    According to the information he gave in Spanish, Joshua asked for a bigger ring than in the first fight that was 16 feet in the second one, it is 22 feet or 26 feet.

    AJ also requested that Ruiz had sticky tape attacked to the bottom of his boots. Although Ruiz probably didn’t need slowing down.

    Wouldn't that hinder Joshua more? It was Josh who was moving more.

    According to Adam Smith they both wanted a 22ft ring. I believe my pal Adam.

    Ruiz wanted a phone booth not a football field.....but Hearns was calling the shots......LOL, Ruiz wanted a 22 foot ring, yeah, a guy stuck in cement even in shape wants a bigger ring......

    Foam would benefit a slow plodder like Ruiz.

    I heard the blob Ruiz wanted 4 fridges put in each corner of the ring, so he could have a bite to eat during the fight.

    That's what Adam Smith said. No need to be rude. Fool.

    It goes without saying that Hearn would see to it that everything would benefit Joshua's chances to win.

    It works the other way around as well. When the A-side cash cow is a compact shorter sized swarmer, the promoter works to see to it the ring size is the smallest possible.

    The fighter on the short end of the stick in these situations however has to have people in his camp to make certain the rules aren't being broken.
    For example, Hearn could very well have instructed the ring size to go beyond the size allowed in hopes the other camp wouldn't pay notice.

    I'm surprised team ruiz didn't make a fuss about the ring size, especially as they knew fat boy had bulked up and got lazy.
