Regular boxing and bare-knuckle is a bit different however. Bare-knuckle boxers tend to have wider stances and if there isn't an early knockout, it often turns into a wrestling match. They also tend to use choppers (side of the hand blows), and they do have a few throws (cross-buttocks throw for example). They tend to clinch a lot more as well, and there is very few combinations used due to the stress put on their hands, so they really tend to only throw one or two punches max at a time.
If you want some good training methods, check out some of the following fighters online and I'll bet you find some good info: Bob Fitzsimmons, Gentleman Jim Corbett, and Jack Johnson. They did a lot of running back in those days (as big as he is, Jack Johnson would run up to 150 miles per week!), and the longest boxing match in history was from back in those days, which lasted several hours.
