Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort: Start time, how to watch or stream online, Trump commentary
Evander Holyfield and Vitor Belfort are fighting today! Alongside Anderson Silva with Trump on commentary.
Apparently, Trump will be commentating? 2021 is a helluva year.
Originally, legendary fighter Oscar De La Hoya, 48, who retired in 2009, was set to fight Brazilian ex-UFC champion Vitor Belfort, 44, in an exhibition bout. But earlier this month, De La Hoya posted a video shot from a hospital bed. He has COVID-19 and can't fight.
"I have contracted Covid and am not going to be able to fight next weekend," De La Hoya tweeted. "Preparing for this comeback has been everything to me over the last months, & I want to thank everyone for their tremendous support."
Evander Holyfield, 58, agreed to step in and fight Belfort. Holyfield turns 59 on Oct. 19.
The event begins at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on Saturday, Sept. 11.
The event was supposed to take place at Staples Center in De La Hoya's hometown of Los Angeles, but it's been moved to The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. According to a report from ESPN, the California State Athletic Commission refused to sanction Holyfield-Belfort.
The coast-to-coast move certainly makes it more convenient for the Florida-based former president, who reportedly will be at the fight in person.
To watch the fight night on pay-per-view, go to Fite TV to purchase the $49.99 package, which includes unlimited replays until Dec. 11, 2021. Or order it through your existing cable, satellite or telecommunications provider.
To hear the Trumps' commentary during each match, viewers will need to use the secondary audio function (SAP) on their cable box or TV set, pay-per-view provider iNDemand said in a statement.
Donald Trump is hardly new to combat sports. He's a longtime friend of Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Trump's past involvement with hosting major boxing events at his hotels and casinos earned him a place in New Jersey's Boxing Hall of Fame.
For the Sept. 11 event, the Trumps will offer commentary on all four of the evening's fights. But they're not the only soundtrack available. Viewers can pick between the Trumps narrating the fight, or regular commentators Jim Lampley and Shawn Porter.
Here's everyone fighting on the card…

UFC 260 Miocic vs. Ngannou: Start time, how to watch or stream online, full fight card
UFC 260 is just about to start. Here's everything you need to know…
UFC 260 will be the second time Stipe Miocic has faced off against Francis Ngannou.
Sadly the co-main event, a compelling contest between featherweight champ Alexander Volkanovski and jiu jitsu savant Brian Ortega has been cancelled after Volkanovski tested positive for COVID-19.
Here's everything you need to know.
This year the UFC entered into a new partnership with ESPN. That's great news for the UFC and the expansion of the sport of MMA, but bad news for consumer choice. Especially if you're one of the UFC fans who want to watch UFC live in the US.
In the US, if you want to know how to watch UFC 260, you'll only find the fight night on PPV through ESPN Plus. The cost structure is a bit confusing, but here are the options to watch UFC on ESPN, according to ESPN's site:
You can do all of the above at the link below.
MMA fans in the UK can watch UFC 260 exclusively through BT Sport. There are more options if you live in Australia. You can watch UFC 260 through Main Event on Foxtel. You can also watch on the UFC website or using its app. You can even order using your PlayStation or using the UFC app on your Xbox.
Need more international viewing options? Try a VPN. See the best VPNs currently recommended by CNET editors.
Based on previous UFC times, this is the schedule we expect…
Given how volatile and fluid previous fight cards have been in the COVID-19 era, expect this one to chop and change. Here's where we're at right now…
Here's how to stream live NBA games on ESPN, TNT and more
This holiday, you don't need cable to watch all of your team's games from the comfort of your home.
While you absolutely don't need cable to watch basketball this year, it still might be the easiest and cheapest choice depending on where you live.

Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors during a recent game.
Die-hard sports fans are beholden to regional sports networks, or RSNs, that carry the majority of the games for their local team. These RSNs are usually included in local cable packages, so most cable subscribers never have to worry about gaining access to the broadcasts on these channels: They can simply turn on the TV and watch the game.
