Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Admits: I Need To Knock Ruiz Out in U.S. Debut!

[1hourRun]

Not only does Anthony need a KO victory but he needs to make it look easy because of his Olympic Pedigree and physical advantage -- like our American Olympic WBC HW longest reigning HW champion Deontay 'Bronze-Bomber' Wilder did to Dominic Breazeale for KOTY 2019.

Anything less is failure.

Ruiz has a very good chin, I won't be shocked if this goes the distance and if Ruiz wins some rounds on activity and this is more of a 116-112 type fight

Funny shet seeing people on her calling Ruiz a bum and saying he gets taken out in 1 round .
Watch Parker vs Ruiz . Close fight .

Ruiz is actually pretty good. Not good enough to beat AJ . But good enough to go the distance and win a few rounds .

Ruiz seems durable. AJ couldn't knock Parker down, and Parker couldn't knock Ruiz down once.

To be fair to AJ, he never had the chance to knock Parker down because JP made a business decision and danced out of range all fight.

Joshua is bigger, more muscular and stronger. He also has a significant height and reach advantage over Ruiz. Ruiz has never even beaten a No. 10 ranked guy in his career, let alone a champion. Even his interviews show no determination or confidence in winning, just an endless smiling face because he got a financial jackpot.

I do not see this fight going past 2 rounds.

Like a lot of people are predicting, 12 rounds or late stoppage for Joshua here. I would be surprised if he stops Ruiz early.

it will go about 7 rounds imo, just worry about doing good and winning, the KO will come
