Sparks brings a 53-second finish streak to Dover

Sparks, known as “The Reaper,” needed a combined 53 seconds to win his first two bare-knuckle bouts. He has said he intends to pursue another finish against Carmack rather than leave the decision to the judges, and plans to rely on the power that has produced his early results.

Carmack, nicknamed “Silverback,” has won and lost in BKB. His bare-knuckle victories came against Troy Depriest and Travis Fulton: he knocked out Depriest in the first round and stopped Fulton by technical knockout in the third. Juan Arciniega-Adams then knocked Carmack out in the first round.

The record gives Carmack finishing experience of his own, despite Sparks’ unbeaten start. Carmack has said he is coming to win and will seek a finish if the opportunity presents itself.

The bout will take place inside BKB’s Trigon, a three-sided enclosure with 60-degree corners, rather than a traditional boxing ring.
