Actuslly, of someone is really good at moving and distance maintance, its quite diffucult to catch up with them. A lot of boxers need to set down before punching. Ruiz is one of them. If you turn him, he will be out of position to throw effective punches . (Him being a lard ass had to make it even worse) And when Ruiz did catch up, Joshua managed to keep his cool and stick to the gameplan. I think its a rather underrated performance mainly because of how out of shape Ruiz was.
@mark ant let me know your thoughts on how ortiz vs ruiz would play out i would like to see your side on how you think it would go
I`d lean towards Ortiz, Ruiz`s prep for his rematch withn AJ was awful, he didn`t study the first fight to see what he did right, he just went on about God giving him this punch, it was odd, Ortiz is more of a pro but it would be a good fight.
You're right and I probably underrate it as a result of that too, but that aspect of it cannot be ignored, along with the much larger ring too. I'd describe it as a 'professional' performance. Dedication matters in this game
