    this was ruslan's most obvious loss IMO
    Agreed. No doubt about this loss, though it could be scored close, it's of the close but clear variety.

    Can't question his willingness to go in tough but I wish his heart were more into throwing more punches than absorbing them. Best chin in boxing. Lol at anyone still saying ****** Baby Jr has a good chin after getting stopped by Fonfara tonight.

      Ruslan has been good for boxing. The fights with Alvarado and Bradley were two of the best of 2013, and he provided plenty of great entertainment on FNF prior to those fights. It's good he's being smart and already thinking retirement. A warrior like that should go out when he still has fight in him, not when he's a shell of himself.

        He looked like Rocky from the movie head snapping from every punch catching each one of them only difference is he throws fewer. I get frustrated when he just comes in not throwing punches giving his head out like a punching bag.