Cord-cutting basketball fans have a tougher path. Because of rights agreements, most live TV streaming services like YouTube TV or Hulu with Live TV don't carry many RSNs. DirecTV Stream is the exception. It has nearly every RSN, particularly the Bally Sports channels (formerly Fox Sports) offered by Sinclair, but you'll need to spring for its $85-a-month plan.
Read more: DirecTV Stream review: Expensive, but the best option for streaming NBA and NHL
Ultimately, depending on your location, getting a cable subscription that includes ESPN, TNT and the local RSN might actually be cheaper and easier than streaming — especially if it's bundled with the home internet you'll likely be getting anyway.
For NBA fans looking to watch a ton of out-of-market basketball, a subscription to NBA League Pass has a lot to offer. You can get the whole NBA slate for $199 for the season, with commercials and one device, or $249 for the season with in-arena feeds instead of commercials, and the ability to watch on two devices at once. Those interested in following only a single team can buy a Team Pass for $119 for the season.
The key catch here is "out-of-market." Most fans are in-market, meaning they follow the local team, and unfortunately for them RSNs have broadcast exclusivity in the region that they cover. That means local NBA games are blacked out on NBA League Pass.
If you're living in Los Angeles, for example, you won't be able to watch Lakers or Clippers games on NBA League Pass. The same goes for Knicks fans in New York, Bucks fans in Milwaukee and so on. The only way to watch most of those home team games in your home market is to get a service that has the local RSN, namely Spectrum SportsNet, Bally Sports SoCal, MSG Network or Bally Sports Wisconsin.
Services like NBA League Pass use IP addresses to block out games in viewers' regions — you'll just get a black screen if you try to watch those games. That's why League Pass is ideal for those who want to follow one or more of the teams based in cities other than their own, aka out-of-market teams, but for local fans it's not as useful.
In another twist, the NBA TV network will broadcast 107 games this season that will be considered national for those out-of-market. This means that you will still be able to watch your local team play on your RSN, but viewers around the country will need NBA TV in order to watch the game — it will be blacked out on League Pass.
Luckily, League Pass subscribers have the option of adding NBA TV to their package for an extra $60 a year or $7 a month. This is most likely one of the cheapest ways to get NBA TV for the out-of-market fan.
YouTube TV is the only live TV streaming service that includes NBA TV in its base channel lineup. DirecTV Stream, FuboTV and Sling offer the channel only on higher-priced tiers or in special add-ons; see below for details.
For those determined to watch their local basketball team without a cable or satellite TV subscription, a live TV streaming service is the best bet. While it is pricey, DirecTV Stream is the best option for most people, particularly those where the local games air on Bally Sports networks.
Below is a chart of all of the NBA teams in the US and their corresponding RSNs.
Note: None of the (US-based) services carry the RSN for the Toronto Raptors. Fans looking to watch Fred VanVleet and co. need to use NBA League Pass to get all the games that are not either on your local RSN or on a US national broadcast.
One other note: If you don't recognize the name of some of these channels, don't worry. As mentioned, the Fox Sports RSNs have been rebranded as Bally Sports, because the channels are no longer owned by Fox but Sinclair, which has since partnered with casino group Bally's to rename them.
DirecTV Stream is expensive. It's the priciest of the five major live TV streaming services, but it's also the one with the most RSNs. Its cheapest, $70-a-month Plus package includes ESPN, ABC, TNT and TBS. You'll need to move up to the $85-a-month Choice plan to get any available RSN as well as NBA TV. You can use its channel lookup tool to see which local channels and RSNs are available in your area.
Aside from DirecTV Stream, the odds are long that a live TV streaming service carries the RSN for your local team's games, which makes the other four services better bets for watching nationally televised games.
FuboTV costs $65 per month and offers 10 RSNs for basketball. It also includes ESPN, but not TBS — which might be a problem for some basketball fans. But you can add NBA TV for an extra $7 a month with the Fubo Extra Package or pay for the $80-a-month Elite streaming tier, which includes Fubo Extra. Check out which local networks and RSNs it offers here.
