Anyone else still in shock?

[W1LL]

Actually no. At first of course it is a shock, but I never saw Joshua as being invincible so not really. Just a great night in boxing. Happy about that more than anything.

Now I can't wait to see how Joshua comes back for the rematch.

Just watched an iFL TV interview with Ruiz in the immediate aftermath. He says he's spoken to Al Haymon and they want the rematch in Mexico, and Haymon will do all he can to sort it out. This could get interesting if Ruiz doesn't play ball with the rematch being in the UK.

im not, both ruiz and joshua are great for the sport, if anything i think aj took the loss pretty well. don't be fooled by ruiz build he has great power and quick hands. In the second meeting i see joshua winning by decision however i wouldn't be mad if ruiz wins again. after tonight im an even bigger fan of both. cheers

Lol, I don't see it happening in Mexico.

I'm honestly not sure Hearn gets his wish of it taking place in the UK either. DAZN is going to push HARD for it to happen in the states. The rematch is going to do GREAT business and you're telling me DAZN will just let it go to the UK? Will be hard for Hearn to pull this off unless they have something in Joshua's contract where he fights once in the states and once in the UK.

[SN!PER]

After tonight I expect a lot of cruiserweights to start moving up to heavyweight.

Size doesn't matter, it's about will and hard work. Andy has proven it!

[sicko]

Upsets are GREAT for the sport of boxing, yeah it sucks when it is a fighter you like of course but the Comeback story is far more entertaining than Pampering and Protecting your 0

AJ will be fine, you get the f#ck back up and you work HARDER to come back STRONGER!

I think more than anything I'm shocked at just how short Ruiz was sold vs. what we saw in the ring. I get it because he's fat, but the last two things you expect from a fat man are speed and stamina, and those were clearly the keys to his victory, because Joshua was just hopelessly outgunned when he stumbled into Ruiz's range and his gas tank failed him big time while Ruiz was still going strong. I know he says he wants to get into shape but maybe the flab helps him endure the opponent's power and adds extra weight to his shots. Better chin, faster hands, deeper tank, bigger heart, even if he does have the wobblier belly. Probably the biggest breakout performance I could name from the last decade or further back still.

So now we're going to act like Ruiz is a power puncher? lmao He's definitely not pillow fisted but he's not in the realm of an Ortiz

[Tomjas]

Nope

AJ has shown vulnerability before

He isn’t a Tyson or Foreman

This is without a doubt the biggest upset in boxing history.. But we'll get over it. This is heavyweight boxing and I hated that the mega fight was being marinated as you just never know what will happen. I remember watching Wilder vs Ortiz and screaming at the TV for Wilder to hug Ortiz and get past him.. I wanted the big fight between AJ and Wilder so bad.

Ruiz wasn't just a underdog.. He was expected to be a quick knockover. AJ has beat better opponents but this is boxing.. I kept thinking AJ can land one and just finish it before he gets too hurt.. But hey Ruiz is now a champ and de deserves it.

Maybe in British boxing history, but in actual boxing history the biggest upset is still Buster vs Tyson, and few others ahead of this one as well.

[JimRaynor]

I’m still in utter shock. And I’m starting to think there’s some conspiracy and ritual involved. Josh’s body language all week has been off and there was an article on Forbes earlier this year predicting that Josh will lose this year.

Then you look at the scar on his face on fight week, how Miller failed the drug test like he intentionally did it. Everything is just bizarre.

Do you think the illuminati might be involved?
