Ben look so unprepared. Even if he won looked like he wanted to throw some knees at times
Lol I seen that bro. I'm the later round. He had him in a clinch and almost needed him hard
BKFC has come a long way. That was a great heavyweight fight. Both guys took some good shots.
That was an awesome exciting fight! Plain and simple!🧐😳
💪 awesome video thanks 🖤👍😎
The clinch boxing was excellent. Every punch was hitting the sweet spot. Ben is a monster still.
Hell of a fight. Good work guys.
God damn. I bet Copeland was feeling those body shots after the fight…
Rothwell and Copeland, are both Great WARRIOR'S. When we lost matches, it doesn't make Us Cowards.
Rothwell said he had a torn bicep so had to keep it close and could only use 50% of his power but kept going 😮 50% imagine 100% 🤯 big Ben Rothwell is a force now in the bkfc he hits you flush your in trouble anyone in the bkfc
Seriously ?!!? 😮 It's crazy bro! Big Ben Always was an absolute SAVAGE !
Honestly one of the best fights i have seen from this promotion.
Dam. This is a helluva fight. Credit to Copeland, he is a scrappy guy. Big Ben has enormous power. Both men are tough as nails. Great fight. This gets a honeybadger award for being tough af.
Wish we had this in Sweden 20 years ago... Would maybe kept me out of prison so much
Ben’s fight name should defo be the yetti
Copeland was landing well early but he was noticeably timid from the first bell. The second Ben connected with a few Copeland was done. Ben was coming forward the entire fight and never stopped. Copeland seemed unprepared for that level of pressure and looked noticeably uncomfortable
Yeah, we all saw the fight!
The holding and hitting allowed in bare knuckle was the factor. The bigger taller guy can just lurch over, grab the back of the neck and pummel. Shouldn't be allowed
Thank god they called that fight I genuinely felt bad watching him get battered in the clinch he’s one hell of a warrior though refused to go down
Both dudes earned their money there. Nothing left outside the ring. Bravo gents.
At first I thought I saw Braun Strowman vs Kevin Owens and laugh until I read the title lol, my brightness is also down all the way!
I swear, after few combos from Ben poor Josh's mind forgot where's the floor . I suppose that's why Josh couldn't just to lay down and die🤯
😅he forgot where the floor was😂🤣🤣🤣💥👊
Rothwell was about to use those knees almost forgetting it's not UFC.😄
Rothwel is what a true fighter looks like.
One of the best fights I’ve ever seen
Rothwell's fight IQ = potato
Dude's entire fight strategy was "I'm bigger than him". 🤣
@@MikeAugustinetrue
You=
heavyweight bkb ≠ mma
You must of not watched him in the UFC then because he is far from a dummy.
I can't believe they had exchanges like that!
I feel like big ben belongs in the pioneer division of ufc's hall of fame. He's been fighting ufc level talent for over twenty years now. A lot of those matches weren't in the ufc tho which is a big reason he doesn't get the respect he deserves from the MMA community. He fought tim silvia in both of their second and/or third fight in a freaking bar. It was a legit MMA match but it was hosted by some no name promotion in an actual bar.
Amazing fight...BKFC is underrated, hope it survives
YOOOO what a fight man WOW💯💯💪💪
The more of these I watch, the more it's clear gloves make it much easier to knock someone out
Totally right, but some fighters would mentally quit from these cuts, it’s painful
That’s some big dudes there man holy crap
My orbital bone broke watching this...😮
Copeland is literally as freekin tough as they come! Great fight by both warriors💪😎👍
Can we just talk about the Defense? So many of those massive shots effortlessly blocked/absorbed with their faces..... Animals....
Credit to both of these warriors. Wow
Im a believer in playing a sport doesnt make someone tough.....except bare knuckle boxing. Even if you lose 5 fights in a row, your a badass doing this.
Absolute beasts. Damn. Very entertaining. Frightening clinch work.
Heck of a fight!
One heck of a heavy weight fight till the 3rd. Copeland still stand makes him a heck of a man. Those body shots were brutal
Respect !! 🫡 what a fight!
Rothwell was so relieved. He thought he was about to lose.
7:01 *BABY RUUUUUTH* 😂❤
I know I wasn’t born with a spirit of fear, but of peace and a sound mind; but one punch from Rothwell and I think I may pass away
Big Ben was born for Bare knuckle
The best BK fight I've seen yet!!
Me to Copeland- "HEY pal! Are you look'n at MY WIFE?" Copeland- "Yeah, what're you gonna do about it!?" Me- "Here's the keys to my truck and my credit card.....she likes Italian food. Have a great night!!"
Wow...thought it would be boring. .. Rothwell n Copeland are beasts...thought Big Ben could take a beating but Copeland took a double beating last round ..wow
You could tell Rothwell wanted to throw knees in the Clinch but then he Forgot that this Wasnt MMA 😂
This was a war!! Ben Rothwell is the man 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oh damn bens a monsta great to see him work again
BKFC is so much more exiciting than regular boxing.
I'm a fan of Big Ben. I've always rooted for him during is UFC years. I like his stye.
Do open palm strikes give an advantage, especially in a longer fight?
Thanks. ✌🏻👊🏼
Battle of the beards💯😂😂
One of those uppercut from Ben and I’m dead 😂
That was insane
What a fight 👊🏻👊🏻
Nod to Copeland and his corner. I feel like the towel was late, but excellent fight none the less
I know this matchup would never happen. I would love to see Lorenzo Hunt vs Ben Rothwell.
Why would you want to see Hunt getting beat up..?
@@hondasarefaster5914Are there any fights with Ben fighting someone his own size?
It’s like watching a couple of wild bears fighting over territory
Absolutely outstanding, dude just couldn't go down.
Yes, very glad the corner threw the towel, he just wasn't going to go down. We all like to see a good scrap but body shots from a guy like Ben Rothwell is the sort of thing that can kill you later from an abdominal bleed or whatever. Good call.
@@AlasdairThompson very true
He forgot where the floor was 😅😂🤣🤣🤣💥💯
@ 4:51 guy says "OK ! To the next, round NUMBER 3! I'M like wtf, how can they continue looking like ground beef? Moder life Gladiators 👍
Damn that was brutal
