    It is micro movements before impact from punch. Slow down video and watch.
    There is some reason why he never had been finished in pros.

    Ofc he is defeatable, both boxers that had defeated him outboxed him while keeping enough distance vs him.
    Right prescription how to defeat Ruiz.

    If Usyk cleans up the hw division, he could be in the running for GOAT. I can't see it happening though, I think Fury will school him.

    But you can't discount AJ's mistake in how he approached this fight though. If he'd fought in the first fight like he did in the 2nd, he'd have won the first fight.

    AJ was only vulnerable to Ruiz when he went after him, which he didn't need to. I'm not doubting Ruiz is going, you seem to be quite anal about defending Ruiz.

    All I'm saying is that AJ had a bad night, performed bad, and he shouldn't be judged off it. He IS better than Ruiz, and I'm confident AJ would beat Ruiz infinite amount of times from now on if he takes the right approach.

    What will be funnier is if he looks average at heavyweight

    No, had very good night and performed well.

    If instead of A.J it was some ukrainian, here had been typed multiple times how bummy he is etc, 1 fight proves it etc.
    Like fights A.J vs out of prime Povetkin and Klitschko. This does not prove that he was able to beat them in their prime.
    These are not marquee wins.

    This yes, outbox Ruiz while keeping distance and use reach advantage and better footwork to manage do it.
    Not attempt to go for KO but outbox him.
    For amateur superstar in A.J size and shape this was doable task. Good gameplan.

    I do not think that Ruiz needs " defense " in forums.
    Just it is funny how one fighter might be easily excused despite had been finished, another blamed because he lost fight on points.
    It is funny and applies in forums mainly on fighers that are not from U.S or U.K.

    I sense Usyk will underwhelm against Chisora who is a very different animal to his competition at cruiser. Looking at Chisoras training camp I’m actually starting to sniff the upset here.

    Nah he’s too old. Light punching movers at HW usually hit the wall in their early 30s. He might pick up a belt if he’s moved very quickly.

    You mean Holy who had 5 traps on 1 trap and 3 neck on 2 necks? Head full of vibranium?

    His biggest threat is the duck knuckles avoiding unification without a ridiculous payday.

    His best chance would be a shot at the unified champ as I can see Fury and Joshua ducking him until they fight.

    An old, fat, wartorn plodder? Yes, he certainly is a very different animal to the likes of Briedis, Gassiev etc.