YouTube TV costs $65 a month and offers six RSNs for basketball, along with all of the national broadcasts including NBA TV. Plug in your ZIP code on its welcome page to see which local networks and RSNs are available in your area.
Hulu Plus Live TV costs $65 a month and carries six RSNs for basketball, along with ESPN, ABC, TBS and TNT, but not NBA TV. Click the "View all channels in your area" link at the bottom of its welcome page to see which local networks and RSNs are available where you live.
Sling Blue currently lacks a single RSN to watch basketball. You can, however, use Sling to watch some national broadcasts. Sling TV's Orange plan includes ESPN, and both plans offer TBS, but neither of them gives you access to ABC. NBA TV is available as part of the Sports Extra add-on, which costs $11 a month for either the Blue or Orange plan, or $15 for the combined Orange-and-Blue plan. The individual plans cost $35 a month each, and the Orange-and-Blue plan costs $50 a month. You can see which local channels you get here.
Each live TV streaming service offers a free trial, allows you to cancel anytime and requires a solid internet connection. Looking for more information? Check out our live TV streaming services guide.

Is Tom Brady's viral video real or fake?
Tom Brady is great, but he's not that great. Is he?
The experts are calling "fake."
"Training camp starts this week," the quarterback for the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers writes. "I'm looking forward to having some actual receivers again…"
Brady is good, but this is Minnesota Fats trick shot good. And it turns out even an athlete as good as Brady needed some help with this one. When he posted the video on Instagram, Brady tagged video director Ari Fararooy and creative agency Shadow Lion, a company that was founded "with the goal of supporting Tom Brady's off-field media efforts."
Fararooy captioned the video on his own Instagram by saying, "haters will say it's fake," and then explained things/muddied the waters further by crediting himself as the director and person in charge of VFX (visual effects), Shadow Lion as the producer, and creative studio Warm N Fuzzy TV with the CGI, or computer-generated imagery.
Fararooy and representatives for Shadow Lion and Warm N Fuzzy TV didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. But urban-legends site Snopes.com seized on the viral video and started pointing out that, in addition to the credits given to people who work to create special effects, there are other indicators that this isn't real.
Snopes points out a three-tweet thread from the Captain Disillusion account, which often points out and explains fake or misleading images and videos.
"Note how the patch of the background behind/above the machine wobbles differently from the rest of the environment," the account noted. "It's hiding a person who was catching/throwing back the ball I guess. Also……check out how the machine & its cord slide around on the field. The perfect isolation and the single rigid toy bounce with which it falls tell me it's CG! They prob didn't want to crash a real machine because for some reason they cost $2K dollars."
Fake or real, fans had fun with Brady's video, Remember that deflated football issue back when Brady was with the New England Patriots? Twitter users sure do.
"Is that fully inflated?" wrote Andrew Feinberg.
Another person thought the machine could make an NFL team, writing, "Sign that thing to a 3yr 15mil contract."
Said one Twitter user of the video, "I can't tell if this is real or nah."
And someone else responded, "the fact that we have to consider it, shows his greatness lmao."
It won't be long before Brady will be out there throwing for real again. The Bucs' first preseason game is Aug. 14 against the Cincinnati Bengals, and the Bucs will play the Dallas Cowboys in the first real game of the NFL season on Sept. 9.

UFC 269: Amanda Nunes loses in shock upset, Oliveira defeats Poirier
Amanda Nunes lost in the most shocking of ways.
Our main event is on, with both fighters making championship weight.
UFC 269 is finished and, top to bottom, was one of the most intense night of fights in UFC history.
Headlines will almost certainly focus on Amanda Nunes's shock defeat to Julianna Pena. It could be the biggest upset in UFC history. Pena tired Nunes out on the feet and choked her out on the ground. It was an unbelievable performance from Pena.
Dustin Poirier, fresh off two wins over Conor McGregor, lost via submission in a back and forth war with UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira.
You can read our live round-by-round coverage below.
