Why did Joshua lose?

[-Kev-]

He can’t take a punch. Ruiz could. Ruiz took his KD, came back and ate that same punch he got caught with and returned fire and Joshua couldn’t take the fire.

Makes you wonder if someone as chunky like Ruiz can beat Joshua, who else in history can beat him? Ali, Foreman, Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Vitali? Wlad was not that far from getting the W either.

After he hit Ruiz with that left hook he didn't take his time but he thought he could just rush for the KO and take out Ruiz easy. He was wrong, Ruiz already recovered and hit him back with short crisp counters. AJ couldn't take them and never recovered and then later crumbled under the pressure Ruiz brought with him. Dude never recovered

All hype. I knew along time ago that AJ wasn’t on the same elite level that Wilder and Fury are on. I know Eddie Hearn feels like **** for trying to bamboozle the American Public with his UK propaganda.

Not on the same level as Wilder lol ?

You acting like Wilder is such a master boxer bro lmao? He has that power and good stamina, speed and a solid chin. His skills are nothing to brag about and I would still say Joshua has more skill despite having less endurance and chin

I love this world where someone's either a "bum/hype job" or an "ATG".

AJ's a good fighter, but made a massive mistake tonight. Ruiz has slower feet but faster hands.... maybe if he'd realised Ruiz wasn't actually that hurt by the KD he wouldn't have elected to trade in the centre (center, Fat Yanks) of the ring with him...

Personally, I don't believe he was mentally prepared for this bout. During the entire week long build up in the U.S. He was obsessed with fighting Deontay Wilder and was constantly being asked questions about the "Bronze Bomber".

I thought he was distracted, tight and needed to relax more. However, Wilder was always in the back of his mind the entire time. He even admitted it in the post fight ring interview.

i did not even watch the fight coz i thought it was a mismatch until i woke up today...lol

Lmao I’m so sick you Wilder Haters and trolls. You can’t find 1 time where I said a thing about Wilder being a “Master Boxer” as you call it lol.

Not about to go back and forth with you about something that’s so blatantly obvious lol. It’s apparent that Some of y’all just wanna conversation.

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?

We've seen it often, actually.

Ray Robinson looked sublime beating up on guys smaller than him. When the table was turned Joey Fookin Maxim only needed a body punch to take Ray out of the fight he was winning.

Lewis imploded twice.

Liston gave up when he couldn't catch Ali.


Foreman gave up when he got tired.

Jones folded when he couldn't get away.

Floyd shelled up whenever things got too rough. And that was the most orchestrated career ever.

Bowe was Bowe.


Being big and strong only works for so long.

It's a predator vs. prey thing. Do you ever hear of Zebras eating Lions?

Bro I never liked AJ, And felt he was ducking top competition...and for obvious reasons now.

Eddie Hearn tried to play games and that **** caught up with the both of em.
