Much respect for mr happy , what a lovely fella , takes a real man to admit that he felt scared his motivation for fighting , the inner struggles are the hardest to overcome .👍🏻
Anyone else find it hilarious that Gypsy Boy just hangs out with his friends, drinking Guinness, showed up late, and drunk, and still won the fight? Meanwhile the American fighter trained in wing chun and meditated for weeks, getting massages, only to get knocked out.
+BatmanBinSuparman That's because any real American fighter (or British or Irish) wouldn't fight in a shit bar like that for nothing. The good fighters are fighting in the UFC or rolling other MMA matches. This has nothing to do with which country has better fighters, these are just guys who never made it in boxing and who aren't in good enough shape to fight MMA. Nothing against them, its some tough shit to get in a ring with no gloves, these guys can take a punch, but its not indicative of who has better fighters.

Bare knuckle boxing in Britain has existed since forever. My great grandfather used to do this back in the 1890s in regular pubs. I have lots of family members who talk of their fathers and grandads who talk of this.
Just me that loves how this British lad from Newcastle with his beer belly absolutely ruined this bloke who was treating it like the most important fight in history 😂

Love "Happy James", his found attitude, his ability to reflect honestly about his own life and deeds. The "Stevo"-Equivalent of Bare-Knuckle. Good man!
Mccrory, the UK fighter, was pretty smart to arrive late, drunk, and from a football game because it made the American feel even more certain than he already was that he would win and so he expired all of his energy early on with lots of punches while Mccrory just guarded his head with his hands. Then in what I think was the second round Mcrory could take him down pretty easily seen as he was exhausted from all of those punches
I'm American, and I'm actual happy the Irish fighter won. He was a much nicer guy, and deserved the win. The American came over, and acted like he was hot shit but he found out he wasn't.

