It’s kinda crazy to sit back listening to Ruiz talk about his historical place and then realize he hasn’t won a fight in literally 4 years to the night of this one, give a day or so. and has only fought once where he looked very ordinary vs Big Pharma Jarrell Miller. Can only hope he has his nose to the grindstone is this is the start of a final **active** push. But if he comes in sloppish and looking past Knyba I think he could have some serious problems. Looking forward to Alan Chaves v Garcia on the undercard. ---

Andy Ruiz has signed with Eddie Hearn probably on a promise to face AJ in the future should he win. It will be interesting what he has left. ---

I don’t have DAZN so I miss a lot of fights. So I’m happy to have stumbled on this fight. 😄 Just happened to be channel surfing… and lo and behold. Don’t matter if it’s not Ali-Frazier. 😆 Just happy to be able to watch fights live. ---

Oh young Moses what are ya doing? Headbutt AND a low blow on an over matched opponent? ---

Contreras continuing pretty quick all things considered. That was a nasty butt and LB not exactly a mistake imo. Southpaw Moses very sharp. He doesn’t need to do all that. ---

Zaquin Moses up 3-0 over Contreas into the 4th. No idea why Moses keeps his mouth open that much, he’s definitely not winded. ---

5-0 Moses. Not missing with the left jab and picking spots to mix it up. Ends ropund with Contreas pinned to ropes 3 times in a row as Moses lets his hands go. ---

Corner of Contreas waves the fight off between rounds on the stool after 5th. ---

Moses looked very sharp. Clearly dominated the whole fight. Contreras was overmatched from the start. So far it seems Moses has the goods for such a young fighter. Quick and powerful southpaw, which always gives opponents fits. He’s also got the quick feet, so he’s always in position. Have a feeling we’re gonna hear a lot more about this kid. ---

THAT was awesome the interaction and respect at end. If only Bud was ohhhhh still active. Because _that_ is how you build brand and a super fight. Used to happen all the time back in the day. Not those silly slap fights on X. ---

Eridson Garcia glad to find a home after zuffa dumped him. Good guy. But he’s being brought in hard here. Big time. Chaves ready to do bad things tonight, in the best way 😬 ---

Chaves built like a stack of lumber, noticeable size difference but solid 1st for Garcia. ---
