The bloodiest fight of the night was between Ireland’s Katie Taylor and Puerto Rico’s Amanda Serrano. Taylor head-butted Amanda Serrano four times to open an ugly, huge cut over Serrano’s right eye and cheat a win. It was a decision disputed by the entire broadcast crew and every patron watching at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX.
58 year old champ Mike Tyson faced Internet influencer, boxing-disruptor Jake Paul. Tyson is an icon, but there is a huge age difference and Tyson didn’t have legs tonight. Wait for the movie, it will premier on Netflix one day, ad-supported.
Netflix trounces Amazon Prime in live sporting presentations.
Netflix could dominate in the international pay-per-view market. It will be a venue for other major events, NFL is assured. Tonight’s boxing event was stellar. All it needed was Don King.
Others were not so impressed. Though I encountered no issues with the stream, some reports tell a different story.
(USATODAY) The long-awaited fight between Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul from AT&T Stadium was set to be one of Netflix’s biggest streaming events of the year, but technical problems made the event extremely difficult to watch long before Tyson or Paul ever walked to the ring.
Constant buffering and blurry images marred Friday’s undercard, leaving many upset viewers wondering what sort of stress testing Netflix did before millions of people were expected to tune in at the same time.
Maybe some think the boxing event bit the big one, like Tyson bites his glove.
KING 5 chose Kelly Hanson as the permanent host of the midday New Day Northwest lifestyle program. Hanson brings energy and eye candy to an otherwise ho-hum local tv time-filler.

Wayne Lynch saw the appointment of Hanson in tea leaves awhile back and it came true. Could be he knew an insider at the ol’ KING 5. The memo about Hanson and New Day is at the Media Maven site.
Lots of blah blah blah on that statement bottom line is in my opinion new day Northwest is an infomercial show just like Seattle refined they go out and find businesses that want to come on TV and they pay to get on there
You see it was Seattle refined every month he’s pushing a new automobile or a new plumber or a new carpet company
You are correct, sir!
Thanks for the shout out, Lou. BTW some background on New Day. Margaret Larson, ex KING and NBC news anchor was the first host and I am pretty sure every Tegna station has one. I wonder how much pay for play is going on at Studio 13 and ARC Seattle especially with the different show times. KIRO has Steals and Deals and now is doing a sweeps giveaway at 5:10 and 6:10 AM and PM in their newscasts with a word clue to enter a $1,000 contest.
Kelly Hanson is NOT “eye candy”
She’s not the same level as Amity was but if I say more than that then I’ll get chastised for making the comments but she is not eye candy
Do you want the new eye candy?
that’s Hannah Knowles at Channel 4 far as I’m concerned she replaces Liz Duwecke
Eye candy is in the eye of the beholder. Hannah Knowles? She is a very competent tv reporter.
Yes she is a very competent reporter but she needs to be in as a News host on one of the new shows on Channel 4 instead of standing outside on the weather deck giving a report and yes competent and beautiful