Just overheard Poirier saying he's donating $20,000 to a charity of Oliveira's choice. Dude is a legend.
Dustin Poirier has a chance to finally become the undisputed lightweight champion.
I don't think I can even settle down for this one, but I'll try my best. Deep breaths…
This fight is the very definition of a coin toss.
Poirier's mentality and will to win is unmatched in the lightweight division and he comes with great boxing and a solid gas tank. Will that be enough to defeat Oliveira and his unique skillset? I'm not sure. Oliveira has the best jiu jitsu, maybe in the entire UFC, and has made marked improvements in his striking.
This is gonna be a fantastic contest.
My prediction: Oliveira via submission
Still haven't recovered from Nunes loss, but let's go. This fight is gonna be great.
Man these guys are firing early. Poirier hits Oliveira clean but both are slinging here. Poirier seems to be landing cleaner though with big shots. Oliveira landing some big knees to the body though.
Now Oliveira is shooting for the takedown. Poirier is surviving and appears to have the advantage on the feet.
This is a CRAZY first round with an insane pace. Poirier hits him clean and knocks Oliveira to the ground, but doesn't follow him down for long.
Man, Poirier is landing BIG but Oliveira is also landing, but nothing like Poirier.
My Score: 10-9 for Poirier
This is gonna be a war of attrition. Poirier is good at those.
Oliveira is going straight to the grappling here, which is very smart.
Now Oliveira is on his back in a weird position. Now he sweeps and Poirier is on the bottom. This could be bad for Dustin.
Oliveira seems to just want to consolidate this position. Not really working for any submissions just yet. He lands a big elbow though. He's grinding right now, just trying to do damage with short shots.
Now Oliveira is landing huge elbows. Dustin could be in trouble here. He'll likely survive, but this could be a turning point in the fight.
My Score: 10-9 for Oliveira
Keen to see how Dustin fares here. Oliveira really beat him up in the last round.
Man Oliveira goes straight to the back in 20 seconds flat. Damn. This is really bad. Oliveira thrives in this position.
AND POIRIER TAPS TO A REAR NAKED CHOKE.
Damn that was so fast, and so technical. Oliveira is so good man. He is so good. And guess what? He had to go through some real adversity, which was the knock on Oliveira. Incredible performance there. Feel for Poirier, but nice work by Oliveira
Oliveira wins via submission
Amanda Nunes: The greatest female fighter of all time.
Having conquered both the bantamweight and featherweight divisions, Amanda Nunes has beaten almost every single high level female fighter ever. Ronda Rousey, Holly Holm, Cris Cyborg, Valentina Shevchenko — Nunes has beat them all, often in spectacular fashion.
Julianna Pena doesn't have a chance here
Pena's best opportunity here is in the grappling, perhaps in the clinch up against the cage, but I just can't see a single way she doesn't get obliterated here. Nunes isn't just in a different league, she's in a different plane of existence.
My prediction: Amanda Nunes via TKO/KO.
Shocking that Nunes is still only 32? Just saw that on the tale of the tape. She could be running this sport for another 5 years at this point. Terrifying.
Also, interesting:
Anyway, the fight!
A leg kick takes Pena down but Nunes allows her back up. Nunes tags her again with a jab and Pena is down. Pena takes a shot on the ground, gets back up, but Nunes is just too strong of a grappler and gets her back down again, she's just full on big-sistering Pena right now.
Now Nunes has the back.
Pena survives though, gets into half guard and appears to be trying to get back to the feet, but yeah, Nunes is really controlling this fight. Julianna sort of has a kimura grip, but nothing was every gonna come of it.
My score: 10-9 for Nunes
Man Pena has landed some shots and the crowd is going nuts. This is getting sloppy and man… Nunes is losing this round!
Nunes is playing a dangerous game here and whoaa…. they're just full on exchanging here! Cannot believe this is happening here.
Pena is getting the better of this and now Pena is on her back, what the hell!!!
Nunes has tapped to a choke. I cannot believe it. Holy shit. HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT. I am in shock here. Complete shock.
