Fight Club: a History of Violence, Yesterday, review Bare-knuckle boxing was the subject of Fight Club: a History of Violence (Yesterday), the second of a four-part series narrated with appropriate menace by the gravel-voiced Sean Bean. Despite the blood-spattered source material - there were horrific tales of 100-round bouts, and how the fighters" ears and even lips were sometimes lost in the fray - this was at heart a fairly serious-minded historical documentary. Most of the talking heads were balding, bookish and looked incapable of saying boo to a goose. There was one hair-raising exception: Seoras Wallace, a Scottish bare-knuckle boxer who has fought on-screen in films such as Highlander, Braveheart and Gladiator. Seoras's strategy for bare-knuckle boxing was made even more terrifying by his thick brogue. I'll giv ye a target. I'll giv ye something ye really want [to hit]: I'll giv ye a kidnay; I'll giv ye a spleen; I'll giv ye a rib-shot. But [while you're busy] hitting that, I will have your heed. Despite what Brad Pitt said, the first rule of Fight Club should be: never punch a Scotsman in the spleen.
