That was a bit of a farce.
Thankfully the Taylor - Serrano fight more than made it worthwhile staying up for.

That was a sham, Tyson looked an old man in the ring and hardly trew a punch. He spent half his time biting his gloves, these bouts are making a mockery of the sport.

Forgot all about it thankfully. From what i’ve read it was like watching two Lambert teams against each other?

It was as shit as you'd expect it to be. For all of the training videos of Tyson looking like his mean old 80s self, doing that for 20 seconds against a trainer with pads on is a bit different from doing it against somebody 30 years younger, however rudimentary Paul's skills are. Cross with myself for watching it to be honest. To see easily the greatest boxer of all time (in my opinion) reduced to that is really sad.

Good effort from CBS, but Ramirez was too good.

I missed it but by all accounts both men did much to restore the reputation of the sport after last night's fiasco.

I've just had an opportunity to watch the Taylor v Serrano fight. The US commentators made the decision sound like a travesty. Bollocks. Taylor won convincingly. The pricks.

This is a terrific (long) piece of writing about the search for one of the men that fought Ali. It reminded me of John Steinbeck.

Yep, great fight.

Now we have the circus. Already shaming the name of boxing.

At least Mayweather was still able to school McGregor. This is just a novelty act.
That main event was laughable. So glad i didnt stay up to watch perhaps one of the biggest flops in history

Harlem Eubank fight 7 rounds 2 minutes and 50 seconds too long….must make the shortlist for worst fight of the year :-)
