Get a woody when a complete setup backfires. Instead of fighting another undefeated fighter, they pick a guy with 6 losses just like the last opponent and this time gets clobbered. 50-1 underdog.

Going in I thought Kurt would win but I thought this was a tough matchup for Scoby. He was undefeated but had limited experience. Linger always brings it with deceptive power and has a helluva chin...tough fighter.

I like Linger, he's what makes boxing what it is but I also feel heartbroken for Scoby. Both guys are class acts.

I hope Scoby's team didn't just look at those 6 losses and think Dakota would be a soft touch. He beat Matthew Gonzalez (even tho the judges had it a draw) and beat Josue Vargas. Only time I've seen Linger dominated was against Brandun Lee.

That was an entertaining card.

I will never feel sorry when a guy is a 50-1 favorite gets scorched. Boxing is filled with 13-0 fighters fighting 13-6 fighters and this has got to stop so nothing more enjoyable when setups go wrong. Once in a while the applecart gets turned. Like when Jose Felix knocked out Gary Cully. That one was nice.

I fell asleep just before it started...I was pretty surprised to hear this, but it is nice when the underdog has a good day.

Dakota Linger should go full time as a boxer. He is far from perfect but he makes it work for him.

Dude has a heck of a chin, good motor and enough power to make a difference.

He's incredibly awkward with everything he does in the ring but as you accurately state, "he makes it work for him".

Regarding commentary, DAZN really needs to make Corey Erdman their primary commentator. No disrespect to any of their other guys but Erdman is the best and most knowledgeable in their stable.

Ak and Barak aren't bad but they did show a healthy dose of bias towards Scoby in the main event.

That was a fun card , enjoyable fights and good matchmaking . Who was that clown referee who asked the fighters if they had anything that they wanted to say to each other before the fight , Mr."Any last words".....I almost fell out of my chair. I hope that someone explained to the guy that it's not what he's supposed to be saying. He's supposed to be asking if they have any questions for him , not if they want to continue the press conference. That was pretty funny though , ****** but funny. I was waiting for one of the fighters to say something, he sure paused long enough .They were probably wondering if it was.some kind of a set-up.
