Any interest in this?

Be interesting to see if the winner of Taylor/Prograis wants to clear up all the belts. Got the sense from Prograis that if he won he'd be on to 147 fights against the big guns.

Zab Judah fighting for his life in hospital apparently. Didn't even realise he was still fighting.
Kim and Iole putting a slightly nore positive spin on it on Twitter it seems.

Glad to hear the mythical "focused Judah" turned up for that particular fight.... He better rap it now though although surely he would not get a licence now....

On the last knock down, from joshua hitting the deck to the ref stopping it is roughly 25secs!

The count is delayed by about 5 seconds at the start to send ruiz away when he's already far enough away and heading back to his corner. 

Eddie Hearn may as well just referee the rematch himself.

Spencer Oliver and Jake Wood very much in the "AJ wasn't right" camp, saying they'd spoken to someone in AJ's camp who said there had been an incident a couple of days before the fight etc (with the insinuation being a heavy KO and him already being a bit concussed and that if it had been a fight against Wilder or Fury it would have been cancelled but as it was "just" Ruiz they went for it). I just can't see beyond the fact he was well enough to have Ruiz dropped and hurt but then decided to telegraph a left hook against a much quicker puncher and got found out. Why when you have such a reach advantage wouldn't you just use that instead of throwing his hooks and uppercuts?

Similar to Fury vs Wilder.

The other thing that makes me think that's bullshit is, why would he still be sparring a couple of days before the fight?

I'm with you, he thought he had Ruiz badly hurt, got sloppy going for the finish, got badly punished and never fully recovered.

Nope. Fury hit the deck at 2 minutes 21 seconds, was on his feet a 2 minutes 12 seconds.

Wrong again, H_B.

Don’t recall if it was Jake & Spencer or talksport podcast pointing out that if there was nothing wrong, how does he win the rematch then?
Presumably sticking behind the jab and fighting long but he’s not much history of that tbh