@@Costy-uy3iu I see what he is trying to do. I used to be mean too and at some point I decided that I am going to be nice. I do think it throws some people off but it's a dedication to spreading goodness in the world instead of suffering.
Hey there. Well, that's your perception. In his video (Mr Happy sequence) and during the interview, I felt he was authentic, genuinely friendly. He was also articulate. Nothing to be scared of, on the contrary, he seems trustworthy (wouldn't do no harm unless he's attacked). Had I not watched this vid I would have no clue about what he did. Only one thing would tell me to be cautious : so many tattoos. As to the angry, aggressive people you mentioned, they might "impress" but usually they're not the "street predators" you should be concerned with.
I went to a bare knuckle fight here in Vegas, and the main event went on for almost an hour. The rules were knockout, or quit. No time limit. It was between this Irish brawler, and African bushman. It was a brutal fight. The African won with a miraculous left haymaker.
@@B.OKwithShay he’s from Newcastle Upon Tyne, born and bread. He lived behind me for about 10 years when I was a kid. He has family in Ireland but he is from Newcastle.
How hilarious that someone pretends bare knuckle fighting was 'invented' anywhere. I imagine it was invented a million times over by every impulsive primate that ever got angry.
i doubt that cavemen fought with fists, in the "primitive" animal kingdom fighting within the same species usually means a ranking fight (who is the alpha etc.) and human bodies are created to wrestle, not to box. When you see to kids playfighting, you don't see them throwing light punches but they instead they wrestle, because that's the natural human fighting style.
@@pet3r387 I believe you never had a fight in your life as child nor as adult. fist is the most natural and ready arm you have. it allows you to keep distance. first you hit, than you wrestle. that's for now for yesterday and for the paleolitic.
i know this is totally unrelated, but i totally love the British countryside and architecture and overall vibe i get from seeing vids of British cities/streets.
+Iridescent Noise Everyone else here is engaging in chauvhinistic flaming and you're admiring the beauty of the English countryside... very commendable!
+Iridescent Noise Me 2 man, also like their accent. Also like the Irish accent its hardly understandable that is what it makes so cool 2 hear for some reason to me.
marlb0r015 yea i like their accent as well. It is especially sexy coming from a woman. I can imagine my self walking down that road by the british river at night. Seems so. Awesome lol. Some day... :) As they say, dont let your dreams be dreams.
This wasn't what I expected. It's much more complicated than we like to think. It's about people on a journey trying to deal with demons in their heads and choosing to channel their fear and anger off the streets so that they're no longer harming innocent people. They're all real people and you can empathise with them. I don't think it's a sport but I understand why people do it. I was once into competing in kickboxing and probably did it for same reasons as them. Trying to rationalise irrational impulses. That James guy was a proper legend though 😁
The dude who fought the guy 20 years older should feel honored and humbled that a man that much older was able to withstand that punishment and still deliver
@Kaide Evans man against man, dunno how it is around there, but if you pick the wrong guy you're gonna get teamed like a mofo. (also the danger of everyone having knifes).
I have absolutely nothing except my upmost respect for the British and Irish, and absolutely honored to have the UK and Ireland as our allies! Greeting from NYC
I thinks we should bring back london prize ring rules and fight on barges out on the hudson like god intended. Im from Massachusetts and theirs a spot in eastern ny that was once part of Massachusetts that a prizefight was held and because of that one fight it was gifted to ny state because the Massachusetts state police couldn’t patrol that one spot. Boston commons i beilive was name and i think it was the john c heenan morissy fight in 1860s
When I watch videos like this I'm always left with the impression that the fighter is a complete bell-end but that Geordie guy seemed like a really nice down to earth guy... To be honest, he shocked me in the fight as he didn't look particularly hard in everyday life but in that make-shift ring he was an absolute beast!
I follow MMA and dabble in training. Specifically Muay Thai and BJJ. The coolest and most humble people you can meet are combat athletes in person. Training and obviously fighting humble you.
@@NahuleneyMarty Look yankee doodle. Mr. Happy was surprisingly articulate and obviously intelligent. Probably had a very shit childhood. Your obviously just sore coz ya bald eagle got turned into a pigeon.
There is also a strong link between this video and the Fraud video Vice posted in which Dave Courtney features who is often in and around the BKB scene.
Yank shows up with his own version of Mr. Miyagi. Loses his cool when he's stood up. Enter, the Drunk bareknuckle gypsie boxing champion bowls in looking like he can barely stand. Yank Gets a few good digs in first round then gets medicined in the second round. Thought I was watching a guy richie flick lol.
Some people say bareknuckle is safer than using gloves, due to less overall blows to the head. Similar to American football, where pads and helmets give the player the confidence to tackle much harder due to the protective gear used.
When the guy that "trained with Bruce Lee" breaks the wood board you can clear see it's been cut to the edge just look how clean it is till the edge and the direction of the cut
@@ken244 of course it is not a big deal even for people who are not karate trained but who know to fight..anyhow i must admit that cut looks strange to clean but maybe it's just such peace of wood...
@@ken244 We used to break those pine boards in 1st-3rd grade wood shop class in Elementary school. None of my mates or me had any training in anything and we were 7-9 years old(depending on the year/class). Most of the boards gave way very easily, after one of my classmates hurt his arm(after we'd all done it dozens and dozens of times) the teacher forbade us from doing that. I'm sure if someone showed us some proper techniques we would've chewed through the pine board refuse pile like a bunch of hungry termites.
I have been in combat sports since 10 years; fought & won in national and international full contact competitions. No way, however, would I ever fight in such bare knuckle matches. I salute these amazing warriors!! Their iron-clad, indomitable mindset is truly dauntingly humbling 🙏👏👏👏👍👌
I don't see the allure of it all. You run the risk of permanent damage to your hands, permanent damage to your brain, even death. Why is that preferred over using gloves? Is it manly to cripple yourself or other people?
@@donmiller2908 Although bare Knuckle is aesthetically 'more violent', it is, in the final estimation less violent than gloved boxing. While gloved boxing mitigates cuts and bruising, the padding around the first allows punching with more force; i.e, greater concussive power. It's having your brain rocked inside your skull that screws you up in the long run. A broken finger or a black eye is not as bad.
