Re: I didn't watch it either--Right, and wait a short time and see it free.
It will re-run endlessly.  Esp since it went the distance and takes up a lot of time.  I never vote for a defensive fighter, but that is how Ali, become chanp and remained champ.

I didn't watch it either
I pondered on ordering it but thought fifty dollars worth of food was better. LOL

I watched the fight with the men in my life. And it wasn't a fair match, imo ...

Seeing as De La Hoya's head was (literally) four times the size of Mayweather's (and thus, a much easier target).

Too bad if boxing is dead, though. I like it because the rules are simple to follow. Plus the risk of permanent brain damage makes it exciting.

I strongly suspect the appeal of Ultimate Fighting is steeped in homoeroticism. See, it's the only socially acceptable way for guys to watch other guys grappling around on the floor, half-naked. And the extreme violence makes it okay if somebody pops a boner.

To me, boxing is like a ballet,
except there's no music, no choreography,
and the dancers hit each other.
