Joaquin Buckley knocks out Stephen Thompson in the 3rd round!

Huge KO by Buckley late to secure himself the win against his biggest named opponent to date. From the onset it looked like the plan was to explode forward and try to tie up with Wonderboy. Get to his hips or the body lock and then try to grapple him to the ground. He managed to push Thompson backwards into the fence and get him down a couple times but it wasn't keeping him down. But Thompson was also allowing himself to be pressured into the fence by a guy who was hopping straight forward. Again, age. Those types of entries are things Wonderboy used to make his bread and butter with the counter on. But Buckley is legit fast so while Thompson did land some nice counters moving backwards, it wasn't enough to keep Buckley from just charging him along the fence. And that's what cost Thompson. Instead of circling or using his arms to frame off, he throws up a half hearted kick with his back to the fence and eats an wound up right hook from Buckley that crumbles him to the floor and stops the fight. This is why I don't like people kicking on the back foot. You're inviting someone to step in and hit you while you have a foot off the ground.

Huge win for Buckley, placing him promptly in the top ten at welterweight. Some big fights to be made for him - JDM, Garry, Brady, or Neal. Fun fights (possibly).

Stephen Thompson wrote a great article on npr.org about Luke Combs' cover of Tracy Chapman's masterpiece "Fast Car." I hadn't heard Combs' version before, so I gave it a listen. While it wasn't bad, in no way does it rise above the original.

However, Thompson's article contains this passage, a noteworthy tribute to the original:

It's hard to overstate the greatness of "Fast Car": the inquisitive guitar hook, the deep well of empathy, the restraint that allows a few words ("He says his body's too old for working / His body's too young to look like his") to write chapters of their own. "Fast Car" takes a simple, Springsteenian plea for escape — "You got a fast car / I want a ticket to anywhere" — and uses it as a jumping-off point for a life's story. Chapman's narrator seeks anything but the life she has, seizes an opportunity and makes a go of it, only to find herself a breadwinner whose job "in the market as a checkout girl" isn't enough to keep her out of a shelter. As her situation improves, her needs and ambitions evolve with it: Now paying the bills herself, she sums up the state of her relationship in a few evocative words ("You stay out drinking late at the bar / See more of your friends than you do of your kids") and seeks a fresh escape. In four minutes, she's crafted a novel's worth of storytelling — about desperation and ambition, about subsistence and striving, about the way hope can curdle into disappointment before blooming into a fresh call to action.
