Ruiz got very lucky?

Ruiz survived an early knock down, took all AJ’s best shots, then knocked AJ down 4 times and got a devastating KO win. He used speed and power to defeat a guy that many think is the current greatest heavyweight.

I don’t see the luck.

The rubber match should happen because you should give the former champion a chance to regain the lost title. It’s the gentlemanly thing to do.


Yeh. After all... Ruiz was blindsided by the rematch and was totally caught off guard regarding his condition. Nor did he have any boxing history to fall back on, since there's never been a long shot heavyweight challenger win the heavyweight championship, only to come back in his next fight fat as shit and have it all crumble to the ground. Someone should've warned him that this could happen to him.
