    They won't go far enough.

    I can remember when the civilized world kept nations like ours out of sporting events. I'll think more highly of the rest of the world when they start treating us the way South Africa got treated. We've certainly earned it.

    well, since I think 8 of the 12 largest sponsors of the WC are based here, do you really think FIFA cares?

    Nah. Whites here are richer than in South Africa, meaning folks will love them on an international level.

    Pretty boring bout but the fact that Tyson was still standing at the end at what, 58 years old? was pretty crazy.
     
  14. Nope.
    I didnot know who that dude was and still don't but his name, before he got a relationship with one of our skating superstars.
    So nowadays you can make massive money without any real fighting skills, just by appearing in social media fights with other "fighters"?
    This underlines what I post, people eat the hype, not reality. A real top fighter of that dude age wouldnot have left geriatric Tyson standing.

    Apparently the undercard of Serrano v. Taylor was outstanding, and the Netflix server crashed several times during the fight.

    He was standing because Paul carried him for 6 rounds. He din't really even try to knock Tyson down even after it was clear Tyson had no legs / balance. People praising him for having pity on Tyson, but if this was a sanctioned fight, and you're not going to go all out, you're screwing the fans who paid or wasted their time. But what else is new in grifter culture ...

    The fight didn't even provide one memorable moment.

    Well, I heard a report that Tyson said he was smoking toad venom when he agreed to the fight. That’s memorable, if you ask me.

    Tyson is old….. happy for him he got his paycheck but that was a waste of time.
    The Serrano / Taylor, as mentioned earlier, was a terrrifc bout though. Simply spectacular. I think Serrano should have won though.

    On a totally different note, is anyone here on BlueSky? I joined yesterday and it is definitely a fun and rewarding place to discuss, share infos etc. Refreshing.

    There has been a massive movement from X to BlueSky since the election.

    I left twitter, but I don’t think I can handle any sort of political coverage in the foreseeable future.

    You don't need to.

    Bluesky has great lists like the early days of twitter, so you can nerd out on niche topics
