    I just hope they hold the phone horizontally and not vertically lol that seems to be the big trend for people streaming fights from corners nowadays but **** beggars can’t be choosers lol

    It was certainly watchable. I don’t recall there being any issues with quality

    I've seen multiple sources now corroborate the 6am EST start time (here listed as 3am PT, which is 8pm local time in Tokyo) - a little over 3½ hours from now:

    fellow mods - don't be alarmed; just plopping this in here since the poll is set to end a few hours after the fight, so no wiseguys can swoop in and vote after the fact.

    I miss that about vBulletin, if you simply closed a thread containing a poll it would also close the poll. Here in Xenforo posters can still view & vote in the polls of a closed thread, just can't reply to it.

    In hindsight I'm not sure why so many of us were sure Matsumoto was getting stopped.

    Because we assumed if Victor Uriel Lopez who has 4 KO's in 17 matches could stop him in 5, then Roman who just stopped Mantequilla Lopez and Kubo, who's around Matsumoto's level, could stop him as well. It wasn't that much of a stretch.

    That and Matsumoto's tendency to engage in fire fights - Which played right into Romans hands. It really is surprising that it went the distance in hindsight.

    Plus he destroyed López in the rematch. Something was clearly off the first time.

    Yeah, kind of, since I hadn't heard about it until last night.
