Joshua v Ruiz Press conference

So the New York one is today as well... I know the fight sells itself but I'd be very surprised if we have three press conferences without something happening...

Wonder if someone like Wilder, Fury or Miller will show up today...

Live stream has just started. I'm tuning in while I have my dinner, Ruiz looking every bit the class clown.

 

A non event. Most explosive moment was Joshua shouting out Shannon Briggs and giving it a “let’s go champ!”

 

All we got was Shannon Briggs shouting his usual 'Let's go champ'... Which was probably the best bit about the conference. That or Ruiz's big hat.

 

ahhh how can you not root for Andy Ruiz jnr.

 

Some desperate times when you're paying Briggs' travel/expenses to be knocking about the gaff.. lol

To his credit that is excellent and correct. That’s how I want him to talk. Stop trying to sound like a philosophical role model and let’s have some more real trash talk.

 

Nice, I like that. Fury is an annoying hypocrite.

Gives it the big one about "dossers, fighting bums, I don't sell out for anyone, I am a fighting man, I dont fight for money blah blah blah".

 

Fair play!

I like how AJ has the front to say that. He's earned it, and he's right. Fury is a clown.

 

Great comment from AJ that had to be said, the Heavyweight division needs an AJ win to keep it interesting. If Ruiz wins again, which I don't think he will, he'll just get iced by Wilder or we'll have 12 rounds of Tyson Fury brushing him with his paws as he dances those little legs around the ring. Like him or not, AJ brings more to the table and an angry, straight talking, ruthless AJ is what we want, inside and outside of the ring. No more bulls**t acting from now on.

 

Joshua looked spaced out yesterday at the New York press conference plus he sounding like a Tyson Fury hater. Pressure is on for little aj.

 

Ruiz's face, when he smiles, is so annoying. He has such a punchable mug.

 

To be fair they’re covering some distance and time zones. I look like that after a 4 hour flight to Tenerife

Joshua had no trouble landing on it on June 1st. I watched it again last night...there’s about 6 or 7 throughout the fight that would have starched most heavyweights. They were all on chin. I think he might have more success landing on Ruiz’s temple instead. However, I think Joshua will be keeping it very simple in rematch...no hooks, just jab and straight right.

 

Joshua needs to pummel Ruiz to the body IMO.