@@tomc4187 You said that the padding around the fist allows punching with more force; i.e, greater concussive power. I disagree, What would cause more damage, being hit in the face with a brink or being hit with a brink wrapped in a towel? There was an actor named James Cagney who wrote in his autobiography that he was a serious advocate for bare knuckle boxing. His reasoning was that knockouts or others blows that would end the fight occur faster in bare knuckle fighting, thus causing the fight to end sooner and thus causing less trauma to the brain than being hit in the head for 15 rounds. I suppose there is some logic to that.
@@jamielee9350 It's a small rectangular block, usually made of clay and fired, thus making it hard. It's used in the building trades. Haven't you ever heard of the three little pigs? And how pig three made his home from brinks? Where have you been? I've also heard it used to describe people who are stupid. As in "That guy is think as a Brink"
The American guy actually dropped some pretty good bombs on that guy but after the break the guy was able to regain some strength and turn it around. It wasn't like a one-sided fight at all, that's for sure. Big props to both fighters....
Actually, the Irish guy is really smart. He showed up late most likely on purpose to build up some tention inside his opponent's head and make him nervous. He then proceed to just protect his face without fighting to make him throw useless punches and get tired before attacking. He won the fight before it even begins.
My first trip to Wolverhampton in the West Midlands, some local came up to me and asked, "you want to fight, mate?" That was my second day in the UK and I realized England was awesome.
My Good m8 Scott is the great, great, great, great, (or there abouts) grandson of British bare knuckle champion Tom Sayers, who fought America's champion John C Heenan on April 17 1860 in a field near Farnborough in the first ever fight between champions from the UK & the USA..The fight ended in a riot with Heenan being chased by a crowd, he throttled Sayers on the ropes which the fans cut, amazingly the fight continued for 5 more rounds before mayhem struck. I was reading my Pictorial History of Boxing when Scott visited and he told me about it, his eyes popped when I told him it was in the book, no photographs but some nice old school illustrations well drawn. He took the book home to show his family. I had known him for 27 years and it never came up, and Scott is a top bloke. Just a nice little story that is relevant to this video, thanks and all the best to everyone 💯👍 PS, both Fighters were given belts
Samiad In The Mist It is the top comment. To proportion of when people have actually watched this video, this comment has received the most attention. Most of the views would have been when it first came out, and this comment was posted 2 months ago. Add to that the fact that not everyone speaks video game, and I cannot for the life of me fathom how you could possibly expect it to have more attention. In fact, you must have posted that comment straight after the OP's comment. You have taken nothing into account other than the fact that there were no likes on the comment yet.
Thank you for this excellent & insightful video. I was particularly impressed with James Lambert, what an amazing transformation this man has made, I truly hope he can continue to grow spiritually.
this guy looks like he hasn't made a situp in his life and all he does all day is eating Boxty and drinking Guinness, and yet he kicked that bulk's ass. Incredible!!
Not incredible at all, this is the lowest of the low when it comes to combat sports. It's basically just a glorified schoolyard fight, except in schoolyards you may have kids who train combat sports so the schoolyard fight is actually more impressive than the fight with the loudest shouting at the end there where some $3 belt was being tossed around.
Your Google search of 'what do Irish people eat?' failed spectacularly. The only people that eat 'Boxty' are tourists in rip-off Temple Bar restaurants mate.
@@deluxedjsireland224 thanks for being honest, now I know I failed desperately in trying not to be a generic tourist in Dublin :D What would you consider a proper authentic Irish national meal?
@@kooroshrostami27 I know you could be taking the piss out of me but in case you're not there's a few specific to Dublin (or more associated with Dublin than the rest of the country), one is Coddle which is a kind of slow cooked stew of meat and potatoes, also on St Patricks Day there's a tradition among older people to have Corned Beef, Cabbage and Potatoes for dinner. Strong, loose leaf tea (a brand like Lyons, which was originally Irish) would be served with apple tart and cream, or 'brack' (teacake) with butter or jam. Breakfast would be porridge with jam or sugar on top, or a 'fry' - sausages, rashers (bacon), black and white pudding, eggs and toast, it would be known as 'the full Irish breakfast' in the same vein as 'the full English'.
For people saying the main guy is Irish, he’s English. He’s a Geordie (Newcastle) he has some family in Ireland but most people have family in another country, doesn’t mean their from there. If you’re born and raised in England, you’re English. Plus Geordies are some of the most patriotic Englishman in the country.
He’s a Irish traveller it’s likely all of his family is from Ireland and they go back and forth he is definitely not English and some Irish don’t even treat Irish travellers as if they were Irish they are discriminated against a lot
Lesson learned, no matter how good you've prepared, never underestimate your opponent due to his lifestyle. He might be a drunk, no six pack and all but will knock you out once in the ring. Just like Mike Tyson says, everyone had a plan before he got punched in the head. Now I understand
@@allosaurusfragilis7782 Exactly lol. You can be 6’6” and built like a brick shithouse but you might just find someone who can take every punch you can throw at them and then knock you on your ass.
That was a good fight. Everyone thought the American guy was going to win because of his muscles and training. But nope it was the guy drunk on Guinness!!!😊
***** In real life, real Mexicans are mean fighters. They aren't all small. I just got back from DF, it looks just like LA with more crime and speed bumps.
The smooth, sweet talking , biker gypsy. Turns out to be a 3 time bare knuckle boxing champion! Which makes him harder than a brass nail! - snatch movie!
How could you get that quote so wrong? its It turned out that the sweet-talking, tattoo-sporting pikey was a gypsy bare-knuckle boxing champion. Which makes him harder than a coffin nail.
Mr happy is even more intimidating, you can tell by his body language that he can rock some fool, but his candor and cadence is so mellow and controlled. Could be an evil genius but chooses to do good.
As an American, I love this guy's accent! It's beautiful to hear, though I have to concentrate to understand it. I served in the Peace Corps in Belize (formerly British Honduras). There were UK soldiers stationed there. There was a Scottish division and I could not understand a single word!
***** Dudes, why noone has thought of the possibility that this guy might be there just because he is a famous figure of the underworld and that he could be getting involved with a lot of shady underground operations such as these fights.. I'm just pointing out a possible scenario
Love how the ref for the big fight is Shaun aka the scariest debt collector and one of the other bare knuckle fighters is one of the guys from the reoffending teens episode - id like to think that a lot of the vice guys just went to a bare knuckle fight night and organised their entire rule britannia series from there
Who else spotted the cameos from the other VICE-docs? Shaun and his self-harming friend from "Britain's Scariest Debt Collector" and the guy from the reoffenders doc?

