I figured the Mayweather money might be running out when he was pictured drinking Macallan 12. I'm a regular stiff and that's in my price range so I know El Chino was probably financially in dire straits.

That's a healthy portion he's poured himself

So does Joshua find a scrub to beat down?

Another early round scrub KO for the resume I guess.

Getting hyped for this fight. All possible outcomes (apart from a cagey no throw 12 rounder) bhave a great narrative.

Fun fight to watch. I'm an AJ fan. I was on the edge of my seat as every time he mixed it up with Ruiz it felt like he might get dropped by a stray hook. He was dancing around at distance and it was just a test of if we could keep it up. I thought he was gonna get caught but he managed to stick to the plan.

Looks like we might get AJ v Usyk next. Thoughts? Surely Usyk can't take a straight right from Joshua?

Even with Joshua on his bike Ruiz had him hurt a few times. I think it's a matter of, if Ruiz is 10% more fleet footed then he has opportunities he didn't see in that second fight.

Think Ruiz would also be a bad matchup for wilder?

he pretty clearly chooses to go down the second time, but it's quite difficult to tell the difference between taking a dive and an overmatched guy deciding he's been punched in the head enough for one night

It does feel like he is inviting the headshots though

Middle heavyweight I believe.

Reading the tweet I thought bridgerweight was meant to be a sick burn. Then realised its the actual name wtf

Best outcome is double knockout with both launching sweet hooks to the jaw simultaneously.

Why can't one of the Paul brothers step *up* a weight class or two instead. Deontay Vs Jake Paul. I'd pay to watch that 1 round bloodbath.

Maaaybe he'll get slightly bigger sparring partners.

He will engage the services of a range of different social media influencers to act as sparring partners, e.g. Ryan Toys Review and the kids from the baby shark video

Pulev ate a lot of shots in that fight and so fair play to stay on his feet for most of it and to keep fighting. He looked pretty chill after too. He's made of granite

Gonna be funny to see Wilder sparked out again. Supposedly Joshua is likely to fight Usyk now, which is a good contingency plan.

These are both high risk fights for the champs. I love it.

Joshua has to go for the early KO. But Usyk knows that and is v clever. I think Usyk is the favourite but Joshua is massive and powerful and just needs a good shot or two

I know it's never that simple. But can anyone explain why Joshua didn't just throw more late on? Surely he knew all he had was a puncher's chance?

Maybe he thinks he can win. I'm a dumb homer but I think he has a shot.