Julianna Pena wins via submission
I am in shock. This is honestly the biggest upset in UFC history in my opinion. Cannot believe it. Cannot believe what I just saw. Nunes was just too confident in her ability to steam roll and sloppily just KO Pena.
"I'm not surprised motherfuckers," says Julianna Pena, in a throwback to Nate Diaz's famous proclamation after beating Conor McGregor in their first fight.
Neal vs. Ponzinibbio is a fight between two high level welterweights.
Bit of a strange turn of events with this fight: Geoff Neal was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated and the unlawful carrying of a weapon on Thanksgiving Day. That's put a bit of a weird cloud on this contest.
Will it impact how this fight plays out on the night? Hard to say. Either way it's a close pick 'em of a fight. Geoff Neal is a hard hitter who rarely makes mistakes, but until very recently Ponzinibbio was a fighter very close to a title shot.
But Ponzinibbio has struggled a little as of late, so I'm favouring Neal in this one.
My prediction: Geoff Neal via decision.
Can't wait to try and spell Ponzinibbio a million times during this fight.
(Nah, jokes. Of course I have that copied ready to paste!)
This is great match making. High stakes fight here, will really decide which of these fighters has a future in the welterweight division.
Slow start to this one. A lot of lateral movement from Ponzinibbio as is his style, but low output in terms of strikes thrown. Neal lands a head kick, but didn't seem to impact Ponzinibbio too much. Neal is turning it on a bit here though, has clearly landed the most strikes so far and appears to be winning this round.
Ponzinibbio coming on a little stronger towards the end there, but I'm still scoring this for Neal.
My score: 10-9 for Neal
Crazy this is the first time I've written the words "Round 2" in this liveblog.
Ponzinibbio seems to have a lot less caution in this round so far, seems to really be driving the action.
Neal showed off some great takedown defence, was taken down but managed to scramble back up. Ponzinibbio appears to be winning this round though. Very close, ugly fight so far but Ponzinibbio is getting the better of these exchanges in round 2.
My score: 10-9 for Ponzinibbio
Man, Neal's corner was very vocal there and they're right. Neal needs to win this round.
Neal is responding, landing clean shots here. He's winning the early exchanges in this round so far. Neal is landing great check hooks, coming over the top. This is a close, clumsy clash of styles and it's tough to say how the judges will score this.
These guys are opening up in the latter half of this round, Neal cracks Ponzinibbio hard, repeatedly, taking over in the final minute.
My score: 10-9 for Neal (29-28 for Neal)
Geoff Neal wins via split decision
Cody Garbrandt is making his 125 debut.
I am very hyped for this one. Garbrandt almost certainly had the fastest hands in the bantamweight division, where he once reigned as champ. He also has bricks for hands with some of the best highlight reel knockouts in UFC history.
But he's making his flyweight debut here, against Kai Kara-France, another heavy hitter with a penchant for getting into firefights. Considering Garbrand's storied history of getting into wars at bantamweight, you can expect a potential fight of the night contender here. At the very least, hard not to imagine someone going to sleep here. Don't blink.
My prediction: Kai Kara-France by KO/TKO
Garbrandt looks big here. Massive compared to Kara-France. Very leg kick heavy attack early from Garbrandt as well and both seem respectful of one another's power.
Ooft. Garbrandt gets melted by a huge shot from Kara-France but somehow survives, even inviting Kara-France in for more. He survives, but in another exchange Kara-France hits him clean again and damn… Garbrandt is clean out with a final huge shot.
Damn, this must be a tough one for Garbrandt to take.
Kai Kara-France wins by KO/TKO.
Sean O'Malley, one of the most unique fighters currently in the UFC.
Sean O'Malley looks like he was designed and built using the Saints Row 2 create-a-character mode, which I absolutely say as a compliment.
He's also one of the most exciting up-and-coming fighters in the UFC's stacked bantamweight division. Every time he fights it's an event.
This contest, with Raulian Paiva, feels a bit like a lay-up for O'Malley, but I'm excited to watch it regardless.
