Fans were a little too eager to have live boxing back at the Andy Ruiz Jr. vs. Chris Arreola card.
There was, ironically, very little dignity as a brawl broke out at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California on Saturday night. Appropriately, a shirtless dude got dropped in the melee.

That was only the beginning. Later in the Ruiz vs. Arreola card, a massive pull-apart brawl breaks out and it is total pandemonium.

Despite getting dropped early, Ruiz went on to win a unanimous decision (118-109, 118-109, 117-110) vs. Areola in the headlining slot of the pay-per-view card.
