Boxing is officially dead as a sport

Boxing's dead. It's currently dead. It might get brought back to life bad, but it's a bad spot. But boxing, boxing as we know is dead.

Subjective take on the health of a sport.

UFC would be a better sport if there were more KOs and no gloves

There should be more KOs. No gloves. Too much defense. There's too much defense. I want more. They should be standing up and just throwing fist. Be a much better sport.

This is a purely subjective aesthetic preference for the sport.

Jake Paul took mercy on Mike Tyson in their boxing match

I guess credit to Jake Paul for not knocking out Mike Tyson. ... He had no chance of winning that. And Jake Paul took mercy on his soul, which should never happen in a boxing match. ... That third round was elder abuse. That was the round where Jake Paul was like, I'm gonna start unloading. And Mike Tyson couldn't move.

While subjective, most boxing analysts and viewers agreed that Jake Paul appeared to stop pursuing a knockout after the mid-rounds.

Ryan Garcia is the new face of boxing

Garcia was awesome and he, he might be the new face of boxing 'cause he is, he's crazy. He's like the perfect amount of crazy fun to watch. Was throwing bombs... he's something else.

Subjective, but Garcia's subsequent PED controversy and erratic behavior have polarized his 'face of boxing' status.

Mark Zuckerberg is an animal and would defeat everyone on the PMT crew in a fight

Zuck is a beast... Zuck would take us down. I hate to say it but kind of an animal. He gets smoked and he... yeah.

Without a sanctioned fight, this remains speculative.

Liver knockouts are the best type of knockout in combat sports

There was also a sick, sick liver knockout. Which is my favorite type of knockout. It is the best. I love to just watch YouTube compilations of liver knockouts because... you get hit in the stomach and then you take two steps back and then it's just debilitating pain that just paralyzes you.

Purely a matter of personal preference.

Dimitri Bivol might be one of the best pound-for-pound fighters of all time

I think Bivol might end up being one of the best pound-for-pound fighters of all time in the world. Maybe in of all time... honestly, for his legacy, which he deserves, I think he needs to fight Canelo again at 168.

Bivol is highly ranked, but 'best of all time' is a subjective and extremely high bar in boxing history.

I would fuck up Jake Paul in a fight 100%

I will fuck up Jake Paul 100%. He's small. He's 5'7 at the tallest. I looked at a picture of him next to Dave Portnoy, and they were the exact same height... I have a bigger reach than Jake Paul. I would totally be able to pick him out from the outside.

Billy Football never fought Jake Paul. Jake Paul went on to defeat several professional athletes and MMA champions.

Conor McGregor is officially back after his 40-second knockout of Donald Cerrone

My whose back is Conor McGregor? He's back. He's so fucking Back. 40 seconds. Cowboys around 40 seconds. Peace, he's back the shoulder straps invented.

While McGregor won this fight, he went on to lose his next two fights against Dustin Poirier, making the 'he's back' claim debatable.

Manny Pacquiao's late-career fights are depressing and sad to watch

He's still fighting. So that's pretty sad. I didn't realize that he was fighting until like a day before. An aging boxer, watching them is one of the saddest things you can do. You know when it's done, and everyone knows, and then they always hang on for a couple extra years, and you're like, let's just try to remember the good times, because this is depressing the fuck out of all of us.

Subjective feeling on athlete longevity, though Pacquiao did continue to fight until 2021.
