I took Isaac Doolittle -115 in the co-main event
https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/bouts/747046-bkfc-38-jake-brutal-bostwick-vs-isaac-doolittle
Some of the motivations for Doolittle moving down to middleweight here:
“There was a definite disadvantage in fighting at 185 (light heavyweight). Because everybody and their dog at ’85 cuts from two, 205, 210, 215, anywhere up to 220. I think Josh Dyer is a natural 205’er but he cuts all the way down to ’85. Think he said he walked around at 210, 220. I’m walking around on the buzzer. That’s a big difference. Especially with these limbs. Like I’ve got the reach of a 5’1 woman.”
“These guys have 80-inch reach. I’m walking around with 63, maybe 69 with my shoulders. ’75 just, we’re just closer in size. People are going to have a lot harder of a time running from me. It’s hard to keep their range, I don’t have to work as hard. People like to dogfight more at ’75 because they’re shorter. So that’s kind of the idea we went with. I’m kind of tired of chasing all my opponents around like they’re my kid and they’re in trouble in the mall.”
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship:
Doolittle continued, “Not only that, (David) Mundell moved down to ’75. When we were up at ’85, he checked every fight I had, and he kept telling me he’d end my boring streak. So, I’m coming down to give him a chance to end my boring streak.”
“I mean it’s not really that big of a backstory. He posted on a few of my fights. I think it was either the last one or two or one before that. But he told me that he’d end my boring streak and I’ll give you the chance. Dude is a phenomenal bare-knuckle boxer. 6-1, there are not many that can claim that record. Apart from Lorenzo (Hunt) and I think Reggie Barnett. An absolute phenomenal athlete and very technical fighter. I’ll give him that chance though.”
Thoughts on opponent Jake Bostwick heading into this clash:
“Jake Bostwick, I think he’s a great fighter. He’s explosive, he’s great on the inside, he’s got good footwork. His head movement is a little bit linear, but it also lends to his balance. He’s really got a good balance. So, he’s kind of hard to knock down. He’s very explosive, he’s very powerful, he fights heavily on the inside. Which is going to make this a wonderful fight. I mean you saw what I did to the last guy who fought me on the inside, we sat, and we banged. That’s going to be a blast. I want to do that again. This dude is; he’s up there. He’s one of the best 75ers for a reason.”
