Who remembers looking forward after a hard days worth of work to watching Friday night fights. Was the coolest thing, watching these guys progress from undercard fighters to main even attractions. Really wish they'd bring this back!
Watch DAZN. Nearly all the cards are basically the old Friday Night Fight quality shows ... but they charge you $10.99 a month for basically one new card a month. I subscribed to DAZN to watch Joshua fight Povetkin. Over the past seven months since, they haven't really delivered anything beyond a typical Friday Night Fights show. Tevin "Can't Punch with these Cross Eyes" Farmer is basically an old ESPN-quality fighter. I think he's been on DAZN more than anyone. If Joshua is only going to fight once every nine months, I think I'll drop DAZN and just sign up for a free month when he gets around to fighting someone.
Who remembers Teusday night fights? 2 nights of boxing every week. Now you gotta go through apps and what not! Good times!
Tuesday Night Fights were the best because their shows were basically anchored by HEAVYWEIGHTS. They also got consistently higher ratings because they did that. Bowe, Lewis, Golota, Foreman, Holmes, Witherspoon, Tubbs, Zolkin, Jimmy Thunder ... great stuff. Heavyweights rule. The one thing I don't like about Al Haymon is he seems to be REALLY focused on boxers from the 135 to 154 range. Heavyweights consistently deliver more exciting fights than lightweights or welters do.
Weirdly I'm not that sad it's gone while I used to watch it all the time. The last couple of seasons it was constantlly if a featured/home fighter got outboxed, he still won on the cards, no matter how blatant it was. It had become a sad joke at the end.
