The truth about Joshua vs Ruiz...

Ruiz might not hit as hard as Joshua and the back of the head punch might have messed AJ up big time

but Ruiz is a much harder man overall

He will win any trades

AJ will be blowing by round 6/7 and Ruiz will eat his breakfast for a second time.

I've never seen AJ manage to compose a 12 round boxing job, ever.

He always ends up planting his feet like a big stiff idiot with his chin in the air like he just don't care and having trades. He can't trade it with Ruiz...

 

Egg chin is a big liability at HW. Just ask Fraudley Harrison.

 

Finally someone talks some sense and facts. Full credit to thread starter! I dont even know how can someone disagree with those points, without being absolutely clueless. Just mindless and blind hating

 

Nah. Ruiz kicked his ass. Joshua quit because Ruiz kept beating on him.

 

Here we go with the “Ruiz landed a lucky punch in the 3rd round” rubbish. I don’t know how many times it has to be said, there was more to it than that. Ruiz was landing plenty in rounds one and two and it was evident he was likely to hurt AJ, he had him hurt in the 2nd round.

The fact he got knocked down and was still able to hurt AJ tells you something. There were stylistic issues here, Ruiz was faster and landed better combinations. If AJ fans think that one punch was the problem they are grasping at straws, Ruiz will land plenty in the rematch, and likely land another “lucky punch”.

 

He managed it against Parker. But Parker was dumb with his attacking raids - charging and swinging wildly like the only chance he had was a flash knockout. Ruiz Jr was a much more composed stalking, he was willing to feel flush shots to deliver his own which Parker wasn't.

You can see by Round 5 or 6 Ruiz has figured out the time to hit Joshua is when he has landed flush on Ruiz, as Joshua always pauses to see if he has him hurt enough to follow with a flurry. Has worked thus far for Joshua as he never met anyone willing to back their chin against his power.

It will be much harder for Joshua to decision Ruiz without getting caught in an exchange during the fight than it was Parker. Ruiz was relentlessly coming forward even in Rounds 1 and 2. I think a KO/TKO either way is by far the more likely outcome.

 

If Joshua isn't a big puncher what does that say about Joshua's punch resistance? Packing more glass than the Louvre Pyramid.

 

Relatively short arms with a short range of motion with quick shoulders

 

Andy is no one punch KO guy but he throws combos and has a solid chin

 

the fight went to seven if you can't recover in that amount of time you're not going to win

 

I have the fight on dvd, in Slow-Mo it's a perfect Left-Hook to Frankenroids Right-Temple that made him do the Jig and Wobble, shortly after he was on the canvas!!

This "Behind the Head" crap is the Joshua Cucks making excuses for their Idol God!!