This is more like it vice, a good documentary.
they tend to bring a few around after they upload all the bullshit

Mr.Happy is a great example of the power of self reflection and introspection.
"Mr Happy's" overly-friendly persona scares me more than the angry aggressive people. Unsettling.
Captain Crook IKR it feels really weird and watching him call himself mr happy it just gets a bit too creepy
@@Costy-uy3iu I see what he is trying to do. I used to be mean too and at some point I decided that I am going to be nice. I do think it throws some people off but it's a dedication to spreading goodness in the world instead of suffering.
because deep down he's still tan aggressive monster that can explode at any time
its because you know hes capable of doing terrible things, thats what makes him truly good person
Hey there. Well, that's your perception. In his video (Mr Happy sequence) and during the interview, I felt he was authentic, genuinely friendly. He was also articulate. Nothing to be scared of, on the contrary, he seems trustworthy (wouldn't do no harm unless he's attacked). Had I not watched this vid I would have no clue about what he did. Only one thing would tell me to be cautious : so many tattoos. As to the angry, aggressive people you mentioned, they might "impress" but usually they're not the "street predators" you should be concerned with.
I went to a bare knuckle fight here in Vegas, and the main event went on for almost an hour. The rules were knockout, or quit. No time limit. It was between this Irish brawler, and African bushman. It was a brutal fight. The African won with a miraculous left haymaker.
sick
Salt McSalt
Damn a hour both the Irish Brawler and the African Bushman some tough motherfuckers
shit loads of stamina.
Liked James (Mr.Happy) quite a lot. Cool Man, learned from his experiences, willing to share. Right on
Dude he had so much heart. The end of the fight felt like a Snatch fight. Even the punches sounded like they added sound effects.

