He still managed to hit some hard shots with his left like the 2nd ko where fury got him in the body. No way that would have done damage had he had his fists halfway down his gloves. More than likely broken furys wrist.

Actually, if you look at it, Wilder dodges Fury's left hook (if his hand is in the glove normally). He essentially moves INTO the wrist, as that's usually a safe spot. But if you watch it in slow motion, Wilder is heavily affected by it, due to Fury's fist being down there instead of his wrist.

So it's bare knuckle (no padding) AND an unexpected/illegal punch that Wilder moved into based on false pretenses (that Fury had his glove on correctly).

You punch less hard with bare knuckles

That's definitely false. It's well known that the opposite is true, and I can tell you from experience, having punched with bare knuckle and with padding. You realize sparring gloves are heavier (more padding) specifically to make the punches lighter and less damaging right? That wouldn't make sense with your assertion.

what does bare-knuckle boxing have anything to do with what he posted?

you'd have be incredibly ignorant to believe a bare-knuckle punch hits harder than a glove

The post shows Fury bypassing the padding, which makes his hit the equivalent of bare knuckle. See above for bare knuckles hitting harder than a glove (it does).
