Andy Ruiz Jr. took the world by surprise on Saturday night when he dethroned heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua (22-0 with 21 knockouts). You could say that nobody saw it coming. Check out the highlight footage from the fight here.

You don't even have to follow boxing and the stars in it to be amazed by Ruiz Jr.'s performance. That being said, Stephen A. Smith was all kinds of outraged, and went on a tear on Twitter. Ruiz Jr. had some words for him at a certain point, and can you really blame him?
