    I'm shocked he couldn't make his height count.I did point out AJs struggles against Takam after training for Pulev.
    Can you believe Donkey is now saying it's obvious who was running from who?greedy b***** the lot of em for thinking they could string this out without one losing.

    To be honest I dont think he underestimated him, maybe slightly, Joshua is a proffessional and seems like a very level headed dude, I think it had more to do with Ruiz as a fighter, he also would of been very hard to prepare for with 4-5 weeks notice, how many sparring partners could emulate his style?

    I saw this coming and won a **** load of money, how some people rode Ruiz completely off is beyond me, ruiz had everything going for him in preparation for this fight. Andy Was is his best condition due to Back to back camps against a 6.6 opponent, was undefeated (yes he did beat Parker) , lots more experience in the pros and amatures, faster than Joshua, Better chin than josh, solid power, good skills, Mexican heart (look at round 3 lol what a beast) in his prime etc and on the management side of things his trainer already had intimate knowledge of Joshua due to already having fought Joshua with Dominic breazeale, that kind of preparation is almost unheard of, they had all the aces coming into this fight.

    Josh has also shown some struggles when his speed advantage is negated with the smaller fighters, Parker povetkin etc I don't know if it is a good idea to pursue the rematch, I think Ruiz beats him again and has his number, Ruiz will be more confident and in better condition the second time round, josh may never be the same if he loses again to Ruiz. Maybe wait till fury or deontay fight Ruiz and hope one of them beats him and then fight the winner to get the titles back. The heavy weight division has become interesting again, ps I hope those who gave Ruiz no chance have learned their lesson, lesson being that Andy Ruiz jr is ****ing good fighter.

    I've literally been partying since 4 am yesterday. I feel like I'm in that episode of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (original BBC series) when Narnia starts thawing out and spring emerges.

    This teh end of this god awful cult! The King is dead, long live the King!

    I mean when you go against someone every time, you'll be right eventually. Wilder eventually is getting KO'd. But that won't make me Nostradamus.

    The thing is, I can, for example, go against Wilder every time and analyze how his opponent will beat him based on his opponent's strengths and Wilder's weaknesses. I can make a good analysis every time but Wilder always wins because the guy just wasn't good enough to impose his style on Wilder. When I finally get it right, I can point to my analysis and look a genius.

    And who the **** is defending Wilder I'm certainly not. I've said for years he's going to eventually get exposed as well.... but here's the catch, you're in a chorus of millions, I was in a 5 man A Capella group. I didn't go against him every time. Only when it made sense. And all the fanboys failed to realize... every wrong prediction I made,was a slow chipping away at exposure of every flaw I've ever said AJ had. Wlad showed his chin and gas tank were weak, Parker exposed that his skillset was one note and rudimentary, and shaded several and Povetkin picked up where Parker left off, and definitively won a few rounds. But AJ lucked out, because Sasha and Wlad were old as ****, and Parker has gotten to where he fights scared. But all three had a ton of success against him. But his fanboys laughed with glee, and blinded themselves to reality, that time after time, their guy looked lackluster, but KO's cause instantaneous amnesia. Well not for me they don't.

    I picked Wilder as an example. As I don't think he's very good. I wouldn't be surprised if he got KO'd in any of his fights but also don't have a lot of faith in his opponents to do the job. It was just an example.
