    If you look very closely you can see Luis Ortiz with his great-grandson seated ringside.

    This fight sucked. Imagine if Fury showed up in slightly better shape and fought Joshua instead of Seferi. That's this fight instead with over 3 years tacked on.

    After a six-year lay-off, Jeffries was out of shape and had lost most of his muscle. Jeffries weighed over 330 pounds (150 kg), while Johnson was in superb physical condition. The ex-champ had to lose 110 pounds to get down to his fighting weight of 226, a Herculean task in the time he had before the fight.

    This fight is a great proof of what nostalgia glasses wearing hipsters a lot of boxing and sports fans can be.