How hilarious that someone pretends bare knuckle fighting was 'invented' anywhere. I imagine it was invented a million times over by every impulsive primate that ever got angry.
There's a difference between a fist fight and qn organized reffed fight.
@@jamesforsyth418 no there's no difference, like between the ancient greeks wrestlers and organized olimpic wrestling fghts, one comes from the other.
i doubt that cavemen fought with fists, in the "primitive" animal kingdom fighting within the same species usually means a ranking fight (who is the alpha etc.) and human bodies are created to wrestle, not to box.
When you see to kids playfighting, you don't see them throwing light punches but they instead they wrestle, because that's the natural human fighting style.
@@pet3r387 I believe you never had a fight in your life as child nor as adult. fist is the most natural and ready arm you have. it allows you to keep distance. first you hit, than you wrestle. that's for now for yesterday and for the paleolitic.

+Iridescent Noise Everyone else here is engaging in chauvhinistic flaming and you're admiring the beauty of the English countryside... very commendable!
Paradigm Arson haha i like foreign lands they have a mysterious beauty about them that inspire my dreams and imagination.
+Iridescent Noise Me 2 man, also like their accent. Also like the Irish accent its hardly understandable that is what it makes so cool 2 hear for some reason to me.
marlb0r015 yea i like their accent as well. It is especially sexy coming from a woman. I can imagine my self walking down that road by the british river at night. Seems so. Awesome lol. Some day... :) As they say, dont let your dreams be dreams.
+Iridescent Noise I'd say that Britain is noticeably more depressing as soon as you arrive. Holland has by far the best atmosphere and people
This wasn't what I expected. It's much more complicated than we like to think. It's about people on a journey trying to deal with demons in their heads and choosing to channel their fear and anger off the streets so that they're no longer harming innocent people. They're all real people and you can empathise with them. I don't think it's a sport but I understand why people do it. I was once into competing in kickboxing and probably did it for same reasons as them. Trying to rationalise irrational impulses. That James guy was a proper legend though 😁
The dude who fought the guy 20 years older should feel honored and humbled that a man that much older was able to withstand that punishment and still deliver
Most Brits are bare knuckle fighters after 7 pints and a few insults.
It's our culture m9

Knockout
Some people say bareknuckle is safer than using gloves, due to less overall blows to the head. Similar to American football, where pads and helmets give the player the confidence to tackle much harder due to the protective gear used.

None of my mates or me had any training in anything and we were 7-9 years old(depending on the year/class). Most of the boards gave way very easily, after one of my classmates hurt his arm(after we'd all done it dozens and dozens of times) the teacher forbade us from doing that. I'm sure if someone showed us some proper techniques we would've chewed through the pine board refuse pile like a bunch of hungry termites.

I have been in combat sports since 10 years; fought & won in national and international full contact competitions. No way, however, would I ever fight in such bare knuckle matches. I salute these amazing warriors!! Their iron-clad, indomitable mindset is truly dauntingly humbling 🙏👏👏👏👍👌
I don't see the allure of it all. You run the risk of permanent damage to your hands, permanent damage to your brain, even death. Why is that preferred over using gloves?
Is it manly to cripple yourself or other people?
@@donmiller2908 Although bare Knuckle is aesthetically 'more violent', it is, in the final estimation less violent than gloved boxing. While gloved boxing mitigates cuts and bruising, the padding around the first allows punching with more force; i.e, greater concussive power. It's having your brain rocked inside your skull that screws you up in the long run. A broken finger or a black eye is not as bad.
@@tomc4187 You said that the padding around the fist allows punching with more force; i.e, greater concussive power. I disagree, What would cause more damage, being hit in the face with a brink or being hit with a brink wrapped in a towel?
There was an actor named James Cagney who wrote in his autobiography that he was a serious advocate for bare knuckle boxing. His reasoning was that knockouts or others blows that would end the fight occur faster in bare knuckle fighting, thus causing the fight to end sooner and thus causing less trauma to the brain than being hit in the head for 15 rounds.
I suppose there is some logic to that.
@@donmiller2908 One question for you... WTF is a "brink" ?🤣🤣🤣
@@jamielee9350 It's a small rectangular block, usually made of clay and fired, thus making it hard. It's used in the building trades. Haven't you ever heard of the three little pigs? And how pig three made his home from brinks? Where have you been?
I've also heard it used to describe people who are stupid. As in "That guy is think as a Brink"
Did anybody else notice that "the scariest debt collector" from one of Vice's other documentaries was reffing the fight ? 😂
LOOOL I JUST REALIZED. Dude I am beginning to think this is all made up stories by Vice. Shit seems to crazy to be true

