    Great performance from Aj
    His feet and jab were excellent
    I dont know what Ruiz was thinking. He was not going to win on points or land a ko like that
    But dazn commentator need to stop praising Aj for every second of the fight. It makes his performance look fake while it was really a good one

    Masterclass from AJ, he had Ruiz confused and demoralised, never seen AJ's jab and stamina look so good. Yes shades of Wlad, yes it wasn't exciting but let's not forget he has only had 2 stinkers in his whole career so I won't hold it against him.

    This fight reminded me of Terry Norris - Simon Brown 2.

    Norris shocking destroyed in the first fight and then putting on a ****ing boxing clinic in the rematch and dominating.

    Props to AJ.

    It reminds of when people blamed Wlad for his opponents being unable to compete with him.

    News flash: it ain't AJ's job to give Ruiz a fighting chance. Andy spending too much time at the tamale stand is what fans should be mad at.

    Very good performance by AJ. He employed the right tactics to win the fight and losing the mass served him very well. It was dull as dishwater though and Fat Andy with his huge disadvantages in reach and height was having difficulty all night closing the distance and whenever he did so AJ wrapped him up like an octopus and prevented him from working and the ref let him get away with it which made Fat Andy's task a near impossible one.

    It was Lewis - Tua replay (Tua was fat like hell too then).

    Props to AJ, boring fight but an excellent win.

    The lack of quality exchanges had as much to with Ruiz's lack of ability to cut off the ring or counter over AJs jab.
    Throughout the fight he waited for the fight ending shot to be served to him on a silver platter rather than trying to take the lead and force the action, he looked timid from the start!

    No fan of Joshua.

    But he did what I expected in the first fight.

    Use your height and size to beat the much smaller man.

    That ring though!

    Say what you will about AJ, but he is a professional. He trained hard. He came in with a gameplan. He did what he needed to do with win the fight.

    Ruiz is the exactly opposite. Unprofessional, didn't train much and his game plan was landing a lucky shot.

    I favor AJ against Wilder. He has more boxing skills and he has enough power to knock Wilder out.
