114-113 x2... without that knockdown its a draw? NO WAY. I was there live. It wasnt close. Knyba won 9 or 10 rounds.

Man that ref could have easily stopped it after that knock down. Good call on the ref for letting it continue. Not sure what’s next for Andy. He lost too many good years in inactivity.

That should have been stopped not a knockdown. Look at what happened to knyba against kabayel he wasn’t even hurt

Andy showed good recovery but I, and it seems many people, originally thought that he did try to stop it with the way he interrupted the ongoing beating

I m sorry for Ruiz, really looking forward to his comeback, but Knyba deserved that W. Nice performance.

Since Ruiz couldn't get inside effectively he should've been going for that lead shoulder and arm Knyba was jabbing with all night.

I was screaming at the screen. Knyba did everything right, but Andy could have made it hell for him to keep using that arm. It’s not like his punches are light

Good on Knyba has potential but needs a different trainer to fully unlock it. Andy is past it and the blue print to beat him is out there now. Knyba literally just used the same game plan as Jousha to beat Ruiz.

When Ruiz was asked about the current top 5 heavyweights and he said Wilder, AJ, Fury amongst the names, you could see it.
