I don't think it was necessarily scripted, but it wasn't raw boxing. Nor could it be, given the contenders. Once Tyson ran out of gas, any other boxer would've gone for the KO, while Paul just kinda danced around to drag out the latter rounds. It was clearly an exhibition to get them both paid, not a real match.

Nah, boxing ruined boxing with their ass-backwards scoring and match decision-making. Look at Mayweather vs Pacquiao, or even Taylor vs Serrano, where that latter clearly had the upper hand in their respective fights, but the decision went to the formers on technicalities and judging particulars. It's disenchanting to many spectators to see a fight where, betting aside, the majority of people view the fight as going one direction while a small minority place the outcome differently.

Netflix probably didn't want to pay his fee, which I'm sure is up there given that he is 80

It definitely helped that it was on Netflix. That was the difference, at least for me. There is absolutely no way in hell I would've paid for a PPV of that, but given that my wife already has Netflix, it was more of an "eh, why not" type of thing.

Taylor vs Serrano was 100% worth it, that was rad.

Lol all good man. It certainly seems like everyone has their own interpretation of generational cutoffs, but you make a good point of how people born near the cusps can swing either way in terms of identity.

Hell yeah. I save all of our scrap copper over 6awg, and use it at the end of the year towards my employees' bonuses.

I was under the impression that gen x started in the mid 60s, whereas 65 would put this guy at 1959ish

There's a dude in our town that has a lot where everyone dumps their scrap metal and he takes it to recycle. It's pretty rad since our local trash service won't take it (even though they dump everything together, including recyclables, at the transfer station to be hauled off to the dump out of town).

After the 3rd he couldn't stance, he was flat on his feet.

Used existing pool panel on left, added contactor box on right. Left two contactors control pool and spa circ pumps and always on (no variable speed or hi/low legs on motor), coil controlled by emergency shutoff. Right contactor controls spa jet pump, activated by twist timer and same emergency shutoff. Spa jets are run through the right time clock to allow usage from 7am to 10pm. Left time clock is for lighting.

 

Our morning safety meeting definitely didn't involve us watching the apprentice look for the wire stretcher.

Electronic racking system; story goes that the previous guys didn't seem to like how it seated, so this was their 'solution.' Yes, those are 4x4s and a bottle jack.
