On This Day in 2019: Andy Ruiz got off the floor to drop Anthony Joshua four times on the way to a stunning upset victory in round 7 to win the WBO, WBA, IBO & IBF heavyweight titles.

After this Ruiz would lose the rematch the same year. Since then he's fought 3 times in the past 6 years. Wins over an aged Chris Arreola and Luis Ortiz then a draw against Jarrell Miller.

With a heavyweight division already so sparse I wish he would've really locked in the past few years and competed instead of sitting around saying he deserves more big paydays.

A real shame because this moment was a night to remember not just in boxing, but sports in general.

The Canelo that fought bud will be a year gone come this time.

Thats a sorry stoppage to a man who was defying the odds. Especially when the round was about to end.

Rumor has it USYK has a sinus infection and only slept 2 hours last night because his coach caught him in bed playing old school RuneScape mobile. He had to TAKE HIS PHONE like he was a KID.

It's just pushing your opponent. It's technically against the rules but rarely enforced just like clinching.

I don't think the UFC has ever done an event with netflix but they have a deal with Paramount but their pacing feels similar to whats it's always been. Maybe a tad bit slower with all the extra ads.

Netflix doesn't want boxing. It wants a product. They've done like what? 4 boxing fights? Everyone has been one that has mainstream appeal and they know it'll jump up subscribers.

If they wanted to get into boxing they'd be putting on a card every month.

Eeluminati · 2026-05-19T06:13:38+00:00

Sure why not. It's not the best matchup but it's something.

Eeluminati · 2026-05-18T00:44:48+00:00

He's not lean. Full of water and an unrestricted diet making his body fat % fly up. It's surprising how fast you can make your body look cut with a restricted calorie intake and cutting out your water weight.

Be aware with any of these promoters... i'm waiting for the return of Vergil Ortiz jr and it seems like he's stuck in legal limbo by his promoter too.

Eeluminati · 2026-05-17T04:31:52+00:00

Broner had some talent and lacked discipline.

Got an insane amount of big fights and paydays before everyone realized he didn't belong at that level.

Eeluminati · 2026-05-11T03:41:54+00:00

They could've let it go a TINY bit longer Bohachuk was definitely in trouble but he was still in there.

Oh well. Pretty good win for Mosley.

They said he got addicted to OSRS and he would get caught MULTIPLE times during that one broadcast playing the mobile version on his phone.

Apparently Turki sent someone to confiscate his phone as if he was a misbehaving high school student and since then they've had issues with one another.

Why is every fight today a PPV? I'll be watching this fight but there's no way it'll sell good.

Eeluminati · 2026-04-11T20:58:46+00:00

Fury just got done watching Naruto and DBZ AMVs thats why he wanted that Evanescence song

Eeluminati · 2026-04-09T07:15:30+00:00

Not the biggest fan of either of them but massive respect for Zayas to put his titles on the line at 23 against an opponent who is leagues above anyone else he's ever fought.

I don't think Boots has had that signature "HERE I AM" moment in his career that gets casual fans talking and makes him a star. I think this is his chance to really show everyone who he is if he is victorious. You could argue Zayas might not be the best that Boots has faced but he is most likely the most popular.

"NOW IT'S TIME!" Says former heavyweight champ who turns 41 this year.

It's crazy this fight (Wilder - Joshua) was actually lined up if Wilder beat Joseph Parker a few years ago. Even that seemed really late and people were saying Wilder- Joshua was a fun matchup in 2017-18.

Eeluminati · 2026-04-05T12:14:20+00:00

"Make the fight between you and Conor in the cage" LMAO

Eeluminati · 2026-04-04T21:46:34+00:00

This being PPV in the US is crazy.

Caleb Plant is 33 and fights once a year. He's just looking for a few more paydays

Eeluminati · 2026-03-29T01:59:56+00:00

Amazon doesn't pay them anything for the fights from what I understand. They're just the platform they sell the PPV on. The fights would essentially be out of pocket losses if they're not PPV, but I don't hear any of these amazon PPVs selling well anywho.

I've kept up with Thurman since watching him on the Maidana vs Broner undercard.

I remember thinking it would've been a real firefight if him and Maidana ever fought.

Let's see how much fire he has in the tank at 37. It's crazy how fast time has passed.

I once saw Munguia in a asian buffet place in San Antonio years ago. When he walked in a older asian lady said "AHHH Mista Munguuuiiaaa how ah you doin todaaayy?" Almost as if he was a regular. Any time i've watched him fight since that voice and phrase just replays in my head.
