David Morrell vs Sena Agbeko ~ Farewell Showtime

[TitoFan]

Looks like they're doing some social catching up in between.

A lot of swinging for the fences here... but I think Berto got buzzed at the end of that last round.

This ref Hoyle should be holding Bertos hand by now. Berto tough but just a shell here. Tough watch. Haymon could have just passed him a gratitude envelope and saved him the damage.

[Spicoli]

Guerrero acting like a guy who knows he may get a big fight out of this . Maybe it's just two happy warriors though.

Ok awesome. Knew they had a much fuller recap and tribute. Going to miss Lennon on the intro too. Literally a lifetime of boxing fandom here.

Neither HBO nor Showtime will be truly replaced in boxing.

Going to date myself by decades here. But fuck it dude we all get older . I really do think boxing loses a sort of long-term investment with no premiere networks. Apps are the now and we're there. But the attention spans and "build" progression of both some fighters and big fights is not really there so much. The anticipation in real time. Often guys on the same feature card but deep down we knew they were looming around the corner. Now we spat back in forth as to why they will not happen. Fighters on keyboard tirades dropping N'ga this and N'ga that. Then they just sort of fall out of the sky one day. Or not at all

Colbert having a repeat nightmare in 1st . Hurt badly and down.

Well, we can both date ourselves.

My sadness from the demise of both HBO and Showtime boxing stems from the fact that these networks knew how to put on a good show. The buildup, the anticipation, the show itself, the production... all were unique to both these networks, and IMO cannot be equaled by any streaming service. Especially championship fights where country rivalries were involved. The atmosphere, skillfully picked up by the networks, was electric beyond belief. I'll always be a boxing fan. But saddened beyond measure by the changes that have occurred, including some that you mention above.

Valenzuela jumped on Colbert like he was double-parked outside.
