Lol I just came to the comments after hitting the 44 min mark and thinking it was ending. Then I realized it was 3 hours. I ain't mad about it... but I am presently surprised.

The Georgian period was nuts, way out there in both social custom and in sports interest. Just about anything went!

That library is INCREDIBLE!❤

Grew up watching my dad bare knuckle fight. By the time he was 40, he could hardly write. Lucky my mom was a nurse practitioner and I believe that kept him fighting longer than most. He passed away in 2021 from alcoholic cirrhosis. He wasnt a great dad most of the time but he was a good boxer.

I would know that fellow Yorkshire accent anywhere! Mr Sean Bean, hello!😂✌️💜🇬🇧

He's from Handsworth. I always remember that because he was Hand of the King in GoT.

Is that the great Sean Beans' Voice.

I had no idea that women were involved in bare-knuckle boxing in Georgian London. It’s amazing how they defied the social norms and expectations of their time and fought for their own survival and dignity. I admire their courage and skill.

Women bare-knuckle street fighting for their survival and dignity? Errm, what they were doing was and is a total indignity for women. And lots of poor women survived without becoming a boxer or a prostitute. Particularly if they relied on God. There's no genuine excuse for certain professions.

Ah, yeah, but if men defied societal norms.. How dare he? It looks special because it's women, but I bet one modern transwoman would crush them.

Thanks.

Cecily Fay! Always love to see her crop up in documentary historical recreations.

I'm not surprised. There were female gladiators.

Could you add time stamps in the description so we know when each chapter starts?

The BBC series only first hour is about women.

The thing I 'love' about the 'UK', is that all the 'experts' are upper middle class with zero idea of poverty even through acquaintances. Don't they see the irony in this? Especially as we move towards Victorian (not Georgian times, yet) again?

​@@willtubman6674he has a point. Female gladiators in ancient Rome were essentially considered goofy comedy acts to warm up the audience before the main show began, essentially making them antiquity's version of the Looney Tunes shorts that used to be played in cinemas ahead of the feature film.

Someone do a movie, call it brawl babes 😊

15 minutes of content stretched out; all blow, no show.
