    Ruiz lost the boxing fight. But he won the food fight.

    I had it 117-110. For knyba.

    Early on knyba wasn't even landing the jab that often but it was also the only thing that was happening. I think knyba can be an opponent for someone but I don't think he's so special. And with that said Ruiz needs to hang them up or to face someone like Chisora Ruiz hasn't been good since he upset Joshua. And he looked like shite in that until he was dropped and joshua tried to end it.

    I expect the shift judging was done because they knew Frank Warren wanted Ruiz to fight one of his guys and destroy him.

    Ruiz could still be an opponent to a Brit outside the top 10. But that's about it.

    I disagree. Ruiz outboxed AJ in first 2 rounds.

    Was out last night catching up on the RBR, seems I didn't miss too much?

    Jab-fest from Knyba, and Ruiz toast it seems

    Had it 114 - 113 Knyba, same as two of the judges. Apparently you don’t win points for body shots anymore but you do win points for missing jabs? Still, the right guy won.

    Knyba does the basics really well and with that in mind, you've always got a solid chance of victory against Ruiz

    If Ruiz doesn't get space to fight on the inside, he is pointless

    Was very surprised to see how many people were totally writing Knyba off before hand

    Didn't have much faith in Ruiz when he signed that deal.

    Waste of money

    Agreed. Referee should continue the fight or stop it. He gave Ruiz too much time to recover, and robbed Knyba of important seconds to finish the job.
