    Round 11
    I'm not sure I've ever seen a 42 hit Street Fighter II super combo launched in real life before.

    Sad to see boxing go from HBO, but HBO hasn't been doing boxing any favors for the last decade.  The money that HBO budgets now a day for Boxing After Dark can now be allotted to cover the costs for three seconds of a dragon flying across the screen in Game of Thrones final season.

    Was trying to find this thread last night. Dazn was a solid deal this past month. Got the canelo and this fight for $20. GGG next weekend but my payment hits before then so probably going to cancel then if I feel like watching will re-up then.

    But yeah. Holy fuck that was bad.

    It wasn't "the curse" that beat Joshua, it was his lack of enthusiasm and respect for Ruiz.

    Joshua was already counting his money for his possible next fight against Wilder.

    Good for Ruiz!!!

    Did end up cancelling DAZN this morning.  With only the GGG fight in the near future, don't think I am going to pick it back up just for that.  It is a good deal when there is a month with more than 1 fight.

    It was an awesome win, especially after getting knocked down.  The main thing that sucks is that the Wilder fight is even more of a pipe dream at this point.

    Do you still have to buy the PPV if you have ESPN+ ?  Getting it for $5 and then canceling seems too good to be true.  Having to subscribe to a bullshit app and then buy the $80 PPV seems more in line with the greed of boxing.

    Roy Jones vs Tyson! I remember Jones always wanted to fight Tyson before he retired. Crazy 17 years later we are getting the fight!