My prediction: O'Malley by KO
O'Malley stabbing with those front kicks as per usual. Paiva seems to want to pressure. Ah looks like O'Malley caught the cup with one of those shots? Or maybe not? Hard to say.
O'Malley is landing the jab here, but this is quiet in the early goings. Paiva has landed a few legs kicks though, which O'Malley has struggled with historically.
And whoaaaaaaaa… O'Malley just crushed Paiva. He landed clean with a right over the top and had Paiva rocked. From that point he swarmed. Just a crazy output of huge shots to the body and then clean to the head. Damn…
Just crazy shot selection. O'Malley is so smooth man. Can't be long until he faces someone high up the rankings now.
O'Malley wins by TKO
Hello everyone, UFC 269 is kicking off! We've already seen a number of great fights on the prelims, most notably a wild KO by Tai Tuivasa, and a great comeback win from Dominick Cruz over Pedro Munhoz.
But the best is still to come. Let's get cracking.
Amazon to stream 21 regular-season Yankees games on Prime Video
After skipping last year, Amazon plans to broadcast Yankees games on Prime this season, for fans in the New York area.
Aaron Judge and his New York Yankees will be on Amazon Prime Video this season.
Other notable Prime-broadcasted matchups include a Subway Series game against the New York Mets on July 2 and rivalry games versus the Boston Red Sox on July 23, Aug. 17 and Sept. 24. As with other Amazon sports telecasts, the company will be incorporating its X-Ray feature to let viewers "access live in-game stats, team and player details, and real-time play-by-play information."
The games will be available to watch on any device that has access to Prime Video, but the X-Ray perks will be limited to those streaming on Android, iOS and Fire TV devices. While streaming on its service, Amazon notes that it does not have the exclusive on these games and that they will also air on traditional TV stations such as PIX11, YES and "other over-the-air partners for Yankees telecasts."
Amazon's broadcasting of Yankees games is its latest expansion into the world of sports for its Prime Video service. Last week the company announced that it had acquired the rights to the NFL's Thursday Night Football package for the next decade starting in 2023.
A full list of the Yankees' games coming up on Prime Video and New York's opponents is below. Games played on the road are designated with an @. All times are in ET.
Jake Paul tweets that he's a 'retired boxer,' but sure doesn't sound 'retired'
Do retired boxers spend this much time talking about future fights? Plus: Paul says Tyron Woodley can't cover up his "I love Jake Paul" tattoo.
Jake Paul fought Tyron Woodley on Aug. 29, but is he hanging up the gloves?
That … seems unlikely. Paul has a multi-fight deal with Showtime. And he has already been hinting around at a next fight, whether that be with Conor McGregor or Tommy Fury. Paul told reporters at the post-fight press conference that he sees McGregor as an easier fight than Woodley. And Tommy Fury, who beat Paul's sparring partner, Anthony Taylor, on Sunday, talked some serious trash about Paul's abilities.
"I've done my part tonight, he's done his part tonight, why not make it next?" Fury said. "It's the fight that's on the tip of everyone's tongue. No one wants to see him fight another MMA kid. Why not fight against a pro boxer?"
Representatives for Showtime and Jake Paul didn't immediately respond to a request for clarification on the "retired boxer" statement.
But it's worth noting that McGregor himself tweeted in 2016 that he was retiring, then fought again four months later. Boxers — and other athletes — love to hint at leaving their sport, but sometimes it's just talk. What's the old joke? How can we miss you if you won't go away?
Paul followed up the "retired" tweet with details on the "I love Jake Paul" tattoo Woodley agreed to get after his loss.
"Tyron's tattoo guidelines," Paul tweeted. "1. 3×2 inches at least. 2. Can't get it covered. 3. Permanent. 4. Must post on social media. 5. Has to be visible with shorts and shirt on."
Woodley said after the fight that he'd get the tattoo, but he wants a rematch, and the fighters shook on it. (So … more evidence Paul isn't retiring?)
Social-media users had fun with both tweets.
