- 14:40The opening round begins; a knockdown and an illegal knee bring early interruptions.
- 19:50The bell starts the second round between Mizuno and Taghizade.
Yumeto Mizuno and Nihad Taghizade meet in the opening kickboxing bout of Sky Sports' busiest new upload, with Mitch Chilson and Doug Malagon introducing the action from Bangkok. The Friday Fights 176 broadcast has collected roughly 14,000 views, making it the most watched of the channel's seven releases.
The opening has plenty to untangle: Mizuno lands an early left-hook knockdown, while an illegal knee in the clinch brings a referee's warning for Taghizade. Before the fighters arrive, the broadcast previews a card spanning Muay Thai, kickboxing and MMA.
A different kind of sporting milestone comes from Guangzhou. Harriet Dart's final against Lilli Tagger supplies highlights of her first WTA Tour title, drawing roughly 12,000 views. Meanwhile, the newest rugby league compilation has become the channel's busiest individual video right now. Its subject is the season away from the scoreline: interviews, behind-the-scenes laughter and broadcast bloopers.
There is room for reflection, too. Doug Williams joins The Moments That Make Us to recall an early sporting memory and a career turning point, in an upload made for Black History Month. Florian Zoller's Austrian highline record adds a rather more elevated sporting setting.
Sky Sports added subscribers over the week, although its current daily viewing is well below its usual level. Among nearby sports channels, Fox Cricket had a particularly busy week, while GCN Racing was quieter and gained no subscribers. Here, the fresh source of momentum is Super League's less serious side, following the Grand Final coverage we reported here last month.
