Pace yourself. According to google, the Tyson/Paul fight will _probably_ start around 11:00PM EST.

My son heard 1AM EST and at the rate these matches are going, I almost believe it.

I offered a bet to the bar….$40 says somebody gets an ear bitten off. No takers, but a guy bought me a beer!

Someone was watching a few minutes of the show in the breakroom at work and I distinctly heard Mauro Ranallo calling the match.

Mauro Ranallo could call a senior golf tournament and make it sound like the most thrilling thing he’s ever seen.

Barrios & Ramos fight was worth watching.

Yep, a draw.

I really thought Barrios had won it.

I have a feeling that Barrios v Ramos fight is going to be the fight of the night.

My prediction for Tyson v Paul. Either a clinching, dancing, slog for the whole thing. Or one of them gets KO’s with in the first round.

Agree.

I would have paid to view the fights without all the pageantry/interviews/ads.

It was a good fight. I hate seeing a split decision draw on a title fight, but that means we’ll get another one in a few months.

It’s hard to believe that we’ve gotten to the point where Mike “I’ll eat your kids” Tyson is the more likable of the two.

I don’t watch as much boxing as I used to. I got rid of cable, no ESPN, I found that I wasn’t using DAZN enough to keep paying for it, and I found I like watching really big matches live at the movies. Saw the last two Wilder-Fury fights that way.

Netflix failing at the basic job of having bandwidth.

Well, good thing we saw probably the best fight of the night already, though I would like to see this Taylor vs Serrano one.

My Netflix homepage now says that the Paul vs Tyson fight is coming soon.

The stream is running ok for me but the resolution quality is low to just ok (it keeps varying and it is noticeable…I have gobs of bandwidth available so it is not me).
