Enjoy your late breakfast/lunch.

Netflix was absolutely horrendous for me. Ended up watching it on a separate stream that could obviously get it working. 

It was what it was, it was an exhibition that was sold as a professional fight. There was no point having any expectations for it, it was just about the novelty of seeing Tyson back in the ring. Very much felt like Paul was holding back and avoiding going the knockout, which makes a lot of sense from a respect perspective.

Yeah, there's not a lot else to say. Realistically, we got the best possible outcome. Tyson came out unscathed and Paul came out with even less credibility than he had before he went in.

Quite weekend, but some bullshit on Channel 5 tonight:

World class all domestic fly weight fight in Brum tomorrow, loving the look of this.

Solid undercard too, get the snacks in.

We witnessed a fighters heart break live last night

Always appreciated sunnys honesty. Is he really done? Maybe. I wouldn't rule out seeing him again though. 

He's had 4 tough outings and it's clearly showing, he never usually looks as static as he did last night. 

[Egg Shen]

Yeah, was sad to see. Don't think ive ever heard about a world class fighter has ever vocally tell their corner they dont want to be ring after 2 rounds in the kind of way Sunny did on Saturday night. Great performance by Yafai but Sunny didnt turn up. 

 

 

[NeverYield]

It was sad to see. He can be quite an irritating character at times, but I do appreciate how straight up he is, and I think he could be a pretty decent pundit full time. 

Just the realisation of watching a fighter admit he didn't have the dog in him that night was upsetting.

Bit of Sunday night Boxing anyone? This is tonight if you’re arsed. Can’t say I am myself but it’s there if anyone’s got nothing better to do. Included with the DAZN sub. Well it’d have to be wouldn’t it? 

[Lion_of_the_Midlands]

Can't be arsed with that Wand. As far as I'm concerned Whyte should only fight under the Texas boxing commission banner, they are the ones that cleared him. 

[wandshogun09]

Yeah me neither just sharing it incase anyone gives a bollocks. Doubt many will bother. 

[Lion_of_the_Midlands]

I've just watched the Mungia fight against the French lad from last night. Top Rank dropped a right bollock there. Mungia getting properly knocked out from one punch from a bloke who'd only knocked out 4 out of 24 certainly sets his standing back, but chapeau to the French lad. 

[NeverYield]

I couldlnt believe it. I thought to myself a couple of times that Munguia was looking a bit vulnerable and sloppy, but when that KO came I was shocked, fair play to the lad though, I genuinely love to see a proper upset, makes things interesting, rips the script up.

This goes down on Wednesday, but it's a bit of an early year treat out of nowhere.

Loves to watch Jai Opetaia fight, and this was originally scheduled to be a routine return home mandatory defence but the original opponent dropped out. David Nyika steps in on a few weeks notice who's one of the better prospects in Australia/New Zealand. It's something that probably would have been built too but we are getting it now instead. I'm busting for some fight, so i'm bang up for this one. It's live Wednesday morning on DAZN.

Love watching Opetaia fight aswell, decent fella to listen to aswell from what we have seen, got mad eyes aswell hasn't he, just has that look of someone who is game as they come and would fight in a second at the drop of a hat.
