I thought you were in Europe. Way off.

Nope, lifelong american, only lived in Europe for 1 semester in Rome Study Abroad in college. My sports consumption is more in line with Europeans than Americans tho since I really don't watch the N. American major leagues anymore. I follow hardcore boxing and track & field, watch a bit of other combat sports like MMA, kickboxing, BKFC, Karate Combat. Only really watch the grand slams for tennis. Only watch swimming during Worlds, same with gymnastics

Boxing been my favorite sport since 2018. I don’t quite remember when it flipped the NFL from the number 1 spot but I mostly follow NCAAF when it comes to football nowadays.

Tonight's Zurdo vs Smith will be my 43rd boxing card I've tuned into this yr, now the amount of fights i watch on each card varies but 43 diff cards in 2023 so far. I watched CFB on tv for a good 2 decades from 1993-2013, after that I only attended some games live when my young homie was playing at Stanford. Stopped watching NFL besides the Super Bowl around that same time in 2013.

Btw, Malik Scott is the head trainer in Zurdo's corner for tonights fight

I was a big ‘Mick’ Conley fan and Leigh Woods took my money that night. And the way he came back and stopped Mauricio Lara after getting KO’d in the first fight was impressive to me. You can’t go against a man with that type of championship metal.
Told ya’ll

Leigh Wood does what he does. Stinks it up, loses on the score cards and just when you about to give up on him…BAM. TKO.

:itsawrap:

Bek the bully lit Fox up and got the stoppage in the 4th but he's leaking himself, leaves himself open a lot

Eddie Hearn has agreed a deal for Conor Benn to fight Chris Eubank Jr in the Middle East on Dec 23 if they cannot do the fight in the UK. The preference is still to host the fight at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. ( @MailSport )

Please tell me this is fake....please!

Nope, and the sad part is their purses are not going to be big at this point when Triller has ran through their funds back then when they paid $25mil to Mike Tyson, $10mil purses to Jake Paul, high 7 figures to Holyfield and Roy Jones. Shit $7mil to fucking trump to commentate

How old is Razor now? Just looked it up, 59....Toney is 55...why?

Toney should win, more skilled, better boxer and he always seems to be in the boxing gyms but why?
The why is obvious, they need the money. This is what these men did for a living, the fault lies with the people willing to pay them for this farce. Hopefully they can put on a decent exhibition, make a few bucks, and no one gets hurt. I thought the Tyson/Jones fight was bad enough to convince people that watching 50 plus year old fighters in the ring is not entertaining.

Yeah the why was rhetorical...I am just bewildered by it even being considered a good financial investment...they will get a decent crowd but the streams will be weak

Triller is the most carny platform when it comes to boxing/combat sports right now, after burning through their funds earlier on with Tyson vs Roy, Jake Paul, Holyfield vs Vitor etc, Kovalev and the Pulev Bros, they've now cut off their boxing club and triad combat cards and are just running mainly BKFC and Fight Circus so they would be the platform to pay a license fee for a card like this
