beats Joshua..Big balls, fast hands, great counter puncher..This is the end of Joshua's reign, he earned good money, but he got found out with someone that truly wanted to win..Congrats to Ruiz
I'm not sure that's true OP, I picked Ruiz, but I can see Joshua UD in the rematch if he is disciplined.
everytime Joshua throws Ruiz responded with hard shots, he couldn't take it, he was in great condition but he hasn't been confident for a while and this is why, I think hes chinny
I don't think we can say he would always win. A few hours ago we were saying he would be knocked out early. And he was knocked down with a good punch in round 3.. Another clean punch and AJ might have had a 3rd round knockout.
Ruiz could take them, Joshua could not..This wasn't caught cold, this was a no excuses loss to the better man, hurt/dropped and comeback straight away !
The only thing I care about is both fighters coming back motivated. I want to see both these fighters come in the rematch with a meanstreak.
Speed kills.Joshua is a lumbering beefy heavyweight couldn’t get away from the rapid punches that came in bunches.Check mate!
It was a good style matchup. Ruiz has fast hands. Good win.. But again had Joshua stayed back used his jab and tried to land when Ruiz came in he could have had a knockout. Don't try to land the hook, try to counter with the right and then hold. Simple fight. Land the right is better from a distance, if he tries to land the left he will be in Ruiz range also. Ruiz will not stay champion long with that body. That is not judging him by the body, but he had a good win tonight and looked good. Other fighters will be different.
You could say that about every fight theres ever been, diff tactics, thing is, perhaps Ruiz didn't let him and had him backing up where he had no power
no. Joshua has 82 inch reach and Ruiz 74 like Ray Leonard.. That is not like every fight. Joshua has to use the jab to the body and head and set up the punches.
