By whom?
I’d think it unlikely they were doing full contact sparring in the last couple of weeks. The pros I followed would stop two weeks out, mainly to prevent cuts.

I read this guy: http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/512687
AJ turned up at the presser with a black eye and said it was down to 'a physio'.
He's now said that this didn't happen though.

He looked very dazed before the first bell and, after the fight, his dad had to be pulled away from Eddie Hearn.
I wonder if there is any truth in the rumours that he was dropped heavily in sparring the week before.
Massive respect to Ruiz though; he fought amazingly well.
