Comments Thread For: Hearn Expects Andy Ruiz To Go All-Out Against Joshua

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

So the great promoters Baz and ED. have got a top of the bill in Madison square gardens that is a black and white version of Laurel and Hardy . Ruiz is wide open fat and little takes shots and is tailor made for Joshua .You couldn't make this up. Just cancel the show and stick to snooker.This an insult to boxing fans!

Better than choosing Fat pot-head way past his prime Chris Arreola as a replacement - ala Wilder.

Fat Bastard has ZERO chance.

If America had anybody other than fat slobs and cowards to fight I'm sure AJ would fight them.

Wilder ducked.
Miller busted out.
Breazeale got KTFO.
Molina got KTFO.
Martin got KTFO.
Ortiz ducked.

Who do you suggest AJ fight at MSG?

Thack is a sadist. Everybody knows him on this platform.

Who else do Americans have? They should Bring them fort if they have any better than Ruiz Jr.

Let's go Snickers Man! Ruiz is an alright opponent. Could be a lot worse so I'm cool with this, BUT.. AJ has to get busy with Fury or Deyonce next time - yet it won't be happen.

I find it amusing, and a little pathetic, so many people denigrate Ruiz for his appearance but ignore the fact that he can flat out fight. It's easy and lazy to ridicule him for his appearance.

Ruiz had the cajones to step in and accept the fight knowing the payday will help secure and his family's future. I fully expect him to try and win; he has some skills and essentially fought Joseph Parker on even terms.

I would have preferred to see Ortiz but that's not Ruiz' fault and I hope he can make a compelling fight out of it.

I had to pick a guy in my heart who I thought will do everything to become world heavyweight champion at the Garden." - Eddie Hearn

If I'm Michael Hunter, I feel some type of way right now! What does that statement mean about him? Hunter has one loss, to Usyk @ CW! He leaves PBC, signs with MatchRoom, coming off an impressive win over Ustinov on the road, and who gets the fight? A guy who just became a PBC fighter! Go figure!

At least he’s got the balls to get in the ring with AJ, unlike others.
That said, he might just be hungry. AJ’s biggest danger is getting eaten by Ruiz rather than beaten....the disgusting, fat, pig.

I just don't see an avenue to victory here for Ruiz. He can punch but he is not a huge puncher. He doesn't seem to have anymore stamina than Joshua so unless Joshua does something ****** I doubt Ruiz can outlast him either.

But I thought Ruiz beat Parker, so there's that anyway.

This a joke and will end within three rounds tops....this kid will throw as he does but he's wide open short arms and gets hit at will.Top of the bill PPV Barry really needs to cut down on the Stella .....this is ridiculous at this stage of Joshua's career.
