Stephon Fulton, Jr. vs. Naoya Inoue & Robeisy Eloy Ramirez Carrazana vs. Satoshi Shimizu RBR.

Damn this is early.

 

Damn, no way I am going to be able to follow this.

Go Monster!

 

Doors at Ariake Arena open at 13:40 local time in Tokyo (forty minutes past midnight EST), first bell at 1400 (1am EST), ESPN+ main card coverage begins at 17:30 local (4:30am EST)**. Co-main event ring walks (Ramírez vs. Shimizu) targeted for 1930 local/6:30am EST, main event for 2100 local/8am EST.

I'm planning to pop a trazodone, get a tight 8 hours, and report for the co-main. No classes in the morning, free & clear to devote my full attention.

** so does alternate coverage w/ Thai commentary on the PPTV HD 36 channel on YouTube:

It really sinks in when you see this ****. I'm going to set my alarm for 7am and hope for the best. I put a call on my work calendar so no one will bother me or expect a response to emails.

 

We are spoiled AF in the States. Especially with UFC cards. 90% are at times to accommodate the States. And the majority of the euro cards MMA and Boxing are on in the afternoon. Only time we get these ridic early or overnight start times in the States is the Asian cards. They don’t give a f**k about the US.

 

Inoue is going to eat him up.

 

How the hell is 5am early lol.. last weekend I woke up at 3am for the Russian card.

Well this one is perfect, starting just as I reached home from work.

 

It’s not “early” if you get up everyday at 6 or 7 or work the graveyard shift. Which some people do. People work different schedules. My work day doesn’t start til 1030AM so 5AM is way too early for me. I don’t fall asleep until 1-2AM.

 

It starts in 6 hours ?

 

I don't have to wake up in the late night to watch this fight since it's gonna be relayed to BKK my hometown at 4 - 6 P.M. Furthermore, I will watch it free without any charge or payment. So lucky for me.

 

Inoue wearing Winning gloves so that he can tap dat ass.

I get the feeling he really wants to punish Fulton for all his trainers comments.

 

Was going to rise at 7 but playing poker till now. Will watch the replay at 9 or so or when it first comes on.
