Oh dear, Gus Johnson trying to hype a fight between Noons and Mayweather was ridiculous.

It was a crappy event, but it's not like any of the fighters matched up well for each other. The commentating was a lot better this event as well. Gus apparently learned to shut the fuck up some because I didn't hear him too much during the fights.

I still think kicks and knees to the head of a downed opponent need to be allowed. They are no less brutal than elbows to the head of a downed opponent (which promotions like Strikeforce don't allow). Also, at a minimum kicks to the head when performed as an upkick should be allowed.

Knees and upkicks would be great. Right now the only option you have vs someone turtling up on the ground is to punch them in the side of the head, doing no damage, and just prolonging the inevitable. Knees to the head of a grounded opponent would stop this easily and make the opponent actually try to do something.

Strikeforce: Houston was worth the $25 PPV.

Do you buy PPVs? I've just streamed every boxing and MMA event for free the past 2 years. It's a total waste to buy them unless you don't have anything else to blow your cash on.
