    to be fair, ruiz has better movemets and speed than what I expected from a fat guy. But anyway, with 20 cm reach advantage, there's no possible excuse for what we have witnessed today.

    Wlad has to feel awful right now. He had Joshua beat but let him off the hook.

    Not gonna lie, I thought Joshua would blast him.

    I also thought Ruiz's only chance would be to be like Canelo vs Jacobs; come forward and counter. And boy did he do that well!

    Well done Andy. Genuinely happy for the guy.

    Ruiz shouldn't give him a rematch, he wouldn't do the same if the shoe was on the other foot.

    Take the belts and run

    I don't think this is why. Styles make fights. Maybe Ruiz is good. I don't know yet. He has fast hands, but that body. He cannot be a long term champion.

    I would imagine it's a contractual obligation, to which Ruiz assented. That's the end of it. You should probably leave now.

    Hearn just confirmed live on the radio that there will be a re-match, probably in November, in the UK.

    Entire forum need to be happy for Ruiz JR and show him full respect.

    Ruiz Jr will be a household name FOREVER.

    He will be remembered FOREVER!!!!

    Extremely happy for Ruiz Jr and all underdogs in the world.

    This upset trumps Tyson/Douglas.

    People were talking mismatch before the fight.... yeah AJ was completely outclassed.

    The cash cow has been taken to the slaughter house.

    Congrats to Ruiz, AJ looked well out of sorts for much of the fight and not only because of Ruiz punches.

    Mr Ruiz the World Heavyweight Champion of the World we salute you.

    Respect to AJ at least he isn't complaining about the refs stoppage.

    All Ruiz did is literally throw hooks lol. That is all he did and Joshua could not get away from them. Terrible reflexes honestly.
