The Open Mat Forum

We cut our cable years ago.

We don't pay for Peacock.

Therefore, watching the Olympics is not available for us.

With that said, the winter Olympics just don't have the same pull as the Summer Games.

It's seems like an Olympics for wealthy kids that had parents that had the time to drive their kids to luge tracks  and the money to buy skis every year

Well, the rematch happened.

Paul won via Ko.

So much easier to follow a hockey game live than on TV.  The puck looks like it moves much faster on TV than it does in real life.

The arena was amazing.  My nephew said the visitors' lock room was beautiful and the crowd sounded extremely loud while on the ice.

After the game, he mentioned that the ice is made from reclaimed rain water...and the Zamboni is electric.  I guess they took their name of "Climate Pledge Arena" seriously. 

Blue Jackets ran up quite a lead, but the Kraken fought back hard and brought it to overtime. Columbus won 5-4.

Hoping he gets to stay in the big leagues for the rest of the season.

Rumors abound that Logan included a "No KO clause" in the contract

If another exhibition, it won't matter because there are no wins or losses in an exhibition.

Tyson/Jones was an exhibition.
Paul/Mayweather was an exhibition.
Holyfied/Belfort was an exhibition.

Just sparring sessions. Nothing official

Talk about anti-vax.   Families will just have to watch their youngins on TV.  Hopefully our US folks will have something better than NBC so they can actually see the competition their youngins will face.  And actually watch the preliminary rounds their youngins are in.

It's NBC, it will be wall to wall coverage of swimming and gymnastics.  I assume you will have to catch clips on YouTube of other sports the following day.

155lbs vs. a weight drained 189.

12oz gloves are big for professional fighters.  They are usually for sparring or for amateur matches.  Normally, the lighter weights fight with 8oz gloves and those in the middle to upper weights fight at 10oz or 12 oz.

I don't think Floyd has fought with such large gloves before, but I could be wrong.

It will not effect punching power, but will provide a boxer with a history of hurting his hands an extra bit of protection (Floyd). 

This match-up is still not sanctioned. So, even if there is a legit KO, there still will be no winner or loser declared.  Rather, the exhibition will end.

Mike missed a gate. 8th place. Will try for 2024
