Seen a fair few people on about this Something just seems amiss to me like. He didn't seem shocked or gutted to lose. Quite the opposite in fact. Hearn and Joshua were on about cracking the USA and fighting around the world then the rematch has already been set for London. Strange. The amount of times we have heard the " Mexican heavyweight champion" from Hearn and Joshua as well. The Mexicans contribute massive to dazn PPV numbers so trying to get them on board for a money spinning rematch? If it was one great clean shot then fair enough that's heavyweight boxing but he didn't even seem to get hit with anything major, certainly nothing as bad as against klitsckho and Whyte. Just seems odd someone built like a Greek god who has been training for this for 6 months can lose to a fat brawler. We all know the heavyweight division is crooked as **** and Hearn and Joshua only care about money
He got tagged clean by Klitsckho, povetkin and Whyte, far harder cleaner shots than anything Ruiz landed and took them and came back to win yet a few glancing blows off Ruiz an he folded like a pack of cards. Not having it. Ruiz didn't even look a good boxer just a brawler
Ruiz was very calm throughout for a brawler - you should have seen him when someone nicked his Big Mac Meal in McDonalds post fight.
This tubby little Mexican would be jabbed to death by fury, battered to a pulp by wilder and outboxed by Ortiz. I’d pick Ruiz to beat the limited whyteleafe and maybe joey twelve Parker which shows the chinny robots true level
If there are any conspiracies surrounding this fight then they are very deep and the general public will never know
ruiz almost Fury'd him and just broke his heart and head, constant shots every round, couldn't get near Ruiz after the 3rd and rather than dig deep or try a plan b, Joshua had no clue what to do, once plan a, b and c of just hit him hard and knockout had gone out the window he was like a lost puppy
he was out of it from the first time he got hurt. difference between them was that ruiz could keep fighting when hurt. ruiz was just too mexican for him.
This is the worst time to be a boxing fan, when a big story breaks. Everyone on the street has an opinion and most of it is complete garbage. My take is that Ruiz was underated. I didn't expect him to win but thought he would be tough and might cause some issues early - like Povetkin. I probably landed on him being too small and not having the power to really dent Joshua. To be honest prior to the fight, I really didn't think Joshua's chin was that bad, now I'm just confused! He just looked exhausted after getting tagged in the first notable flurry of the fight. He never recovered and looked completely gassed. I think has Ruiz gone hard in 4-7 he would have got him out of there. It reminded me of Wlad v Brewster in all honesty
So when Joshua blows Ruiz away in the rematch in London In front of 90,000 at Wembley are we still going to pretend last night wasn't fixed?
