Friday night’s fight was
Friday night’s fight was Netflix’s first live-boxing event, that included seven action-packed bouts.
However, viewers on social media reported throughout the night that they.
Were having trouble watching the event on the streaming platform. Some of the issues included buffering delays, lags, and trouble loading the fight.
According to DownDetector, around 90,000 viewers reported outages in the hour leading up to the fight.
Some social media viewers posted images of their frozen TV screens.
And others of the spinning loading wheel, saying they had to reload the app in order to watch it.
Another reported problem was sound from the broadcast, most notably during an interview with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
As he was speaking with other analysts, Jones’ microphone didn’t seem to be working.
Making it hard for viewers to hear what he was saying.
Netflix declined to comment on the issues.
“This is the biggest event,” Paul said on the success of the bout. “Over 120 million people on Netflix. We crashed the site.”
The streaming platform will next show two NFL games on Christmas Day, after signing a three-season deal with the league. Also starting in 2025, WWE’s weekly “Raw” show will be featured on the platform.
In the co-main event, it was the second installment of Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. The crowd and commentators erupted into disbelief and boos when Taylor was awarded a unanimous decision victory.
The two fighters put on a masterclass, Serrano being the aggressor, and Taylor lunging forward with power shots.
Often clashing heads with the challenger.
In the eighth round, the champion was deducted a point after her fourth ruled headbutt.
Serrano seemed to be in control, and was blindsided by the decision. After the fight, Serrano called Taylor a “dirty fighter.” According to Compubox, Serrano outlanded the champion 324-217.
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a think tank based in Washington.
DC said that Russian forces made small advances throughout the eastern front line on Friday.
With heavy fighting occurring in the area of the city of Kupyansk in the northeast and Vuhledar in the southeast.
According to the ISW, which cited Ukrainian military sources in the area.
Russian forces also carried on a “limited” push into the northeastern Kharkiv region from the Russian border.
Ukrainian soldiers became the first to occupy Russian land since World War Two when they launched a break-out attack into Russia’s Kursk region over the summer.
Ostensibly in an attempt to halt Russian advances.
Although it is uncertain if this has been accomplished.
Zelensky has stated that the operation’s objective was to draw Russian forces away from the Ukrainian front lines.
While Ukraine’s considerably smaller army has depended on cutting-edge weapons provided by the West.
Russia has been able to increase its forces by enlisting hundreds of thousands of conscripts.
However, experts warn that Ukraine’s Kursk area could be used as leverage in future peace negotiations.
According to the “winning plan” that Zelensky unveiled last month.
The operation would proceed without establishing “buffer zones” inside Ukraine.
Concerns about developing war fatigue, both domestically in Ukraine and internationally.
Are the reason for the renewed focus on a diplomatic settlement.
Zelensky has consistently refused to give up any Ukrainian territory, including Crimea, which Russia has controlled since 2014. It is unclear, although, what such a compromise may entail.
Zelensky and Trump have had a turbulent relationship for a long time.
Trump was accused of pressuring Zelensky to unearth negative material about US President Joe Biden’s family, which led to his impeachment in 2019.
Trump has maintained that he had a very positive connection with. Zelensky despite years of disagreements.
Trump claimed to have learned a lot
during their September meeting in New York and promised to have the war “resolved very shortly.
His Democratic rivals have charged him with being friendly with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
And claim that his strategy for the war amounts to a surrender for Ukraine that would put Europe as a whole in jeopardy.
Russia refuted allegations earlier this week that Putin and Trump spoke over the phone just days after Trump won the election.
During which the president-elect reportedly cautioned against intensifying the conflict.
Speaking with Trump after the US election, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz told German.
Media that the next US leader had a “more nuanced” stance on the conflict than was widely believed.
