Smh. It wasn't a "fluke". Joshua was struggling with the jab to the body and when he landed a good shot, Ruiz didn't move and stood still throwing back. Ruiz knocked him down four or five times over like 3 rounds, nit a "fluke".

I'm not sure I'd pick Ruiz again but don't act like it was some hail mary shot.



For the others, I have the same predictions as Nick, although Jan has a damn good shot with Luke.

Artem beating Paulie is one of my favourite things in combat sports.

DC Vs Stipe 2 is meh. Don't like immediate rematches. I thought Stipe the first time but I reckon the loss will have effected him.
