I know no one cares about boxing...

I watched this.

It sucked.

Ruiz is a dreadful bore.

I don't understand how he won the fight, Golota is no better but I never want to see Ruiz fight, ever again. How this talentless hack, ever got a title again after getting embarassed by Jones only further explains why Boxing has fallen as far as it has.

Also how much of a hold King has over the sanctioning bodies. Plus all that bullshit of unification bouts is pointless to me to be honest. The 3 belts even when combined and one man is crowned like Lennox Lewis was when he beat Holyfield, never lasts. Because eventually somehow the belts get stripped from their rightful owner. Either they come up with some technicality like "super champion" or they make them fight mandatory fights which they refuse cause its either embarassing, or they wanna fight someone better and they get stripped.

Perfect example is the upcoming fight between Antonio Tarver and Glen Johnson. These are the two men who knocked out Roy Jones this year, Tarver earlier this year and Johnson last month.

Both men had a belt, they could have unified the belts and it is also the best possible fight at light heavyweight. YET the two sanctioning bodies that each man represents in their infinite glory said that both men had to fight mandatory challangers which are not only not the best fighters, or the fight the fans want to see. It's not the best fight, so ofcourse both men were stripped of their titles and now this fight is for no title, that makes sense right?

Thats the equivalent of have the red sox play st louis for the world series but MLB says that st louis has to play tampa bay or they can play the sox but the winner doesnt get the series trophy.

It's so disgusting, confusing, corrupt, and ridiculous that it's amazing it's any wonder why boxings viewership has been so shaky over the years. Especially since the heavyweight division has been so devoid of talent for years.
