Shock outcome at Madison Garden as Anthony Joshua loses to stand in fighter Andy Ruiz
It was meant to be an easy fight for AJ, a fight to show the Americans including Detonay Wilder and Tyson Fury what he could do in the ring. That was until the 3rd round knock out.
It was a round that Joshua had Ruiz on the canvas himself but then afterwards he was rocked by a punch that put himself on the floor.
He took a count and then carried on before another knock down and AJ's chin and legs were wobbling from that point on.
How many fights is that now that I have stayed up all night to watch only to be disapointed by no true KO. The other week Amir Khan let himself down by giving up after a low blow and now we have Anthony Joshua losing his 4 belts to someone who probably never expected to ever have one of them round his waist in his life time.
I want to see UK fighters show some true grit, I want to see Nigel Benn back in the ring, I want to see Lennox Lewis fighting Tyson, I want to see Joe Calzaghe go over to Vegas and stay undefeated not get floored and lose in his last events like Ricky Hatton. Come on UK we can do better!
Watch the full fight highlights of Anthony Joshua being beaten by Andy Ruiz here.
Let me know what you thought of the fight in the comments section, was Joshua having a bad day or was he taking things lightly as he didn't expect to lose at all?
The Fight Between Amir Khan versus Terence Crawford
The fight between Amir Khan and Terence Crawford was a bit of a letdown as it ended with Khan throwing in the towel after a very heavy low blow to Khans lower regions.
Some people are saying he took the easy option to get out of the fight as he knew he was going to lose to Crawford who was outboxing him easily in New York'sMadison Square Gardens arena.
Others would disagree as it was a bit of a low way to win a fight with an illegal punch. Khan could have taken the 5 minutes allowed before deciding to carry on or not but he immediately indicated to his team that he couldn't and Crawford won by default.
I bet the fans who paid to watch the fight in New York or on Pay Per View felt pretty let down to see the headline fight end with such an ending.
Amir Khan v Terence Crawford - Full Fight
Let me know what you think about the way it ended.
Did Amir Khan throw in the towel due to real pain which is perfectly possible, or should he have waited the 5 minutes allowed before deciding?
Surely Crawford would have had a point deducted for that whack to Khans lower region and Khan could have carried on and at least fought to the end.
Hopefully we will get to see a knockdown in this fight, as the last 2 UK fights I have commented on wishing to see a KO finish just never materialised. Sure I made some money from betting on these fights ending on a decision finish but I'd have rather lost those bets and seen great explosive endings than winning on Eubank at 3/1 to win by decision.
This time I will be betting a smaller stake as I am secretly hoping AJ can put JM's ass on the canvass pretty soon but it's always wise to go with your gut. Also if AJ doesn't KO Big Babby, I think the price for a Ref's decision is going to be slightly more than the 3/1 price I got from the Eubank JNR v DeGale fight.
A smaller stake with bigger odds will even it out, and with a better than nothing chance of a TKO or KO finish to this fight I won't be losing too much if AJ gets Miller to a 10 count. Or if by some miracle Jarrel manages to eat AJ's punches and go the full distance then the bet will pay me back for another uneventful ending to British boxers match.
Either way I will be happy, a points decision or an AJ KO/TKO and if they fight like the UK Boxing warriors I have been waiting for over the last six months then I will happily walk away with my money in the bookies pocket if another poor finish ends the night,
Also Conor is Irish, not a real Boxer, and didn't actually want to finish by a TKO anyway preferring to go down for the full count. Added to that he could have at any moment ended the fight in style with a backward spinning kick to throw Mayweather halfway across the front seats. That would have bested any boxing ending I have seen so far for sure and probably earned Conor a standing ovation.
So this time I demand a KO from AJ or Miller,the most likely outcome being a KO or TKO giving AJ the win in the end as I can't see Miller giving AJ any problems in this upcoming headliner.
He can set you up to watch all the PPV boxing and football games you would want to see.
