That Ortega v Holloway fight is a good main event. I feel like that one is gonna be a war and not the only time they fight.

Lots of concerns about Holloway’s health. Not sure if they know what is going on with him.

[mdn82 25,464]

Wow that was crazy. Over 600 thrown punches between them. Max is the man.

Max is just insane man. Just insane striking output every fight. Ortega has a crazy chin, don't know how he was still standing. 

[Dalton26 16,891]

Glad my future ex wife won :)

Didn’t expect Max to win. Impressive. Both guys are tough.

Am I the only one who's really interested to the Tyson-Douglas 30-for-30 tonight? For some reason, I remember exactly where I was when I found out the great and mighty Tyson lost. I was in school, just about to leave Nick's after a few cold ones. I think SportsCenter was on in the background, and I asked the barkeep -- sorta tongue in cheek -- who won the Tyson fight. He said: "Not Tyson." I said: "Yeah, right." He said: "No, I'm serious." I said: "C'mon?" He said: "No. The other guy kicked his @$$." I said: "Seriously?" He said: "No joke." 

These days, as I've learned more about it and look back on it, it's almost kinda disappointing Buster didn't do more. The guy was really talented. But his heart wasn't in it, and he was, for a lack of a better word, lazy. I think if he trained for Holyfield the way he did for Tyson, he'd have kicked Holyfield's @$$, too. But he essentially collected his millions and rode off into the sunset. In a way, I guess you can't blame him. But still, all that potential ... just kinda wasted.

lol. I guess Jones' 18 month old test is still showing some residual. UFC 232 moved from Vegas to LA.
