Andy Ruiz vs. Anthony Joshua was the biggest boxing upset I've ever seen

Biggest upset that I've ever seen, you're probably right that the Buster Douglas upset was a bigger one. But in today's multimedia world... it's just hard to fathom a bigger one.

Opinion from a professional boxing analyst.

Klay Thompson's hamstring injury is a huge concern for the Warriors

Klay Thompson going out with the hamstring, which, by the way, that wasn't talked about after, but that's a huge, huge injury because he went out and he looked really pissed. Hamstrings are weird, man.

Klay's hamstring kept him out of Game 3 (which the Warriors lost), proving it was a significant factor in the series.

The third quarter Warriors are the most fun team in the NBA to watch

The third quarter Warriors are the most fun team in the NBA to watch. They're insane. I absolutely love them.

Subjective opinion on entertainment value.

Klay Thompson is actually the most important piece of the Warriors

I'm talking myself into the take that Klay Thompson is actually the most important piece of that Warriors team. Clay will come in and he'll shoot like seven for 10.

While subjective, the Warriors struggled significantly without Klay in Game 3 and later in the 2019-2021 seasons.

Anthony Joshua fights like a 5'10" man despite being 6'6"

Anthony Joshua just couldn't keep Andy Ruiz from charging in at him... Joshua is 6'6", but he fights like he's 5'10". Like he doesn't use that height to his advantage.

This was a widely shared tactical criticism of Joshua after the Ruiz loss.

If Anthony Joshua loses the rematch to Andy Ruiz Jr., his career is unrecoverable

If Anthony Joshua loses the second time to Andy Ruiz, I don't know how it's recoverable... I don't believe that it would be a stunner if Andy Ruiz is able to do it and repeat what he saw Saturday.

Anthony Joshua won the rematch against Andy Ruiz Jr. via unanimous decision on December 7, 2019, and went on to continue fighting at the championship level. His career was very much recoverable.