So to prepare us for this battle ahead we have two videos of the best of each fighter in action.
Here are Joshua's 22 wins by deadly force.
Watch below for ex kick boxer, Jarrel Millers best hits.
Now compare and contrast, who do you think will win when they meet in Madison Square Garden on Saturday June the 1st?
As always please leave your comments in the boxes below and let me know ASAP when videos are removed by YouTube who have some stupid way of enabling people to embed videos then shutting them off for people who do. The modern Internet is here, and it's not as good as it used to be that's for sure, well apart from watching PPV Boxing For Free that is!
The retirement of Michael Bisping from UFC will be a major shame, especially to UK MMA stars, and I have already spotted him in a film "Den of Thieves" at the end in a coffee shop.
Maybe a career in acting awaits Michael?
Anyway the fight with GSP who was retired at the time was brutal.
Whilst Bisping was still champion GSP decided to come out of retirement to fight him.
Dana White called it "one of UFC's biggest paydays" and it showed that the time away from the ring had done George’s St Pierre some good with his fighting skills but he still left the ring with a face that you would assume a loser would have not a come back fighter taking on the current champion.
The fights with GSP always seem to leave his face looking like a smashed in doll but he won the fight with TKO after taking Bisping to the floor and getting him in a choke hold.
Bisping's Bull Dog spirit would not let him tap out and he was prepared to go unconscious until the referee stepped in and stopped the fight.
You can watch the highlights of the fight between Michael Bisping and George’s St Pierre right here in case the later full fight video gets removed again by YouTube - why they allow them to be embedded if they don't want people to embed them I have no idea.
Just turn off the ability to copy and paste the embed code - simple - but no they let people use their OWN tool to copy the video to put on other sites and then attack those sites for showing said video. It's totally beyond me why they do this but anyway here are the fight highlights.
I did have the full fight but then YouCensor took it down.

Well I am glad I put David Haye v Tony Bellew in a TKO/KO before 12th round as the price for a win was pathetic plus I was going to chose David Haye to win!
They threw in the towel in the 11th round saying he could no longer continue. So I got the first leg right and whoever wins in the Joshua fight as long as it doesn't go the full length I get some money.
Anthony Joshua was the other double and he is due to fight Wladimir Klitschko soon. I put them both in won't go the distance bets as there is no telling who will really win only that they are all good fighters and someone will get a punch on the chin during the fight sometime.
This is a post fight interview with Tony Bellew
David Haye basically got battered from round one and how he held on to round 11 I don't know.
The number of missed punches was in the thousands I think and at the end Hayes hands were at his hips and he looked no different from a mental patient as he fell through the ropes for the 2nd time that round just before the towel was thrown in.
I give it to him though he's got some courage and even with his calf injury he was still willing to stand and fight. Even if that meant him just swaying about in the ring trying to duck and weave the bombs thrown at him by Bellew.
Even as he was getting back through the ropes the 2nd time to fight and the towel had been thrown in he was still up for a fight.
The problem with David is his arms are too short so he can't just stand and jab his opponent away and Klitschko showed that to great effect when they fought earlier. David Haymaker Haye I call him as he has to throw them bombs to get his hands near an opponent so much further away.
In the 11th round he was no different from a patient on a mental ward. Head dozing downwards, both arms at his waist but still Bellew didn't finish him off as he could and should have done. Haye was put through the ropes twice in the 11th round and on the 2nd occasion as he was trying to get back through them his team through the towel in.
David has to find spots were he can get in and jab and get away without being blown away. He needs to find gaps in the other fighters tiredness and then blow him away with a volley of accurate shots.
The thing is that didn't happen and Bellew was lucky they threw in the towel as he seemingly wasn't going to finish it off.
The full fight was taken down by YouTube / Sky etc, you have to be quick if you don't have the sports on your TV and want to watch from YouTube videos. We had 4 full fights up here the day after and now they are all gone - their channels banned too probably.