In response to the "retired boxer" tweet, one Twitter user wrote that Paul was the "first retired boxer in the world who never actually fought a real boxer."
And as an answer to Paul's list of tattoo guidelines, the MMA Humour account came up with a list of "Jake Paul Opponent guidelines," stating that Paul's opponents must be retired, have had zero boxing matches, and be smaller and older than Paul himself.
But others defended Paul. One Twitter user wrote, "Jake Paul had the world against him yet he prevailed 4-0. Now people will still hate on him after he's shown what true dedication is."

Logan Paul vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. results: A grim, disappointing affair with no winners
The fight was bad. Very bad.
It was hardly the fight of the century, let's put it that way.
Elsewhere on the card, Badou Jack defeated Devin Colina in a one-sided mismatch. Louis Arias shocked Jarrett Hurd in a split decision, and former NFL star Chad Johnson survived a four-round brawl with Brian Maxwell.
Here's my round-by-round breakdown as it happened…
This is the world we occupy — a YouTuber facing off against maybe the best boxer of all time. What will happen? I'm fairly certain Logan Paul gets tired in three or four rounds and Mayweather does whatever he likes, but who the hell knows? I'm tuning in like the rest of the world because I love a freak show.
Just before the fight starts I want to say this is insane.
We're truly living in a strange future.
Let's go folks…
Huge size discrepancy here. Pretty crazy to even see two people like this fighting one another. Wild ending to the first round where Paul started wailing big loopy shots. Not a single one got through, but the crowd went wild. Floyd clearly waiting for Paul to gas himself out, but he does seem to be having issues getting in on someone so big.
Credit to Logan Paul, he looks a lot more polished than he did against KSI. Floyd appears to be cruising however, not throwing much but letting Paul punch himself out a little. I'd expect him to move forward more once the punches lose their sting.
Floyd is starting to open up a bit here and landed a really crisp left hook on Paul, but Paul is leaning on Floyd, putting all that weight on him. That said, Paul is looking tired. I expect things to get bad for him from here on out.
Mayweather is walking Paul down now, and Paul looks exhausted. Mayweather landed a number of big shots, but Paul landed a huge punch as well. I think Mayweather will look to finish in the next two or three rounds.
Floyd is using the high guard and just marching Paul down, landing big shots. Paul doesn't really appear hurt, just extremely tired. The camera goes to Paul's brother Jake, who claims he's winning the fight. He's clearly not.
He is doing pretty well though!
Paul's defense is surprisingly sound. A very strange round here, where Logan just repeatedly threw lazy jabs out, and Mayweather looked for the kill shot. This is a little frustrating to watch.
The commentary is a little disrespectful at this point. Sort of annoying. This fight is not great either, Paul looking sloppy and Mayweather appears years from his prime. Not gonna lie, this is rough fight. No real great shots landed.
Boos coming down from the crowd now, as Mayweather and Paul clinch their way through another grim round of boxing.
That was somehow worse than I expected.
In case you weren't aware, they're not scoring this one — so no winner has been announced. A real anti-climax for a number of reasons. A combination of Paul's size and Floyd losing a step meant this one never felt like it was in any danger of being stopped. Props to Logan Paul, though, for making it to the end of the fight.
"I'm not 21 any more," Floyd admitted in the post-match interview, but also mentioned being "surprised" by Paul.
Paul seemed hyped just to be, there to be honest, jumping around. He called for a rematch. Not sure if it was a joke.
Hopefully it was a joke.
The other fights on the card were all far more entertaining than the main event.
Here's my round-by-round breakdown of each fight.
Chad Johnson was sharp in the opening rounds, but got knocked down in the fourth.
This is the other "celebrity" boxing match on the card.
Chad Johnson is a former NFL star, and Brian Maxwell is an ex-MMA fighter. Despite being a massive MMA fan, I've never heard of Maxwell, most likely because he had a 2-3 record and never came close to touching a major promotion.
This feels like a bit of a set-p fight for Johnson, but who can tell. These crazy fights could go either way.
