The first ever legal bare-knuckle boxing match in the U.S. got a bloody ending - and a big response from a raucous crowd of 2,000 at a hockey rink that usually hosts birthday parties and skating lessons in Wyoming's capital, Cheyenne.
Tens of thousands more tuned in for the pay-per-view event, which featured 10 bouts, including four heavyweight fights in a tournament format.

In the female category, Bec Rawlings, left, defeated Alma Garcia.
The International Boxing Hall of Fame said the last significant (yet illegal) bare-knuckle bout was July 8, 1889, when John L. Sullivan went 75 rounds to beat Jake Kilrain.
