I was surprised to see Guehi in midfield rather than Chalobah. Doesn’t Chalobah have a lot more experience in midfield?

Rearranging deck chairs.

They looked a lot better after changing them around to start the second. Until the red card that is

I thought baseball season was over?

Some good quotes in here:

Anybody watching this “fight” tonight? I don’t know if it’s just me, but my Netflix feed is crap on the undercard right now. Not sure if they have the bandwidth for this.

I refuse to watch A 58-year-old man get beaten down, even if it is Mike Tyson. I am more and more certain that we are living (and dying) through the equivalent of the fall of the Roman Empire.

It’s not just you. Mine has been freezing every couple of minutes it seems like. I hope Tyson knocks Paul out.

If I’d only realized Idiocracy was a drama set in the future rather than a comedy way back when… most of what compromises TikTok from what I can tell (not on it) is “Ow My Balls”

That was depressing on many levels.

And it may be the last boxing match I ever watch.

What? You didn’t enjoy watching them play patty-cake for 8 rounds?

It was always going to be bullshit because Paul should’ve had to fight Glass Joe and Piston Honda first.

My morbid curiosity streak made me tune in. I lasted 2 rounds.

I can enjoy most sports, but boxing and MMA do nothing for me. I think Tyson-Holyfield was the last fight I ever watched, and I have never watched an MMA fight. So the idea of a 58 year old Tyson “fighting” held less than zero interest for me.

Zero interest in MMA, but I do enjoy a good boxing match, grew up watching them on Wide World of Sports and then HBO. Problem is they are damn near impossible to find now. I’ll hit youtube every once in a while when the mood strikes and watch old fights with Hagler/Hearns/Leonard/Ali/Foreman/etc…The best Tyson fight was vs Bonecrusher Smith, btw.

I too used to be a fan of the Sweet Science, but it has mostly lost its appeal to me. I have no interest in watching a man older than me fight a man in his 20s. It’s absurd. I read one account that described the highlight of this “fight” as the remarkable achievement of Paul being able carry Tyson eight rounds. Blah.

Speaking of youtube and other sports…

ETA: The Villa-Palace game has an all-female commentary crew. It was 15 mins in before it dawned to me.

As expected, they are both more competent and informed/prepared than many of their male counterparts.

Probably getting paid less than most of their male counterparts as well.
