Anthony Joshua vs. Andy Ruiz Jr. III.

Why is everyone forgetting Joshua dropped Ruiz with the first combination he landed? Joshua clearly went in thinking he was going to blow him away. After the right hand Joshua was simply swinging for the fences and got caught with a punch he never recovered from. He was dropped again several times by glancing/not really impactful blows indicative that his head was all over the place after the first blow.

This fight was more inexperience for AJ to be honest. Only 20 or so fights in and thoguht he could just ragdoll and KO a guy with a solid chin (thanks to that fat neck of his.. And even then getting dropped by the first combination? Not exactly solid chin but great recovery).

Ruiz showed his level in the second fight yeah he weighed 20lbs more than the first but he has always been fat and has never had fast feet.

They did give AJ a massive ring though as they were rightly cautious of the same thing happening again. I think AJ could be more decisive in the third fight. He could be more offensive and throw combinations as long as he doesn't stand in the pocket and throw wild punches thinking the man's ready to go. Ruiz caught AJ with a few punches in the 8th round but as AJ was somewhat prepared for punches being landed he wasnt significantly hurt by them.

 

A.J was Oly gold medalist. So " inexperienced ".

What means chin evaluation?

For you anyone should stand and bang face to face and chin value is not resistance level vs concussions but balance etc too?
I had TKOed guy who had dropped me before this and this doesn't means that your chin is so bad if you had get down.
If you can smoothly fight after being dropped, this does not means bad chin.
Another guy : he lost vs me on points and I had to feel beatup level I had get more than 4 months after this one. So easy to evalue how " hurt " had been guy. Nope, he didn't had dropped me and fight was under K-1 rules.

 

Ruiz Wilder is the better fight to make.

I doubt people would buy into a Ruiz Joshua fight at this stage. No point making a fight that most fans don't really want to see.

 

Ruiz was beaten easily.

Got hit so hard in the 12h he thought he heard the bell ring.

3rd fight? Ruiz gets KOd in the 10th.

 

Still if bearing in mind competition level Ruiz III fight or Usyk or Whyte instead of Pulev had been more interesting.

In A.J fanboiZ and Al & Eddie business brains yeah. LOL.

You are so sure?
Your business cash cow in A.J had been finished by the same Ruiz in distance and in rematch just had scored points win vs Ruiz.
And because A.J is CASH COW for Al and eddie, A.J surprisingly appeared as guy with 0 need for business to have 3 rd fight with Ruiz.
Of course, pupp is businessman, business cash cow.
39 y.o Pulev was last his " performance '" show.

I will not buy talks about fight vs Fury, your pupp A.J is hometown cash cow, protected by al and eddie to milk with him money.
Nothing more he is there in business.

 

In the 2nd fight Ruiz would have KOed him again if it wasnt for Joshua running and clinching

 

I'd pick AJ, he boxed very well in the rematch. Though if Ruiz turns up he always has a chance.

 

rematch was good from both of them. Fight liked me a lot.
Depends: motivation during long term Ruiz might have etc factors.
Pulev? I even might had picked Dorticos and Briedis CW dudes to finish Pulev, not alone for A.J, Fury or some motivated HW dudes.

 

I think the trilogy has the potential to be the best of all their fights.

AJ looked excellent against Pulev, but that same style turned him into a baby deer trying to walk on ice against ARJ. If ARJ can take Reynosos training into the fight, and closes the ring down and let's his hands go he could be a big problem for AJ. If AJ runs and outside boxes he could win, AJ needs to look to deliver his devistating uppercut anytime Ruiz tries to inbox him.

I really like Andy, especially now he's with probably the top trainer in the game... But for me AJ probably wins a very competitive fight by fighting a safe fight.

 

It doesn't need to happen at all. Joshua already fully avenged his loss.

 

Ruiz has to beat someone and actually,,( GASP !),, earn a title shot.

 

This is the kind of thing Joshua might think about taking late in his career, when he needs a fight that they can sell, and nothing else seems on the table. There is no need for it now, and Joshua has bigger fish to fry.

 

Ohh, A.J fans talking about title shot earning etc.

Your A.J is proteced by Al and eddie.
Therefore 39 y.o Pulev had " earned " title shot because he was absolute underdog vs A.J

A.J is business not boxing champion.
He is Al and eddie champion not world champ.
Double standarts might make dude who is 1-1 vs Ruiz turn into " world champion " just because Al and eddie and clauses.

Next proof what stuff means " pro boxing championship " and better boxer.

A.J is PUPP not boxing champ.

 

Are you talking about a boxing match? No chance.

Andy easily beats AJ in a pie eating contest. He beats him soundly in any eating contest. Just not boxing. Definitely not boxing.
