I am not even sure I will watch it. It's not for any strap and is for all intents and purposes an exhibition bout. The casuals will lap it up and we will not give a monkeys, but I don't think it hurts boxing. Boxing is so much bigger than Floyd or UFC and it's not just about numbers. The fact that boxing goes on is the real legacy. It has to have room for stuff like this because it's got a lot of it in its DNA. I also like a laugh and there is plenty of room for entertainment in this. I get that the potential for an upset is miniscule but at this stage Floyd knocking anyone out is a bit of a change and the Irish fella just landing enough to make Floyd pause from admiring his own shorts is a small victory magnified.
