I decided to make a thread on it's own as this fight deserves it's own thread. The rematch is in 3 days and in North America it's barely mentioned on mainstream sports sites and if it is it's an after thought. Usyk rightfully is a slight betting favorite at about 7 to 6 odds so essentially...

Captain Kirk was sent to the Neutral Zone and may need warp 15 to return as a starter this season...https://nfltraderumors.co/falcons-bench-kirk-cousins-name-michael-penix-jr-starter/

Gastineau is recovering from cancer and probably has CTE as he played pro football for over a decade in the NFL and for short bit in the CFL and then had his celebrity boxing type career before the term existed. I recall him getting laid out by a journeyman boxer who later shot and killed his...

I know the death spiral billiards is in is across the board in richer countries and that is due to cost for the billiard hall and the factors that NW talked about with social media and video games. I can't tell you how many billiard halls have been turned into fast food restaurants. Also as NW...

He had a disappointing career when he turned pro he was viewed as a better prospect than Holmes who he easily beat to make the Olympic team. It seemed like he had a glass jaw when he fought the elite of the division, though you could say a throat punch from Norton caused him to crumble more...

Considering Australian has had a plethora of world level finalists since the record was set you would think somebody would have nipped the record even if they had to go to altitude meets in South Africa which has a similar outdoor season starting point as Australia. I think part of the...

Paro vs Richardson is the crown jewel fight of the weekend. Paro is only a marginal favorite but IMO should be a solid favorite. Hitchinson got a gift house decision to defeat his gritty Argentine opponent and looked terrible at times in the fight. Off of that form it should be easy work for...

The 49ers have an all hands on deck situation and he may get a real workload situation either to fight for a playoff spot or most likely to limp towards the end of the season and hope that 25' isn't truly the end of this contending team. PS Jordan Mason is on IR too so the 49ers have Guerendo...

I missed the prospects and the domestic championship level fights live and so far have only seen the Indo-Brit prospect at flyweight opening the card. I did see the Sunny Edwards bout and he seemed to being seeing ghosts from the punches of the Afro-Arab Brit as he complained to his corner...

I remember the measurements of Forbes were laughable as he was about a buck 65 and he was still given a first round grade. This pick should get the whole scouting staff fired. Forbes might be too skinny to play baseball let alone make an open field tackle on a 200 pound+ runner.

It's a slow week as far as I know this is the only card broadcast on North American television. Edwards vs Yafai is the only world level bout on essentially a prospect card. Edwards is the favorite to beat the Arab-Brit but he could be damaged goods as the beating he took from Bam was violent...

Yes he grossed a reported 20 million, the standard split is half goes to your team and management so that would leave Tyson with 10 million before taxes and he would net about 6.2 and change if he can't manage that amount of money into a nest egg to deal with health issues down the line then he...

If ever a team needed relegation it's the Jets. I would love for the UFL teams to have a chance to graduate to the NFL and relegate door mats like the Jets and Browns. Obviously with a salary cap and bloated franchise values this isn't happening. Even without a salary cap teams like the Jets...

If he fights on he is danger of becoming Ken Shamrock as the formula for success in your 40's is to be able to smother guys like Couture did and Stipe can't do that like he did and we saw him slowly get picked apart. At some point Jones will get KTFO I don't care but you can't have a gut and...

I love the line "Tyson lost to an Ed Hardy shirt that came to life". Yes the fight did have a Roman Coliseum fight type feel to it without the emperor giving the thumbs up or down for Paul violently stopping the beyond shot Tyson(or maybe Paul mentally gave the thumbs up). The Saudi card is...

Yes the Paul vs Tyson circus is the "big event" of the weekend. If it is regarded as an event this fight will be big as stories have popped up on the internet that the clown show has taken the most action in years on a boxing match and the betting public/suckers are betting on Tyson. The...

From muscle memory Williams does plays that would be highlight reel completions in college but now are lowlight reel follies because his wide receivers aren't open like Sunday morning touch football game players. Supposedly some players want Bagent starting and Williams holding a clipboard with...

If you are going to sell your cards it's best to sell to a fellow collector. I would put in the ad no dealers please because dealers except for rare exceptional cards only pay pennies on the dollar. A collector could give you 50 percent and think it's a good deal for a dealer only a valuable...

The ball boy was pushed by Sanders' social media camera man. This is what's totally wrong with NIL as phony narratives and videos that promote them are viewed as the gospel by the uninitiated. Hopefully the Sanders act leaves suburban Denver and goes to a bottom feeder team and blows up like...

This is a thread on collecting and sports memorabilia in general. As you stated collecting really isn't for kids beyond upper middle class kids. I'm a bit older than you but I remember I used to go and collect pop bottles and beer bottles(more pop) and bought packs with the returned bottles...

The b side of the Quebec based main event is a Ukrainian fighter who has been fighting in Quebec and I am assuming the same promotional shows. It's rare that a promotion cannibalizes one of their fighters so that a bigger star can emerge. I suspect the Ukrainian was brought in to make the...

I forgot who Chigur was.... Just hilarious, the private polling had the Democrats in desperate straights so they got Walz aboard but it was too late to bandage the bleeding of votes. I truly think this was a backlash against the crazy leftist ivory tower Democratic elite. Harris even lost or...

I tend to agree with many points here on square pegging these quarterbacks into the NFL's round holes and this has obviously accelerated. I remember years ago off the record scouts always talked about X qb could never play in the NFL because they would be scrapping him off the ground after so...

I hope the Polish prospect has the fight on television as it looks like it's the opening bout of the card. Bek "The Bully" is fighting the semifinal bout on the DAZN card. His management team has eased up on the reigns since his shocking prospect loss in a cross roads bout against ethnic PR...

Yes a slow weekend the American card seems to be a prospect card with a few White prospects on it but I will probably pass on watching it over the World Series. If there is a violent knockout or a brilliant performance I could review the fight as I have DAZN(well worth the money for the boxing...
