    I've also been telling the clowns that winning on the road or in your opponent's backyard is that much more difficult for a variety of different reasons than it is winning at home where everything is stacked in your favour. Sometimes just one of these reasons can be enough to get the W but they can combine to make it that much more difficult too.

    All true. Andy needs a repeat performance if he wants to get out of Dodge with all his belts.

    Awesome fight by Ruiz. Can see what will happen next though, rematch clause and it will be held in the UK where they have a ref who will separate whenever Ruiz gets in range where he can hurt AJ like what happened to Joseph Parker - meaning he can't get his best chance of winning into the fight and AJ will get them back and they'll pretend it never happened

    Well said, it's this arrogance from Hearn and his stable, where they believe their own hype is what makes them so unlikable.

    Finally some poetic justice after that poor woman got robbed from a well deserved victory to retain her titles.

    I wonder what price AJ will be with the bookies in re-match?

    Good post.

    Yeah I agree, I'm taking nothing away from Ruiz, he had a 5 week camp, came in a huge underdog and performed brilliantly.

    And credit to Team Ruiz, whoever came up with the game plan and got Ruiz that settled and ready (might just be Ruiz' nature) .. but his Team deserve a lot of credit.

    Don't ask him, if you won't listen to the answer. Sure Joshua was folding, but he answered the question.

    Robbing B words. They already robbed 2 fighters just tonight (against Josh Kelly and Katie Taylor).

    I guess Andy Ruiz Jr seen this and thought:

    no way jose!

    Yep, and that is where his trainer should have made firmer steps to intervene and ensure the W. McCracken can't see the wood for the trees.
