So their live streaming of the Mike Tyson fight last night was an unmitigated disaster. But come on - you'd think that Netflix IT would understand how to spin up capacity to meet demand. Maybe their replacements will.
For those who like the Sweet Science (or who used to), this is a fascinating episode from Hard Core History about how boxing has changed over time, mostly for the worse. Dan Carlin interviews Mike Silver, author of The Arc of Boxing which is a terrific read. I'm in general agreement with both the podcast and the book, although have to admit that I quite enjoyed the Barrios/Ramos bout last night. It had a very Friday Night Fights feel to it.

Hard to see how time takes everything from us. Iron Mike no more. I didn't have a lot of good things to say about Logan Paul, but kudos to him for just sparring and protecting himself rather going for a knockout in the late rounds.
Sadly, Netflix was Tango Uniform by the time of the Tyson bout so I didn't see it. But good on Paul for being respectful of a legend who hadn't fought for three decades.
