Bullshit.

Cotto vs. Canelo is a legit fight and it is next weekend. Mayweather being out of the game helps boxing tremendously. There's actually been a few decent PBC fights as well.

Is there any particular reason why you are so belligerent tonight?

Alcohol of course.

Over my time at CP I've figured out Al gets hits the bottle during UFC events, Easy6 all day Sunday, and Dane about midnight every night.

It was downhill from there for her.

Fortunately for her, she'll always have that bad-ass persona. Similar to a guy like Kimbo Slice who became famous for beating up literal bums on the side of the road, and then got picked apart when he started fighting actual mixed martial artists.

The problem with cyborg is that she has been loaded up on test and other steroids for a decade.

False. She failed one test years ago, and has passed multiple/frequent tests since with flying colors.

I just think that casual fans are fickle in that they only want the monster. You all sound like dedicated fans that actually appreciate the sport rather than the spectacle, so you'll watch for the matchups, not the crossover story.

Lesnar didn't really have any crossover appeal after he lost. Same with Slice. I think it will be interesting to see what happens to Rousey's marketability after this, though.

And I'm so pissed I missed Rousey getting knocked out. **** the casual "I want to see an undefeated fighter bcuz history" casual fans. They packed every where I tried to go.

Honestly it's hard to say. Rousey's strategy was really bad considering her opponent. She should have pressed the ground game from go. I think she was too cocky.

Does that make her overrated? I don't know. I think she's benefitted from lack of competition. I also believe that fight could have looked totally different with a different approach.

I'm sure we will see the rematch.

She was too gassed to do the toss.
