My fight review: Alabama sorority blondes are undefeated, thank god I didn’t pay for that fight and that women’s fight was awesome and I would happily pay to watch them beat each other’s brains out for half an hour

Is anyone tired this morning? I admit it, I feel like someone hit me with a 2X4 after that late night. Thanks to Jake Paul and Mike Tyson for keeping us up way too late for a fight that gave us ZERO highlights.

What will that night be remembered for?

• Sydney Thomas stands behind the woman with the disgusting cut and has her big international breakthrough moment, just as I predicted. This was exactly the moment when the world stopped for a moment and realized that there was a new international sensation.

• Streaming issues. I had the fight on a TV with CAT5 cabling next to a TV that uses WiFi while playing UCLA-Washington and the football game was perfect. The Netflix TV was buffering, which started at about 10:30 ET. After that it was hit and miss. I’d last 10 minutes with a decent signal, just a step above the nineties, and Cinemax to a spinning wheel.

• Technical problems. Netflix better move quickly on the Christmas Day doubleheader of Chiefs-Steelers and Ravens-Texans. We’re talking about seven hours of football that all of America will watch. If you think people lost their minds last night, just imagine Grandma and Grandpa trying to figure out what their Millennial grandchildren are talking about when they say, “Rewind two minutes into Live and the stream will be perfect.” That would be a disaster for Netflix. And why don’t microphones and earphones work during a fight that may be watched by 200 million people around the world? No excuses in 2024.
• Roy Jones Jr.’s clothes Netflix clearly hasn’t given its talents any dress code tips. Had Roy been assigned a stylist at all? Yes, I enjoyed it because it was substantive, but everything about the broadcast was unclear.
• Screencaps Jr. and Screencaps the III stayed up for the women’s fight/brutality. Mrs. Screencaps wasn’t happy about them staying up late, but she finally realized that they needed to learn about fight nights sooner rather than later.

Conclusion:

As a content guy, last night was great because the internet provided talking points for years to come. Boxing is still boxing and it’s still a spectacle, but we keep coming back to it no matter how many times we say we’re done with it.

– John from SD emailed this morning:

That Barrios/Ramos split draw scorecard is the reason people have turned away from boxing. Barrios won that fight. The same goes for the women. How did that scorecard get turned around? Serrano won that fight hands down. I saw Rapha Milagres on SC and in the ring last night, epic post from you. Too bad Iron Mike couldn’t pull it out.

Kinsey:

All I kept thinking was that I was going to the Mr. McMahon Netflix series and how it was decided who would win matches. Boxing is the same way in my opinion. I can safely say it’s rigged when it comes to the cards.

How does he do it?

Flying Heritage and Combat Museum

– Mike T. is on his way:

Paul Allen built the museum and when he passed away, a member of the Walton family purchased it after Paul’s death.

If you dig the history of WW11 you have to see this place, incredible and the vast majority of the equipment is in flyable or flyable condition.

Simply fantastic!

Jonathan Says Michael Strahan Should Be Fired For Not Placing His Hand On His Heart During The National Anthem – Screencaps Readers Respond

– Travel Ball Hardo Chris B. in Houston writes:

The fuss about Michael Strahan is stupid in my opinion. The hand over the heart has always been a requirement for the oath of allegiance, but for the national anthem the only rule I know is to take off your hat. Yes, if I’m at a game wearing a ball cap, I place my cap over my heart during the national anthem, but if I’m not wearing a hat, I just stand respectfully looking at the flag and singing.

-Jason DeM. emails:

No, no, no, no, no!

What are we doing here? Strahan didn’t kneel, he didn’t sit down, he didn’t turn his back on the flag… he didn’t do anything to disrespect the anthem. Expecting someone to get fired for something like this is like expecting criminal charges for not using the correct pronouns. I don’t agree with Strahan politically, but we can’t become the intolerant, woke leftists who say, “If you don’t do things exactly the way I do them, you’re the enemy.”

That’s it this morning. I need breakfast.

Let’s have a great day of college football. I didn’t end up going to Chicago. I will discuss that on Monday. Tomorrow may be the last day of my 2024 golf season. Yes, November 17th we are playing on a beautiful 60 degree day. I can’t wait.
