It’s called Big Knockout Boxing. It’s similar to boxing-boxing, only with more knockouts, a tiny circular ring, shorter rounds and zero room for playing defense.

Friendly reminder: SLS Vegas is opening on August 23. Friendly corresponding announcement: so is Cleo, that famed LA house of Mediterranean flatbreads and pork belly kebabs. Just look for the place with an honest-to-God designated plate-breaking area. Silly Grecians.
Kanye West, Skrillex and José Andrés walk into a festival. Oh... you’ve heard this one before? Fine. Joke’s over. It’s not like you were interested in getting tickets today for a three-day festival in October where those musicians will be performing and that chef will be cooking anyway.