He's a "underground" boxing promoter .

how did I know the american would get the shit beat out of him
You didn't, but you'll claim that you did now that you saw the video.
TheWhiteGuy82 I did know, it doesn't seem too likely that a yank could come here and do too well in a bare knuckle fight
manofknowledge1000 Lol, you ma'am, need to grow up some.
The American guy actually dropped some pretty good bombs on that guy but after the break the guy was able to regain some strength and turn it around. It wasn't like a one-sided fight at all, that's for sure. Big props to both fighters....
***** watch out people!?!? we've got a black belt keyboard warrior on our hands.
Actually, the Irish guy is really smart. He showed up late most likely on purpose to build up some tention inside his opponent's head and make him nervous. He then proceed to just protect his face without fighting to make him throw useless punches and get tired before attacking.
He won the fight before it even begins.
He’s not Irish

My Good m8 Scott is the great, great, great, great, (or there abouts) grandson of British bare knuckle champion Tom Sayers, who fought America's champion John C Heenan on April 17 1860 in a field near Farnborough in the first ever fight between champions from the UK & the USA..The fight ended in a riot with Heenan being chased by a crowd, he throttled Sayers on the ropes which the fans cut, amazingly the fight continued for 5 more rounds before mayhem struck. I was reading my Pictorial History of Boxing when Scott visited and he told me about it, his eyes popped when I told him it was in the book, no photographs but some nice old school illustrations well drawn. He took the book home to show his family. I had known him for 27 years and it never came up, and Scott is a top bloke. Just a nice little story that is relevant to this video, thanks and all the best to everyone 💯👍

Gypsy blood too much heart and natural ability
Not incredible at all, this is the lowest of the low when it comes to combat sports. It's basically just a glorified schoolyard fight, except in schoolyards you may have kids who train combat sports so the schoolyard fight is actually more impressive than the fight with the loudest shouting at the end there where some $3 belt was being tossed around.
Your Google search of 'what do Irish people eat?' failed spectacularly. The only people that eat 'Boxty' are tourists in rip-off Temple Bar restaurants mate.
@@deluxedjsireland224 thanks for being honest, now I know I failed desperately in trying not to be a generic tourist in Dublin :D What would you consider a proper authentic Irish national meal?
@@kooroshrostami27 I know you could be taking the piss out of me but in case you're not there's a few specific to Dublin (or more associated with Dublin than the rest of the country), one is Coddle which is a kind of slow cooked stew of meat and potatoes, also on St Patricks Day there's a tradition among older people to have Corned Beef, Cabbage and Potatoes for dinner. Strong, loose leaf tea (a brand like Lyons, which was originally Irish) would be served with apple tart and cream, or 'brack' (teacake) with butter or jam. Breakfast would be porridge with jam or sugar on top, or a 'fry' - sausages, rashers (bacon), black and white pudding, eggs and toast, it would be known as 'the full Irish breakfast' in the same vein as 'the full English'.
For people saying the main guy is Irish, he’s English. He’s a Geordie (Newcastle) he has some family in Ireland but most people have family in another country, doesn’t mean their from there. If you’re born and raised in England, you’re English. Plus Geordies are some of the most patriotic Englishman in the country.
He’s a Irish traveller it’s likely all of his family is from Ireland and they go back and forth he is definitely not English and some Irish don’t even treat Irish travellers as if they were Irish they are discriminated against a lot
Lesson learned, no matter how good you've prepared, never underestimate your opponent due to his lifestyle. He might be a drunk, no six pack and all but will knock you out once in the ring.
Just like Mike Tyson says, everyone had a plan before he got punched in the head. Now I understand
And ironically Tyson underestimated James "Buster" Douglas and got KO'D.
As AJ found out with that mexican
@@allosaurusfragilis7782
Exactly lol. You can be 6’6” and built like a brick shithouse but you might just find someone who can take every punch you can throw at them and then knock you on your ass.
