    This guy was hurt, dropped and battered all over the ring by an obese man.

    What in the hell happened? Somebody please help me understand.

    Andy Ruiz probably needs bloodwork done regularly and probably takes pills for heart attack prevention.

    What in the **** is going on right now????

    I am asking the same thing xD
    Just can't comprehend how a muscular, big, tall man is KOed by a short fat man. Joshua looked like he knew he had been ordered to lose the fight. He showed no speed, his chin has disappeared completely.
    I think a serious investigation should be launched to check in the fight was prearranged and it was all a theatre. It might have nothing to do with Hearn/Dazn/Matchroom. It might involved in betting business. It's just so strange.
    I don't want to disrespect Ruiz but AJ cannot be beaten like that. I expected, because of Wilder 1st round KO, that Joshua will go full attack right from the start and will KO Ruiz in 20 seconds using his muscles and size.
    WTF HAPPENED

    AJ was and is a hype job my friend. I viewed him as the most overrated boxer out of all current fighters despite getting a lot of hate for it. AJ has a weak chin especially for a heavyweight and no gas tank. If you noticed, he even kind of looked relieved after the loss. Guy was under a huge amount of pressure to live up to the hype .

    I’m not as into boxing as I once was, and tbh, has little to no idea who Ruiz is prior to this fight. Other than fast hands, I saw nothing in his skill set that indicates he’s anything special. I don’t know what to think of this...something ain’t right.

    Watch some of his old fights.

    The key was handspeed, Ruiz Jr is really very fast. You don't stand and trade with a heavyweight who is much faster than you because any punch can take you out.

    No tricks or gimmicks, Andrés Ponce Ruiz Jr. simply proved to be the superior fighter of the two.

    Look at some of his amature fights...he has been packing Glass for a while hence his avoidance of Wilder.!!!

    i wonder if AJ isa tottenham fan. I'm not going to look it up.

    But whether you are packing too much muscle or too much fat, the result is you arent built for top level cardio sport.

    People forget weight is weight. Doesn’t matter if it’s muscle or fat, if it’s behind the punch it’s gonna sting

    You dont win boxing matches for having a body like a male stripper.

    You actually need boxing skill, technique, durability, heart, ability to take a punch and power
