Dont forget it folks. Some of you Wilder fans need to remember Wilder and Ruiz are different people. Wilder didnt beat Joshua. Wilder wouldnt fight Joshua.
Wilders fans are all adamant there was nothing wrong with AJ, in the Ruiz rematch the same thing will happen again cuz Joshua is no good, a fraud with no chin that has been protected and all that. Fine if you think that way but doesnt that just make it worse for Deontay Wilder?
Wilder claimed he always knew this, so why not take the fight? Why duck? What type of gamble is that? Gambling on himself he said. Well if he knew Joshua was ripe for the KO cuz hes just a protected fraud why wait for somebody else to jump in there and do it before him? Only way any of that makes sense is if Wilder was scared and was ducking Joshua. Nahhhh, that aint no gambling on himself thats actually called HIDING.
The man still ducked Anthony Joshua, nothing has changed there. Andy Ruiz faced and beat Joshua so Wilder can gloat all he wants but he needs to remember it was NOT HIM, it was RUIZ who did that. All that ducking still happened. The duck emojis dont go away. American number 2 heavyweight now behind a fat Mexican.
yeah wilder will duck the fury rematch if he looks good against tom schwarz! cause schwarz is wilder!!! same guy...totally comparible and almost identical! lol
I'm 100% sure it would have been if Ruiz had been waved out in the same circumstances.
Equally sure that none of you fools would be saying he quit.
If Ruiz spit out his mouthguard, turned his back on the ref, walked back to his corner, and took 25 seconds to answer "yes" while ignoring all of the other refs commands, nobody would call that a UK stoppage. Quite frankly, he wouldn't have been given those chances.
I'm not calling Ruiz Mexican, I'm telling you that Ruiz calls himself Mexican!
Wilder cherry picked Fury because he thought he was shot. I'm expecting him to duck the rematch if Fury looks to be back to his best against Schwartz.
Still hating on Wilder. He picked Fury when AJ was too scared to and because he did you have to lower Fury. Fury already ducked the rematch.
Man you guys are truly weak. No wonder Yoko Ono broke up the Beatles so easily-she was the only man among all of them.
exatly bro, I understand fanbases talking smack to one another, that happens; but these guys are the absolute worst lol.. its sad to see, I think a lot of them are teenagers... they are actually making it worse on aj, I'm ready to get off the guy but they leave me no other choice.
I know the loss was unexpected but damn these dudes are really hurt. This is worse than Manny fans when he got KTFO.
AJ was robbed was he? That was a UK Stoppage? Jesus you're reaching now.
I'm 100% sure it would have been if Ruiz had been waved out in the same circumstances.

Do what you gotta do to deal with the embarrassment of Saturday night. Call Ruiz Mexican, hate on Wilder, it's all good. Does not change the current status of British HWT boxing.
Fury is fighting an absolute bum rather than a wilder rematch. He went from being an inspiration with his comeback to a complete joke with the move he made. AJ is a laughing stock across the globe.
I just don't understand why all you guys are reacting this way since it's got to be in your DNA. I mean if I type the words "British Heavyweight", Apple automatically brings up-"gets knocked out by American named".
LMFAO!!

No, I didn't say that. And I'm not acting like AJ is the first boxer to get a concussion. He isn't, and neither is he the first boxer to beat a count after getting knocked down, tell the ref he wanted to continue, but have the fight waved off anyway, because he was obviously concussed, gassed, and not in any fit state to continue.
I've seen that happen many times, but I've never seen it called "quitting" till now.
"UK stoppage"and "robbery" yes, but not quitting,
AJ was robbed was he? That was a UK Stoppage? Jesus you're reaching now.
3 concussions. One from boxing, one from hockey, one from car accident.
Why are you guys acting like Joshua is the first boxer to get a concussion? The sport is punching each other in the head. Up until recently they'd use smelling salts in the corners. Care to make a guess why?
Hell, weren't you one of the posters who was saying Breazelle gave Wilder a concussion two weeks ago?

Losing to an actual real American would be worse than any of those options, given how pathetic your heavyweights are nowadays.

The British Boxing fan is proving to be the most emotional, feminine, b-tch made creature on the face of the earth.
Anything related to Wilder and AJ is old news. The story now is AJ went from
Classy to Ashy overnight when he got beat down by Ruiz.
I get that a country full of insecure “men” led by a woman couldn’t handle losing to a fat, portly no name but this level of whining is shameful.
I mean this isn’t the 1st time an over rated British hype job HWT got ktfo by an American who was relatively unknown. You guys should be used to this level of failure. It’s part of your boxing dna.
Just more proof that it’s better to be a fat yank than a chiseled British fairy.

If Ruiz wins the rematch with AJ and Wilder beats Fury in their rematch, then an undisputed HW title fight between Ruiz and Wilder would be huge in the US, and possibly worldwide too.
I'm sure................
... You said, initially, that Al Haymon was right not to let Wilder and Ortiz fight AJ...
OK, OK... I never had a horse in such a race...
... Now: tell me just how Wilder gets $100 million vs Ruiz?... :) ... You'll tell me that it doesn't matter, and what would matter is that Wilder will be the undisputed champion... OK, OK...

I didn't say he was right. I was just saying he wasn't going to help Hearn sell dazn subs by making a multi fight deal for his 2 biggest draws at HWT.
I don't know that wilder ever makes $100 mil. I know that if he has 2 PPV fights with Fury and a Ruiz that has beaten AJ 2x, he could make almost that much depending on the PPV sales. Only time will tell.
My point is for us as fans, having the 2 guys that cleaned out the division fighting for the lineal title and all the belts would be great even though it wouldn't be what we thought AJ/wilder would be.
OK, then... :)
He is Mexican American. you know this. If this makes you feel better, ok.
Frankly, him losing to a Mexican is even worse since they have no real history in the HWT division.
WHose AJ going to lose to next, a pygmy heavyweight? Maybe a Cambodian HWT?

Boy was that a stupid decision. Willing to bet that would have sold a couple subscriptions
Yup. Hearn didn't want a PPV fight in the US he wanted to launch DAZN instead.
All of this has made it clear that the conflicts of interests on all sides are really messing things up. Hearn blocks because of dazn. Haymon blocks because of fox/sHO. Arum blocks because of espn.
Just wish they outlawed exclusive tv/streaming deals and let the highest bidding network show the fight.

Wilder was likely home watching the fight.
Haymon didn't choose his 1st or 2nd stringer because he didn't want to help Hearn sell dazn subscriptions. Same way Hearn/AJ didn't choose wilder but instead chose povetkin so AJ could launch dazn.
you know this but are desperate to try and shift the focus away from AJ losing in such a devastating and embarrassing way.
You guys are trying to make wilder the other loser Sat night. He wasn't. There was only one loser and it was AJ. There was only one winner and it was Ruiz.
Accept is and deal with your emotions in a more mature, masculine way.

You obviously have no idea what it's like to have your senses scrambled by head punches in a boxing match.
3 concussions. One from boxing, one from hockey, one from car accident.
