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

Not read through the thread because it's massive.

But I can't be the only one who thinks that's the best Joshua has ever looked in the ring.

I never expected him to put on a schooling so thoroughly.

Don't get me wrong, he still isn't as good as Fury nor Wilder, but he looked sensational tonight with a punch perfect performance that leaves no room for criticism.

A very solid number 3 HW in the world.

 

missed the fight, but from reading the comments, it sounds like aj took the klit method of hw points accumulation.
ruiz should be ashamed of himself. after all the talk of being grateful, he puts in this type of control on his preparation. another guy who lacks the champion mentality.

 

Tend to agree with this. I think Wilder is the best in the world now and fancy him to stop Fury. AJ has a chance against both of them, but probably would fall short.

Only qualification is that Fury actually beat Wilder clearly in the first fight. I think if boxing wasn't corrupt we'd have already seen Wilder win the rematch. And obviously, all of this is just speculation. Nobody knows what will happen when they finally fight each other. I just hope it isn't in America or UK because the judges can't be trusted.

 

Still 1 on 1 Ruiz knocked his a$$ out first

 

I really enjoyed seeing Joshua get his **** together and box differently than we've seen before. He prepared, had a game plan, executed it well and stuck to it for 12 rounds. I didn't expect him to be able to keep up that stick and move **** for 12 rounds but he did. AJ obviously trained hard and wanted those belts back, unlike Ruiz who totally blew it.

 

great thread really,lots of knowledge and wit,was rooting for Ruiz but hes ill disciplined in his training regime.

 

As of this very post, one reply away from tying Mayweather vs. Maidana I for the number five all time spot..

 

Problem now is we'll have to stomach all the sycophantic British media & casuals gushing over him once again.. it'll be podcast after podcast about how great Anthony Joshua is for week after week again.. a shot 40 year old Wlad only lost to him cos big brother told him to hold off & the silly sod did & then gassed.. half of these people spent years calling Klitschko & the division he reigned over boring yet when Joshua turns into a bad WK tribute act against he's 'supreme.. a boxing master.. the division is back' etc it's absolutely laughable.. Media golden boy with all his sports scientists acting like he's now pernell Whitaker cos he UD'd a human verding machine.. LOL Even Wlads forgettable opponents like Wach years later are pushing the likes of Dillian Whyte too! But the division was 'dire back then' apparently.. Andy a fat **** you chowed down too much lard ass.. barely even showed up.. thanks for reigniting a million casuals again

 

Yep 1 fluke in New York, and 1 masterclass in the Saudi.
