Lucas Browne is now 1-0 in the bare-knuckle world, but the path to Gustavo Trujillo and the BKB heavyweight crown the latter holds is clearly quite intriguing for Browne. The former boxing champion made his debut into the world of no-gloves fighting when Browne scored a finish over Corey Harrison at BKB 45 in September.
The win moved Browne into the top five of the BKB rankings as he looks to continue charting a path with the aim of becoming a two-sport champion. When asked about his thoughts on BKB heavyweight champion Gustavo Trujillo, who came shortly after Lucas Browne’s bare-knuckle victory and was not in a context where Browne was aligned to fight Trujillo, Browne said [via Bare Knuckle Bowker],
“I’ll be honest, I just looked at it. I haven’t dived into it yet, but he looks great. Yeah, and that’s the beauty of the bare knuckle. Like it doesn’t take much. If you catch the right moment and/or moment, it’s definitely a knockout. But at the very least you’re doing some kind of damage that will inevitably end up in the fight, like eventually. So I like what I see from him, but I don’t have that much yet watched as I should have.
Gustavo Trujillo and Lucas Browne can throw at BKB 48
Lucas Browne will now likely do a real deep dive into the tape study element for Gustavo Trujillo as the two will end the year battling for the BKB crown. When a title challenger vacancy popped up on BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing’s card in November, the former regular WBA champion filled the spot to clash with ‘The Cuban Assassin’.
BKB 48 takes place in Florida on November 22, with Gustavo Trujillo now defending his crown against Lucas Browne after a former BKB champion was forced to withdraw. Tony Johnson Jr. was the fighter in question and he previously held the BKB interim heavyweight belt. The return of Tony Johnson Jr. in the world of gloveless fighting, however, was halted, at least for now, because Johnson Jr. suffered an injury against Amir Aliakbari in the ACA cage.
Gustavo Trujillo has a 7-0 barefoot record with a one hundred percent final rating and has scored victories against the likes of Lorenzo Hunt, Mike Kyle and Ike Villanueva, to name a few.
