I know John Ruiz was underrated and didn't get the respect he deserved.... But seeing Holyfield going life and death with John fukking Ruiz was heartbreaking

i almost talked myself outta the p*ssy badmouthing john ruiz in front of a chick i was talking to years ago..not knowing he was a friend of the family :dead:

but fukk john ruiz :hhh:...he lost his belts to 2 former middleweight champions

i hated the holyfield-ruiz trilogy..it hurt my heart watching that shyt

Breh it's amazing Holyfield still has his mental capabilities in order in the present day.... from all the unnecessary fights he took after he faced Lennox Lewis post 1999

I’m not sure I got the stomach to watch this :mjcry:

I feel that but I think it's worth it. It's a reminder of what these fighters go through and how dark the sport really is.

Also had no idea about Nigel benn "collapsing" after the fight. Apparently in the UK they have a rule where if you don't make it to the locker room after the fight you don't have to take a post fight drug test. And she said Nigel's agent told her point blank that he was on steroids that night. Prolly out of guilt. Then fast forward 30 years later his son tests positive for ped's. Whole family full of scumbags. Nigel knew he couldn't beat Gerald in a fair fight.

Benn though took plenty of damage from G man...he was a mess after that fight....he didnt shake off all that punishment
