* Am I fucking crazy, or was there more actual boxing this time around?

Tonight was the first time I really watched a Rough N Rowdy , outside of Pat’s fight last year versus the homophobe, and I loved it… Some bullets since I am still up:

* No headgear was a huge positive… The fighters seemed less encumbered, the viewers felt a little more connected, and there was some great un-tethered hair being batted around throughout the night.

* Maybe there is a way for employees to get it for free but I wasn’t paying attention in class, so I had to shell out the $20 like everyone else and (as the kids say) I ain’t mad.

* If I had one critique- How the fuck do we not grease someone at the venue to keep the lights on for another half hour? That Chinese fire drill towards the very very end caused more anxiety than the main event, and that isn’t good.

* Congrats to Mush… I was pretty vocal this week saying that I really hoped he wouldn’t get hurt. That sentiment de facto put me in the camp that didn’t believe Marty could do it, and that camp was dead wrong. I have zero interest in a rematch, but I liked what I saw from that marble-mouthed sonofabitch.

* And if they do come calling to Marty for a Part II, he should say no… BrownMush will never be GattiWard… If you’re not hard-up for the dough, quit while you’re ahead for once, Champ.

* Maybe next time YP puts on a rubber glove, or at least a finger cot, while noodling around Matt’s eyeball for his loose contact?… But I am no doctor.

* I am also no gynecologist, but I know a cunt when I see one, and the guy who got knocked out by Chef was just that… When you win a fight, that surge of adrenaline is such a euphoric feeling. To have a wrench thrown in that feeling by all the confusion post-fight caused Chef’s peak to unfairly cascade into a valley. No way should Matt Light’s request for a 4th round even been considered once he took his gloves off. Losers deserve to stay lost… Fuck him.

* The only thing lazy about Shaun Latham is his right eye… He worked hard leading up to the fight and made quick work of that hack.

* Smitty might be back on the juice.

* Dave, Robbie, Caleb, Rone and especially Dan do such a good job with that circus… I would love to someday sit ringside with a live mic with those guys.

* That Wocka Flocka guy seems special.
