Wilder and Fury the top two with the main contenders being Usyk, Dubois, Joyce and Bakole coming through soon. Anthony Fury-Klitschko going to find it hard to avoid that lot
I’ve just said in another thread. All 3 of these “top” heavy’s are all definitely beatable. Wilder is terrible at boxing, would like someone to proper chin check him too. Fury doesn’t have the best of chins (not heart, chin, he goes down when hit) and can lose concentration and we’ve seen Joshua lose already.
Maybe so, but when you are conning the world who are expecting a "Fight" and you serve up that type of diatrade it is impossible to believe that you can actually come through a fight, or know how to fight...
Are you back now, then? I hope so, you whinging scouse b******d !! Hope you enjoyed this evening bud.
Let's all give Rob Mcracken a bit of appreciation. I've said before I think he's the perfect coach for Joshua, just like he was for Froch. If Joshua didn't have him in his corner, I'm not sure he'd be the fighter he is.
I know what you mean Channy, but if they'd kept things same then it would probably have been the same outcome. Ruiz is a dangerous man and team Joshua made a plan and AJ stuck to it.
Running away for 12 rounds from a little fatty - it is not good for the image of boxthing mate. Yet people are impressed - fook me I thought it was dog poo and it takes great fights to impress me such as Inoue v Donaire, Taylor v Prograis and Wilder v Fury.
AJ didn't run. It's up to Ruiz to cut off the ring and not give AJ a way out. The idea AJ should make Ruiz job easier is ridiculous. There were two fighters in the ring and Ruiz had to do more.
Wilder vs Fury? Fury spent all that fight running away and landing much less than AJ did tonight and clinching a lot more.
It wound me up, along with the referee who was keen to break up the action and take ages dealing with little issues. I really wanted to see a proper fight, instead I was treated to a Billy Joe Saunders v Lemieux esque performance. That said, if you told me he was going to do that before the fight I wouldn’t have believed he was capable of doing it...that he’d gas, that Ruiz would eventually close him down. So he proved me wrong tonight. Ruiz is the stronger, more dangerous fighter on the inside, he showed that tonight...so Joshua negated it brilliantly. I reckon Joshua has spent the last 6 months training on a traveller site. Fair play.
He was up against a lethal puncher and the fight had people on the edge of their seats for 12 rounds as we had no idea who was winning while waiting on Wilder landing the huge punch - tonight was awful from start to finish.
