rare Magic card l00k: Jan 3, 2011

Andy Ruiz Jr., a tattooed Mexican Dusty Rhodes, took a fight with the best heavyweight in the world on a month's notice because the previous contender loved drugs and other boxers wouldn't take the fight.

He is now the best heavyweight boxer in the world by punching Anthony Joshua so much that Joshua gave up.

This is the thread to let everyone know that he is my hero now, and should be yours too.

And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Anthony Joshua got a knockdown, and came out of the round looking like the vastly inferior fighter.

Eddie Hearn believes Saturday's fight between Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz Jr represents the "breakout night" for not only the world heavyweight champion but also for Matchroom USA.

Since re-establishing Matchroom as a major promotional force in the UK, Hearn has come under increasing pressure after expanding into the US, where he has received significant financial backing by streaming service DAZN.

If the more rewarding option was to pursue boxing's most influential market, it will perhaps permanently remain politically sensitive.

Hearn had been given the monopoly of the boxing content of Sky Sports, with whom he has a long-term relationship, but their demands and those of DAZN will occasionally be in conflict and he is also at risk of being expected to deliver too much.

Largely owing to resistance from the US' established boxing powers, Hearn and DAZN are yet to have the influence they had hoped, but by bringing the IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight champion to New York's Madison Square Garden he believes Joshua excelling will prove the start of a run of success.

Well, he was right in a sense.

This was a breakout night for the world heavyweight champion.

Sportsbooks list Joshua as a -2500 favorite (risk $2,500 to win $100), with Ruiz getting +1100 (risk $100 to win $1100)

I mean, if Joshua can knock him out in a rematch, this might end up being the best thing that could�ve happened for Matchroom and DAZN.

Apparently there was an audible laugh from the crowd when Buffer, during intros, said something to the effect of "should this match go the distance", which makes it all the better.