Some wild exchanges in there. Johnson had the best of it with some accurate, hard shots, but looked tired in spots.
Forgot to mention that MMA legend Jorge Masvidal is in Johnson's corner! Awesome.
Johnson is accurate with these shots, man. Laser jabs, some great straight shots. Another round for Johnson for me.
Maxwell comes out strong in this round, initiating wild exchanges and loopy shots. Johnson absolutely looks like he's starting to tire here. This could get messy.
Whoa. Maxwell laid Johnson out with an absolute ripper right hook. He gets back up and survives the remainder of the round. Lucky this is a four-round fight, or it could have gotten tough for Johnson there.
All up a truly interesting fight. Johnson started out slick with the jabs, but tired fairly quickly. Since it's an exhibition there'll be no winner announced. Truth is the fight was close.
Great one to start.
Jarrett Hurd in better times. He lost tonight in a split decision.
This is the first of two legitimate boxing matches on this card. Keen to see how this one goes.
Great start for Arias here, landing multiple heavy shots, particularly in the opening two minutes. Hurd did better when he took the initiative and moved forward, and landed some clean, tight uppercuts at close range. Fun first round.
Our score: 10-9 Arias
Weird start with rain getting on the canvas and Arias slipping? Wild. This could be a problem moving forward for all the fights. And then they had issues restarting the clock. Grim.
Fantastic round here, with both fighters throwing heavy leather. Arias was landing huge shots that Hurd seemed to just walk through. Every time Hurd landed, however, he appeared to do damage.
That said, Arias landed a huge shot in the final 30 seconds that appeared to stagger Hurd. Incredible three minutes of fighting.
Hurd is just taking heaps of punishment here with Arias getting in tight and just throwing nothing but power shots. Hurd appears to be wearing it well, however, and when they finally break, he appears to land a few from the outside.
A better round for Hurd here, but Arias still takes it. His right hook from inside simply cannot miss.
This is shaping up to be a war of attrition. Hard one to score, probably Hurd's best round, so I'll give it to him.
Our score: 10-9 Hurd
Arias landed big shots in this round but is really starting to look tired. At points Hurd was able to just walk him down. Hurd could potentially take over this fight in the remaining rounds.
A round marred by two low blows from Hurd, but a tough one to score. Again I'm giving this one to Hurd, who marched forward and appeared to land the biggest blows.
Big round for Arias, who landed crisp, fast combinations inside. Hurd appeared to fatigue in the last minute, which allowed Arias to really take the initiative. This fight has been fantastic so far.
Round opens with a flash knockdown for Arias, who protests. I'd need to see the replay. He comes out furious at the call and starts wailing on Hurd, clearly winning the remainder of the round.
Our score: 9-9
What a round! Arias and Hurd are just smacking each other here, and Arias appears to get the best of it, legitimately hurting Hurd for maybe the first time in the fight. Hurd appears to knock Arias down just at the bell, but it's not scored.
I'm scoring this one for Arias.
Our final score: 96-93
Official scores: Split decision 95-94 Hurd, 97-93 Arias, 96-93 Arias.
Badou Jack is back.
Badou Jack is stuck here with a last-minute replacement after his previous opponent, Jean Pascal, tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. Jack is heavily favored against the replacement Colina, but who knows what happens?
Jack comes out strong with a lightning fast jab, but hits Colina with a low blow early. Not much activity from Colina here.
Clear round for Jack here.
Our score: 10-9 Jack
A point taken from Colina for holding, and Jack is just extremely aggressive. A late counter from Colina isn't enough to take the round here.
Another point for holding for Colina, who looks completely out of his depth here. Colina was hurt and grabbed Jack to recover. Again a late flurry from Colina isn't enough. Jack is cruising.
Colina hits the canvas twice in the opening minute, being completely overwhelmed by Jack. Then, in the final seconds of the round, gets knocked down for the third and final time. Pretty poor showing from Colina, even coming in as a last-minute replacement.
Jack Badou wins by TKO
