    I thought Ruiz’s style and hand speed was gonna give aj some serious problems, I didn’t know if he would win or beat him up the way he did but I thought the fight was actually gonna be competitive. As a fan of aj I was rooting for him in both fights but before their first bout I was thinking that if AJ underestimates this guy he’s gonna be overwhelmed.
    Anyone think Ruiz was gonna win the first fight?

    I thought Ruiz could win but that AJ would win.

    Wasn't shocked.

    I thought Ruiz would be easy work for AJ, I was very wrong.

    I had money on Ruiz to beat AJ in the first fight, I did say BEFORE the fight in the rbr.

    16/1 to win by any method.

    My biggest priced "single bet" winner in a boxing match, previous best 9/1 Prescott to Beat Amir Khan.

    First time didnt think he is going to win but ridiculous odds in heavyweight title match made me put small bet on him. Second time I thought it was about 50/50 and was surprised how dominant Joshua was and lost small bet on Ruiz

    Given his skill set I thought Ruiz was a live dog.
    I did not expect the ko though.

    Not really but when I saw that ring walk and saw that look of uneasiness in his eyes I knew that he was gonna loose. Did catch a interview earlier in the fight week about Wilder and he was asked if he would fight Wilder and his response was ‘Maybe’ his expression was way off so my thoughts went up after seeing him not be his usual self.

    Didn't know that much about Ruiz before there first fight, so watched a few YouTube videos straight away said to my Mrs Joshua is going to have a hard time on the inside dealing with that hand speed.

    Didn't see him getting sparked like that tho
