I missed it! I'll watch the breakdown of it and report back with thoughts.

I've been watching the older matches on Youtube lately.
Duran vs Leonard 1 was a 15 round war. What a fight.

forget the breakdown. This is a must watch. I'm sure there is something on youtube already
Finally got around to watching this! That was amazing. Then sad to see the news today that Errol spence crashed his ferrari and is in the ICU this morning.
wow, that is terrible.
Canelo vs Kovalev was a good bout last night. A felt Sergei was closely winning the first 4, then canelo started going for the body and ultimately finding sergey's chin and putting him away. Yeah, kovalev isn't young, but he didn't make it easy for canelo, who went up two weight classes.
Been watching a lot of Ortiz-Wilder pre fight videos. I'm actually somewhat excited for that fight. I'm also hoping to see Ruiz takeout Joshua again. Hoping his weight loss doesn't effect his fight a la Tyson Fury Otto Wallin.
Yes sir!
Those two fights will be great. I would like wilder to win simply because i really want that fury rematch.
I'd also like to see Ruiz win

My head hurts just from watching that Wilder punch.
The power of Wilder is something I don't think we've ever seen before. I may be suffering from recency bias however, it's a bomb that I can't remember seeing.
Joe Louis ... Sonny Liston ... George Foreman ... Mike Tyson ... hmm ...
I had Ortiz winning at least 5 rounds prior to the KO.
I can't recall a KO where the guy gets KO'D like that from a forehead shot. Wilder has insane power for a heavyweight that only weighs 210lbs. He has a lean frame. Not a power one like tyson, lewis or foreman.
Looking forward to the wilder/fury rematch. And the Joshua/Ruiz one as well.

My thoughts exactly. Only way Joshua beats Ruiz is if Ruiz comes in disinterested and not ready to fight. Fury or Wilder would knock Joshua out within 3 rounds.
I can remember George foreman hitting Joe Frazier so hard he was lifted off his feet, and his legs buckled when he came down. JOE BLEEPING FRAZIER.
I thought the fight was at tonight...
My cousin the texted me an hour ago telling me who the winner was. Guess I'm gonna have find a replay on YouTube later

I was disappointed. His prep was horrible.
Anyone surprised by Ruiz in either the build up or the execution of the fight should give their head a shake.
The only BIGGER disappointment was in how tentative Joshua seemed in the latter rounds. By Rd 4 it was clear that Ruiz was there for a cheque, and nothing more. I would have thought Joshua would have had more killer instinct.

i remember posting in the other boxing thread. That earlier this year, news of ruiz having trouble finding motivation to train for the rematch had surfaced.
I guess it showed, when he weighed in 20lbs overweight. This guy was a late replacement and KO'd the champ... Then he has the chance to prove the doubters wrong and sh*ts the bed because he couldn't handle the fame, money and pressure.
AJ got over $75miliion... Ruiz only got 12million for the rematch? Sounds like he had all the leverage in this fight and his managers couldn't get him more money?. Smh
