    The reactions of Fury and Wilder are so telling. The latter is such a colossal pleb. Big Tyson's going to beat them all.

    Ruiz Jr v Fury to unify the division. Battle of the tubsters.

    I need to start respecting male slobs more. Especially since they technically have a tyre around their gut.

    As Dylan Whyte says, the drugs don't work.

    Love a fat Mexican being the heavyweight champ.

    I think they all have bad energy. Ive seen Wilder, Fury and Joshua across multiple fights look exhausted on their feet.

    What an absolute legend. He actually beat him properly as well, rather than just Hasim Rahman him and get lucky. Amazing.

    That makes it even better. Often boxings elite fighters. When they lose, are controversial. This was a complete beating. Clear victory with no complaints.

    That said, he wasn't as big a bum as the build-up suggested was he? An underdog yes, but he seems to have a reasonable pedigree.

    Yeah, it seems like anybody who actually knew what they were talking about knew Ruiz could do some damage.

    Watched it an hour a go and Joshua didn't seem to have much of a game plan. The knock down in 3 seemed to just stop him throwing anything significant. 6 and 7 were embarrassing from a champion point of view.

    Hopefully we can see the division unified now.

    Not really sure about Joshua's 'minor setback' comments. It's a bit more than that lad.

    Rematch is surely made for a Las Vegas headline event now, or have a trilogy with fights in London and, if Joshua wins in London, a decider in Mexico City.

    I think the thing I saw said the rematch clause stipulates it'll be a UK fight.

    The rematch clause Joshua never even asked about because he was so confident.

    Yeah, I assumed it would be in the UK, I was just thinking, if you want to make your name in America, then this is the chance to do it (or, do it better maybe).

    Given he's, as you say, trying to pretend like this result isn't a big deal he's presumably hoping to obliterate Ruiz on home turf so he can say that he's BACK and then have another go at the States.

    It would be ballsier to do the rematch in Murica though.

    Its a massaive setback. A minor setuback would be if he got sparked with one-punch and it was lights out and he was winning. He was throughly beaten during the course of the whole fight. That hurts way more than a KO in a competative fight. Its an embarassment.

    I like how people are fixating on Ruiz's weight. George Foreman clubbed his way to titles in that shape.

    That was still going on in 1994? He lost the title in 1996.

    The upper body swerves by Fury just before he knocked him down genuinely had me lolling.

    Just caught up on the Fury fight in full, what an absolute legend.

    That's how you do a US debut.

    He's going to lol everyone else in the division out of town.

    Prince Naseem was one of the best boxers to watch, such a nutter. The fact that he's the size of a small planet now makes it even better somehow.

    Its the politics of boxing. If your a champion at a lower weight, when you move up. You usually dive straight into the top 10. No idea about becoming mandatory though. Thats the ultimate line skip.

    Just been watching Hughie Fury vs Samuel Peter. What an absolute fucking shambles. Peter was down right cheating, repeated punches to the back of the head, multiple deliberate low blows, and a fake injury to end it. Even the ref ended up with a nose bleed. Dirty cunt.

    Hughie isn't deserving of his surname, mind. Absolutely average.

    The whole of the build up has been about Khan looking for "One more big pay day". I mean, this was meant to be some bullshit MMA fight, then changed at the last minute to a boxing match against a bloke 3 weights below. Mate. Mate? Atleast change to another MMA fighter if you're going to jump the shark.

    They also paid Vince hundreds of millions for the same service but he's been doing it for decades.
