    @kiwiinmelb Sounds like a pretty incredible woman. Really liked his talk on forgiveness too.

    By all reports he is a Really good fella , no one has a bad word to say about him, in a sport where it isn’t always that way

      Quite a few vids for Evander and Bowe together which are funny- although does take some concentration to understand them especially Bowe. They are great mates though which is cool to see and they have some good banter

        Errol Spence is very lucky , no broken bones and a few facial lacerations ,

        maybe one of the few occasions wearing no seat belt saved someone, thrown clear of the car , ( somehow safely by the sound of things ) while it kept rolling,

        Expected to make a full recovery

            @Godder From a boxing point of view, that is a concern, maybe if anyone can not be distracted from that , it is him , but I think it makes more sense to get involved in that tomfoolery when you are retired

                Agreed, but I guess if he's paid enough, he probably doesn't care.

                        According to wikipedia he never got back to them and they went with Foreman . Hogan has a grill out now too, doesn't seem to be doing too well.

                            Wow wee. Had forgotten this fight was even on and little (or even no) coverage on the news here.

                            Ortiz looked well in control there and then bam...goooone

                              I watched this at the pub and was with mates on a pub crawl so didn't see as much as I would have liked.

                              What I did see was a superior boxer once again get sloppy and knocked out by a sloppy boxer that saw an opening and took it. Hardest hitter on the planet.

                                  Wilder is always behind on the cards , never seen a fighter so content to sit there the way he does, then wait for the opportunity to throw his money punch, that straight right ,

                                  The funny thing was , he threw it just the once , thats all it took

                                      Same for me. Think AJ is gonna be way more prepared re what to expect and bring his A game. Ruiz is unique tho so still could cause AJ problems

                                        AJ is done I reckon, mentally shot, rumour is he had a panic attack before the first Ruiz fight. He'll lose this then retire. He doesn't even really like boxing, he was manufactured into the sport, he'll take the $$$ and run.

                                          The other rumour is that he was KO'd in training and wasn't fully recovered when he fought Ruiz. Him and Eddy denied it but would explain why he might have had a panic attack prior and his dad was pissed.
