Apparently BJS was awful past night.

Unbelievable that people still think the likes of Canelo etc don’t want no part of him. Eubank Jnr would beat him if they rematches imo

Haven’t seen the fight so can’t judge.

I think BJS is very talented but sometimes it comes across like his mindset isn’t focused.

At his best he would give Canelo a good match but would likely get edged.

Definitely good enough to beat Eubank.

I think he needs a certain style to look good against. Come forward face first, flat footed types, and he’ll look great.

Canelo would beat him easily, even the very best Saunders. He’s talented but nowhere near as good as he thinks he is. Sneaking past Andy Lee...

Must admit I am pleasantly surprised the Smith/Ryder fight in a couple weeks is not on Box Office, was fully expecting it to be a PPV.

No idea, felt the result could have gone either way, no idea how all three judges had such wide wins for Smith.

After Wilder's latest big punch KO - I see no hope for any current HW against that sort of one-punch power. He was given a boxing lesson by Ortiz up to the 7th and bang in a flash it was all over. If AJ wins his rematch with Ruiz, I'd stay away from Wilder tbh. most devastating single punch in boxing right now!

Yes, fight ending power in that right hand. He can do nothing for the entire fight and turn it with one shot. Again.

Ruiz might have Wilder’s number though. If he can avoid the straight right hand or even take the shot, he’d probably beat him. Same with Fury. Joshua? He could take Wilder out in a straight shootout.

The beauty of the current division isn’t the quality, it’s that each top fighter is flawed and beatable.

Having that equaliser is massive for Wilder. Although he was losing he was patient and not simply windmilling. Ortiz started following him a bit too much and bam, game over. Ortiz boxed well but it wasn’t anywhere close to the masterclass Sky were making out. The punch output was very low and punches landed, laughably low too. Ortiz was coming up short with a lot of his work.

Interesting, thought there were photos of Ruiz a few months ago of him slimming a lot.

I think it was to throw Joshua's plans off, make him prepare for a lighter Ruiz but come fight night not only has he put back on the Wright but added more.
