Alright, so I was looking over the Burning Knucklers (Yes I call them their original name. Battlin' Boxer is stupid imo) And I think if you built the deck well enough you could seriously make an Anti E Drag deck with them against the most common E Drag plays. Lemme explain
Leadblow is pretty unstoppable. I mean the only things to fear with Leadblow are things that remove like D Prison. Even Bottomless doesn't work! Why? Because Bottomless states the the summoned monster is DESTROYED and THEN removed. And Since Leadblow could just detach to avoid the destruction, the removal after effect of Bottomless wouldn't work because Leadblow didn't leave the field to be removed.
Also, typical E Drag builds run little to no traps whatsoever so if you can keep on the offensive against them then the deck can be put into a tough spot.
Now, as for the main threat of E Drag deck; the XYZ's.
Draco-sack is pretty null and void against Leadblow. Draco can't kill it for at least 2 turns with its effect as you can only pop a card by tributing once per turn and Leadblow just detaches and says "Nope!" to the destruction. And while Draco can run over Leadblow while Leadblow it's at 2200 Atk Leadblow will just detach and survive and be able to run over Draco.
Big Eye is a threat as it can just steal your Leadblow from you. However, I suggest main decking Fiendish Chain, Effect Veiler, Breakthrough Skill, XYZ Block, XYZ Reflect and Complusory Evacuation Device. Obviously don't run ALL of these in one deck, but certainly keep 3 Compulse, 2 Veiler and 2 XYZ Block handy.
Now for the final "Big Threat" monster E Drags typically love. Light and Darkness Dragon (LaDD)! This thing is going to give your deck (or any for that matter) the biggest headache going! BUT, it is defeatable. Solemn Warning or Judgement will kill it as LaDD can't play its effect due to technically not hitting the field properly yet when the Solemn duo get played (Same as Seal of Orichalcos can be killed if you chain MST to it, despite the part of its effect that says it can't be destroyed by a card effect once per turn, it technically hasn't hit the field for that effect to apply. Same goes with Solemn vs LaDD) But if you don't have a Solemn handy then just chain 2 cards that will get rid of it as LaDD can only negate once per chain. So a Bottomless to its summon and a Torrential to its negation would kill it off (or, if you have Leadblow then do something like Bottomless or Compulse then chain to LaDD XYZ Block)
The deck is a THEORY deck. I haven't tested it against E Drags yet. If you want to edit it to make it more consistent in stopping their big plays then feel free to. This isn't foolproof so if they are running non standard stuff you may not have cards to counter it. And before anyone moans, yes I haven't countered specifically to Starform Dragon (A tip: Use Compulse on it the moment AFTER it's summoned! It has hit the field and isn't in BP yet. So it can be affected by traps) but there is enough stuff in the deck to stop that. I figured I shouldn't devote more cards to stopping just that monster (which is rarely played by E Drag players typically anyway) as the more common ones are bigger threats then Starform.
So, here's the deck:
