Expect a lot more fights to end early due to cuts on the face/head.
Protecting the head will become really important due to the above reason as well.
I'd assume fewer jabs thrown and more selectively thrown power punches. Mainly due to the risk of damaging your hand and losing the fight that way.
Since most fights will end by knockout, I'm not sure if this will help with the long term trauma to the brain or not.

“We’ve gone real old-school on this,” said Rawlings, who arrived in Cheyenne on Sunday.

BKFC will use a ruleset different than the London rules but designed to retain the purity of those fights of old. Boxers are not permitted any covering on the knuckles, but can tape their wrists and thumbs for stability. Bouts will take place in a circular boxing ring unique to the promotion and are scheduled for either five or seven two-minute rounds with nine rounds scheduled for championship fights. Each round begins with both fighters standing three feet apart at the ring’s center. Punches are the only offensive weapon permitted, but clinch fighting and holding the back of the opponent’s head is allowed with referees breaking the action if there is three seconds of inactivity.
