So unsurprisingly AJ-Ruiz 2 might be falling apart but don't worry, Eddie Hearn can still deliver the most anticipated rematch of the year

I had to look up who those people were.

I guess it's the modern-day equivalent to lowtax's fighting career?

actually, yeah, I am a little mad
Both those guys were way better than Lowtax, and more evenly matched. So not a great comparison, freakshow or no.

personally, i'd have saved it until after i avenged the unexpected loss and became one of the best heavyweights to ever lace them up just to show everyone what a fluke the loss was before poo poo talking lennox lewis.

AJ and Lewis have been trading minor quips at each other for a little while now, so this isn't completely out of the blue, but AJ definitely loses for breaking the passive aggressive tone they had maintained before hand.

I'm really curious to see what happens with AJ-Ruiz II. From what I understand the contracts were signed, but I've seen other fights where contracts were signed but the venue was yet to be determined. I don't really blame Ruiz for not wanting to defend his belt in Saudi Arabia, I have to imagine the potential for corrupt judges/officials there is huge and they're not going to favor Ruiz.

It seems to me that Lewis has been sniping at Joshua for awhile now; this is the first time I've seen Joshua really fire back. I imagine Lewis feels threatened by Joshua as they are both British and fairly similar in appearance and demeanour.

I hope GGG isn’t on much of a decline. I love watching him stalk people around the ring.

And I really want him to beat Canelo but I feel like his window is rapidly closing since he’s, what, 37 now?

Devery is good. I've seen him fight a few times and while he's never going to be the best in the division, he's arguably a top 5 guy right now. He's decently technical and hits hard, but can settle into a kind of boring rhythm sometimes.

I watched Yarde's last fight and remember thinking drat, you've got an alright chin, but you don't have the head movement to fight with your left hand that low, and here we are. Decent fight, but way too early for Yarde.

If the Canelo-Kovalev fight is there it supposedly needs to happen on November 2nd. If Kovalev takes the fight it feels more like a cash out than anything

If Yarde had gone to the body from the beginning, he probably would’ve stopped him.

Yarde waited until the middle rounds to go to the body and by then he basically had one round of gas left.

But Kovalev looked like he wanted to piss his pants from the first hard body shot he took until he realized Yarde could barely lift his own arms.

He did fine when he was able to establish the jab but got badly hurt to the body several times including in the eight when it was bad enough that Buddy McGirt threatened to stop the fight. Canelo clearly has less raw physicality than Yarde but is a better boxer and fresher as well as a great body puncher which is very much Kovalev's main weakness. Combine that with a short turnaround time and that just seems like the recipe for a Canelo stoppage.

One of the best things about boxing right now is that it's really easy to find a replay of a biggish fight. Even if you need to watch it with spanish or ukranian announcers on youtube, it's there. And there's even a torrent scene

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlOTHLMDWdY

Just a random thought that came to me while looking for Loma vs Salido


Oh and just to make this more than a dumb link to an old fight, how much taller/longer do you think Loma would have to be to move up through the divisions a la Floyd and Manny?


I wonder if Joshua will stand still and let Ruiz throw rights straight to his solar plexus over and over.

He’s taller than pac but has a negative reach-height differential, right ?
