    Why did Joshua lose?

    I'm shocked to find out that Ruiz beat Joshua last night. Why did Joshua lose? Was he not prepared, since Ruiz was a replacement for Miller, is Ruiz a bad style match-up for him, or is Joshua just not as good as advertised?

      All that hgh doesn’t do much for your chin and heart. He’s always been like this but those UK refs always kept him safe when he got hurt.

          For one he was hyped like crazy so wasn't as good as everyone made him out to be. Then he showed he has no heart last night. Ruiz showed his a true warrior and has heart, but Joshua showed the opposite, that he's not a true warrior.

              He got careless trying to finish Ruiz off instead taking his time. Amateur mistake. He never recovered from that temple shot Ruiz landed. Same thing happened to Hurd after Williams dropped him. Had cobwebs the rest of the fight.

                  Either Ruiz is massively under rated or Joshua is vastly over rated.

                          This right here,

                          He was in LaLa land after the shot.

                              Ruiz fights like a smaller weight fighter. With fast hands, multi-punch combinations, and bodyshots.

                              I think that combination of things made heavyweight Joshua extremely uncomfortable. Especially the body blows, they looked like they were sapping his endurance.

                              He also looked nervous about the occasion for whatever reason.

                                  Joshua didn't seem like he took Ruiz seriously.

                                  He wasn't expecting him to be so fast and everytime he got hit he went into survival mode.

                                  Plus his horrible stamina showed up.

                                      He went into panic mode and then Ruiz tore him apart because of it.
