    Keep an eye on Kaipo Gallegos. He's in against Pedro Castro this week.

    I just realized theres not a *single* american in the heavyweight top 10. That is wild.

    Has to be extremely rare for that to be the case... and its actually quite extraordinary that a country as big as the US doesnt have a single fighter in the top 10. Not one.

    This would have been somewhat hard to imagine a couple decades ago, imo.

    Crazy how badly Ruiz fell off.

    Has to be up there with one of the most squandered careers of all time. Not necessarily in terms of achievements but certainly in terms of money made.

    Since losing to AJ in the rematch over 5 years ago, and coming back transforming into a more 'in shape' Ruiz... hes had a whopping... 3 fights.

    3 fights in 5 years, hasnt fought in 2025, nothing scheduled as far as I know.....

    For someone that would at least be a semi decent contender, thats wild.

    Truly a one hit wonder. Other than his draw with Big Baby and victory in AJ I, he really has nothing but shot to smithereens has-beens and never-weres. (Ortiz, Arreola, Liakhovich, Dimitrenko, Austin and...er, what's a notable next best win after those? It's a struggle to find a name anybody would've heard of...)

    Y'know I dunno why this occurred to me today, but I got to thinking of when I first got into the sport and perused really old fights on Boxrec. You can get into a ton of interesting rabbit holes doing that. I think the silliest one I ever got into though lead me to this fight.

    "Kid T Bone vs. Kid Pork Chops"

    No idea how I ended up there at this point, but man. The images those names conjure up are pretty hilarious. I like to imagine it was two Danny DeVito looking dudes wearing mascot outfits for their respective cutlet of meat :lol:

    Even funnier, apparently this wasn't the only dude to go by the name Kid Pork Chop. There was another dude who went by it, as one word, whose only fight was a draw in 1919, 15 years before the clash of the cutlets.

    https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/617837

    Again, no idea how I landed on that page, but I'm sure glad I did.

    I love this sport so much :D
