Just read, Who Killed Honor Bright? Seems William Butler Yates mistress was murdered, the chief suspect? Yates wife and the head of the Irish Justice Department! Awesome story!

That's why boxing is called the sweet science.  There is a lot more to it than just beating on someone. 

I guess it was a good show.  But both are multimulti millionaires now so they are the ones laughing.

Good points, Art! I'm just at a loss as to how people don't embrace Boxing Fundamentals 101. I guess they're putting it all together, just really slow. I also wonder how beneficial weight cutting and rehydration is. From the outside looking in, it looks like Conor would of benefited from more training (skills) and less lifting (stop with the tires).

A lot of the so-called conditioning issues also have to do with technique. If your technique is bad you're going to be inefficient as gas sooner. Conor isn't an efficient boxer. He looked very stiff to me.

You're correct in everything you say, he is very inefficient, he stays tense. He does not husband his physical resources well.

But he got the win he wanted - a giant payday.

Bet on the boxer in a boxing match and the MMA fighter in the cage.

You're spot on, Bob! The payday is what counts! As an aside, isn't it kind of embarrassing when a 27 year old gasses against a 40 year old? MMA guys, stop flipping tires, and start traing "cardio"

Keep Brock out of the UFC, it was bad enough when he walked in and almost defeated Mir, winning the title after only thre fights made the UFC look bad. Push the MMA vs Boxing angle, lots of money there.

Props to Brycemus mentioning the books! Reacher was basically, Conan in the 20th century (huge, powerful, athletic, intelligent guy vs his enemies). Cruise could not pull of the physicality of the role, though little guys can do that shit.  His acting ability did a lot....but he's not 6'6".
