    Just back from town , there was a bare knuckle fight between two teenagers in the lane next to penny's 530 saturday. Looked like it was for show rather than a serious fight. There was about twenty people watching from Oliver Pluckett street , taking pictures etc.
    First time seeing something like this for along Time.
    Cops no where to be seen.

    Sick to death of seeing gangs of teen agers hanging around town, lots of them seem drunk, girls seem worse behaved than the boys, Garda numbers are small right now and on the weekends in town 50% seem to be members of the Garda reserve, fair play to those people.
    I guess it's all down to the parents and the way the kids are brought up.
    These teen agers seem to come from all backgrounds I almost hit a gobby middle class clown outside McDonalds in Wintrop St a couple of weeks back.

    Now I am not all teens are trouble and I remember it as a hard time to go through, but some of them have no respect at all for any one of any thing.

    It seems to come in waves and Winthrop street seems to be a focal point. There's often trouble there.

    Bit of a misleading thread title in fairness. Teens are forever having fights in town. Can't ever remember boxing gloves being used.

    Wasn't teen's having a scrap. Organised to some extent digging the head off one another, bare knuckled in boxing stance , with a referee.
    The reason I posted it because it is rare for cork especially in this day and age.
    Would consider cork alot safer now than it was 20 years ago.
    I would consider what I saw bare knuckle boxing boss.
