Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz Drops Anthony Joshua Four Times, Stops Him in Shocker

I'm happy that Wilder-Joshua is dead. Thank you Boxing Gods.

Jessie Vargas is the first one who is ecstatic. The others don't care about their fellow American's historic win. Sad stuff.

Fellow American? You mean Andy Ruiz who is definitely nailing his belts to the Mexican flag? Why should they be patriotic if he's proclaiming himself the first Mexican HW champion?

For the blokes who have nothing better to say other than Wilder not getting $100M. When was he going to get it when $80M that was for Joshua who after tonight likely wouldn't want to face Wilder until late 2020 at best. Where would that have left Wilder? Stuck on DAZN?

Joshua fought like he'd been blazing up in the dressing room. Something really really bizarre has just happened. Either he didn't really care, or he's a great loser, or he's stoned, or he's concussed. Something isn't right.

That's why i always pay close attention to the ring walk and how the guy looks like before the bell, AJ didn't look good to me. Once I saw Ruiz get up and had steady legs, I figured AJ's only hope was for Andy to gas out late.

After the Martin fight, I got bashed for saying AJs muscles made him gas really quickly. Anyways, not saying I predicted, but I'm not surprised. AJ has never been that active with his jab and that was the key against a shorter guy with faster hands.

This fight and the Wilder ko actually had me yelling out of pure excitement! Got to love the theatre of the unexpected!

So I have to work. I keep my sports updates on phone for when I get ahead of my job duties. I pull out my device and scrolled through the notifications. I see Anthony Joshua" and "Knock out" and shrug my shoulders as that is what we all expected. As I set my phone back, it slowly dawns on me what I just read.

As I peeled my jaw off the ground, I slowly go from shock and awe to fairly pumped and giddy. I mean, who doesn't love a good upset when you do not have a dog in the fight?

I respected Ruiz. I NEVER would have picked him. Ever. like... EVER. What an upset.

Why do I feel like AJ took a dive here?

Idk, wishful thinking? You were just so invested in believing that AJ was a special fighter. He wasn't. He was well, truly and emphatically exposed tonight.

Just shows wilder made right call by not agreeing to 4 fight deal with dazn he would of been in limbo for his next which was suppose be aj as long as aj made it through his American debut..... still made same money for breazeale fight on showtime dazn offered him and kept his network free agency to agree to fighting fury on joint ppv with espn/showtime if he gets through the rematch against Ortiz

Think he made about half for the Breazeale fight, from what I saw.

Either way a potential opportunity missed for both Joshua and Wilder, money wise. We will see what happens going forward - I don't think it was ever going to sell like most wanted it to, but it still would have done pretty well.

This result probably makes Wilder-Fury bigger if they both win. I wouldn't sleep on Ortiz vs Wilder though. Wish that wasn't on PPV, I would like to see that one.
