    The echoey voices are driving me insane. Someone at ESPN needs to be fired.

    Lost every round, down early - and pulls out a KO (with the round clock running out, no less). Is there a a more epic way to capture your first world title?

    On second view, it's hard to really argue the ref's call.

    I also think Ruiz's pride got the best of him. Take a knee and the 10-7 round. Hell take a 10-6 round. But don't just stand there and get wrecked.

    Nah...wasn't that bad. Ruiz was hurt badly to the body, and looked close to being defenceless after getting knocked back into the ropes with a right hand.

    Ref could have called it a kd, but Ruiz wasn't in a good way. Hardly of the British variety.

    No, It's like some sort of unrealistic Rocky style story, delighted for Ceja.

    Perhaps the PBC has been listen to its critics or actually reading the ratings reports. PBC is doing it right tonight. Matching its fighters tough.

    There are people tuned into the Mosley fight and missed this heck of a fight.

    Well, funnily enough, people watching Diaz Jr. vs. Arceo were laughing at those of us watching this just a short while ago...

    I buy all the pay per views, but I just couldn't bring myself to buy that.
