Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua vs. Andrés Ponce Ruiz Jr. RBR

I agree, they are almost talking like Ruiz landed a few lucky shots.

Ruiz had a perfect game plan, was patient, didn't panic when he was dropped, got up and continued the game plan with the same mentality.


What's also being forgotten, 5 weeks camp, Ruiz only had 5 weeks for this, a rematch he has a full camp, I don't believe AJ wins the rematch.

 

Man, I'm a Brit but I'm so happy

Glad this fake got exposed.

And to have it happen by a guy who looks like Butterbean is just incredible

Ruiz seems like a top guy, glad for him

 

9/1 for me too, Soto-Rios and Jhonny Gonzalez KO Mares.

Ruiz was +1000 and I missed it. I'm still fuming about it. I don't get why Bovada had the fight for 8PM and closed the window early. The fight hadn't started when I logged on.

 

he wasnt even hit that clean.

 

Well I think Parker, Ruiz and Joshua are the same level. 2nd Tier solid heavyweights

 

Goes to show what good combination punching can do

 

You know I think a big moment was that 2nd knockdown at the end of the 3rd round. It was right before the end of the round. That was a huge momentum swing. The first knockdown of AJ just evened up the round but when he got knocked down again right before the end of that 3rd round it was a huge moment.

 

...is there such a thing as an active 1st tier heavyweight, IYO?

 

Andy Clark looks like he’s just lost a loved one

 

I said before the first bell that Joshua did not look right, he seemed disinterested, lethargic sticking his gum-shield out and slumping over the ropes. At the end of round 1 he was on his stool breathing like it was the end of the 11th and did not look composed at all. He certainly didn’t look like the big strong powerhouse that we’ve seen in his previous fights, far from it!

He got sloppy chasing the KO and I genuinely believe he was concussed for the rest of the fight. He was asking strange questions in his corner which is a sign of concussion. Even his behaviour toward the ref and after the fight was over looked odd

 

Khan was always going to happen, he had already been dropped by Willie Limond and they bring over a Colombian with a record of something like 19-0 (18 KO) and he looked phycially huge.

I was so fast on that 9/1 Prescott my betting slip got burned around the edges LoL

 

Joshua needs a new trainer for me. He doesn’t seem to be improving, and he looked/sounded confused by McCracken’s instructions. Either that, or he is just thick as pig****.

 

I'm not salty at all. You can't defend your point properly and resort to calling me salty, etc. Next.

 

Hearn is talking about how Joshua had him hurt and didn't finish. Ruiz was completely aware as he went down, it was more off balance.

 

He looked OK in the first two rounds, but after that 3rd round, when he came out in the 4th round definitely looked extremely fatigued, and I said to myself AJ doesn't look like he could last the distance.
