WAR Ruiz !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, I think the weight is being blown way out proportion.I believe AJ is mentally weak , if he faces any adversity in this fight he will fold like an accordion.

283 For Ruiz? That's nuts, If I am AJ, Im keeping my distance for the first 6 rounds, well I'd do that regardless, but especially with him packing on even more weight.

What's a fight by fight thread

And where's the poll at fam

[Bing_]

I got 4/1 on AJ winning on points. Think that's a great bet. Ruiz is hard as nails but limited. AJ looks focused and is the better all round fighter imo.

So what time is this on? Says 2:30 Eastern time but is that when the undercards start?
Me and my wife usually go to the movies on Saturday afternoons and want to know when I should try and be home.
Don’t really care for the undercards as I can catch them later if they are good.
What time should the ring walls happen?

I read the undercards start at noon and the main event at 3:45 eastern time. Is that correct?

[True That]

Lots of intangibles and questions with this fight. I'm 50/50 on this fight. Not sure what's going to happen. May the best man win.
