This is one of the most well known fights to have occurred over the last decade. If you enjoy and follow the sport, you are well aware of the reasons for why it is such a well known fight. Oddly enough, because there are so many different factors that've made it such a popular fight over the years, one of the most important of those kinda gets forgotten about: It is a pretty damn entertaining fight. Unfortunately, at lest for those in North America, it seems that this is one of the most difficult fights to find and watch/stream on sites like YouTube. I very much doubt that this version I have edited together, using the video from the international feed that aired in Russia but with the Russian audio track removed and replaced with that heard on the American broadcast, will remain up or any decent period of time. Also unfortunate is that most viewers aren't aware of how to watch YT videos that are geo-blocked, I am thinking of making a short video explaining an fairly simple enough way to watch location blocked videos here on YT, and the method I use generally works on other streaming sites like YT that geo-block videos.
