Alicia sing, "Concrete Jungle where dreams are made of, there's nothing you can't do..." Salud Andy Ruiz!

The rematch (if there is one) will be in the UK. We all know what that means. Ruiz will be at a disadvantage as the referee and the judges will do their part to help Joshua regain the belts. I suppose I'm a cynic but in boxing it's not always the best man than wins.

HW division has differemt rules bruhh. There the king kongs... And yes andy ruiz will be a name for a couple of years

Huh?

Ruiz is a name as of Saturday for as long as people remember boxing & look back on its history. This was a big upset.

He ain't no star doe.

Big difference between name recognition & being a star.

Stop it, he never ducked anyone.

No YOU stop it cuz he ASKED for the DUCKED 50 million.

Big ups to Ruiz!

Also let's not overlook the fact that Andy could very well be the stronger (I mean overall physical strength) man than Joshua. Yes, bodybuilder physique AJ looks stronger than Andy Ruiz; however, over the decades I have known some guys with less than average looking builds (yes, even obese builds) that were tremendously strong as well as coordinated too. And from what I saw in the ring Saturday night, AJ was not the stronger fighter; he could not control Andy (and I don't mean the trouble he faced because of Andy's quicker hands, ability to slip punches, and superior footwork). AJ wanted to wrap up Andy to stop the hurt; however, he was not physically able to so, and I will not be surprised to find out that Andy - from childhood - has always been very, very strong.

Not a cynic. An experienced realist. Or is that the same thing?
