Patrick Day has died.

Rest in peace.

That’s like the third boxer in a couple months I watched fight their last fight, never to be seen again. I think I need break from the exploitation that is boxing.

Post-Mayweather Canelo has been my favorite boxer the last couple years. I didn’t care for him much before that, but seeing him grow after that fight has been cool as hell. I hope he retires Kovalev.

Ca-nel-o!

The continued success of $75 PPVs is the biggest mystery of boxing to me.

How many people even have 5 friends into boxing enough to chip in and split the cost? These aren't megafights either.

If Fathom events is showing the PPV, a friend and I always get tickets. It’s usually $20 per person and fun as hell.

Didn’t the ban drinking at darts events? I’m glad their health will be preserved, but half the fun of darts is the rowdy crowd and watching people neck pints before throwing bullseyes.

How long are ESPN and Top Rank going to keep lining up these soft touches for Crawford and telling us he's p4p number 1? This guy was coming off a draw to a gatekeeper.

Wasn’t this a mandatory WBO title defense?

This Martinez v Rosales fight is out of this world. Turn this on now.

Good stoppage. That was bad for a long time. Martinez is amazing, first time I’ve watched a fighter that has EVERYTHING I like to see in a fighter. Well, he fights a little flat-footed, but that doesn’t stop him from jumping in and switching stances in between punches. His body punches and combos are FIERCE.

As the Sergio said, “it’s a barrage.”

Bit of an early stoppage imo. To me it looked like he was defending himself and slipping punches on the ropes.

Thinking about grabbing tickets to this. Haven’t travelled to a fight ever, unless I can drive there. Maybe some of y’all have experience going to fights in Vegas? Could I do it on a budget by staying in Old Vegas? I don’t drink or gamble, just wanna see the fight and have a decent meal.

I get the feeling the tickets are going to be out of my price range because they haven’t even listed them yet.

I got a $200 ticket. I’m going and I’m so hyped!

Edit: if you’re still looking for tickets, it seems like the $150 and $200 tickets sold out almost instantly and the next step up more than doubles to $500 per person.

Extremely good fight. An incredible first fight to pick for my first one to see in person. All the obnoxious Brits chanting while marching out was the worst part of the night

I was next to a Brit that ripped his shirt off when Fury came out.

I went with the Dwyer bet recommendation and then on impulse made a guess as to the Fury round. At round 3 was when I really started thinking I had a chance at hitting that bet, the next nine minutes were extremely long lol but about as good as it could get for my bet. Wilder took just enough damage to look extremely fragile in round 7 and I think Fury would have stopped it there if Wilder's corner hadn't.

Might use the winnings to see whoever Pacquiao fights this year.

This DAZN card has been out of this world with amazing fights. Eddie Hearn sure is putting on some shows in 2020.

Glad Vargas got to stick it out after seeing those jelly legs. Mikey and Choco are faves of mine. Feels great seeing them both come back and win big tonight.
