Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Exercises Rematch Clause For Andy Ruiz Sequel

[Sid-Knee]

I dont think Haymon of Wilder are worried. Either Ruiz fights Wilder or Wilder makes AJs chin explode when they fight.

AJ was losing to Parker before the Ref jumped in a saved his ass. I said this well before the Ruiz fight. Dubois has always been the UKs best hope in Hwy.

Dubois dropped AJ in sparring and would have no problem doing it again.

Nobody with a boxing brain was ever scared of anything AJ had except his power. Until AJ learns how to box he will continue to kiss the canvas.

AJ needs Jonathan Banks on speed dial. If he cant get Banks then he needs Tony Harrison to train him seeing the he has his own gym now.
If Joshua values his health he will listen to Lennox Lewis and not Eddie Hearn.

At no point was AJ losing to Parker. It was one sided with Parker happy to disengage and go the full 12 without getting hurt.

Whyte, Fury, Wilder and Ortiz were very much scared of what AJ had. You don't turn down that kind of money and fight for much much less if you're confident.

AJ has only been down against Wladimir. So your comments about him needing to learn how to box otherwise he'll continue to kiss canvas is someone who ironically needs to learn about boxing.

It’s interesting.....Wilder announces his fights on his own....in terms of Joshua, Hearn announces his fights and the direction of his career. That aspect is not lost on me. I wish joshua would take control of his career and clean out his whole current team

Wilder's team set the fights up and let him be the one announcing the fight. Nothing more. AJ just lets Hearn do his job.

Could you imagine Wilder trying to do business? Dude can't even speak properly he's that f3cking dumb. You know more about being reasonable than Wilder does business. That's how dumb he is.

Clearly, Joshua has a lot of work to do before he gets in the ring with anybody like Wilder.

Will be a really big fight. I have Joshua boxing to a decision win in the UK.

1/20 odds that it will be hosted in UK... come on man. We have majority of the fan base in the states. Especially with a American/Mexican fighting for his belts. LA, Vegas or Dallas next.

[mathed]

All going as planned. Rematch in the UK, AJ gets his belts back and then the grudge match is scheduled. After that, all eyes on Fury after he beats bumsquad.

[CanGGG]

another easy win for Ruiz, AJ cant adopt the jab right hug from klot so he will get destroyed again.. because

styles make fights

Whyte, Parker, and Povetkin all had AJ stunned. Wlad AND Ruiz have put him down 5 times. AJ is taking way to much damage from these fights and he hasnt even fought Ortiz, Fury, or Wilder who were all ranked higher than Ruiz prior to June 1st.

No one is ducking AJ. Fighters dont want to be on an app like DAZN that does little to promote their brand away from boxing. Eddie and Skipper want three fight deals in a very volatile sport. Skipper needs to understand he's not at ESPN anymore and his words doesnt carry the weight it once did. Fighters are going to let some johnny come lately like Hearn with a bogus stable of fighters and only one big name control their careers.

Plus this joker Hearn loves to have fights in the UK where he can have crooked refs and judges fix fights. U beg to differ about Parker. AJ had a lot of help from the ref and Parker gave up once he saw the ref wasnt going to let AJ be engaged inside.If AJ was the fighter you thought he was then they dont protect him vs Parker. His team just underestimated Ruiz and didnt protect him despite possibly being injured prior to the fight.

Being one ESPN, Fox, or CBS come with the perks of advertising dollars which is money away from boxing. If no one sees your fights then you cant be popular and your only stream of income is strickly boxing.

AJ made big money in the UK because he made his name on Sky Boxing and not the DAZN app. People know AJ from British TV and not the internet. DAZN is just a way to capitalize on his popularity not make him more popular.

Wilder and his team are betting on the fact that they know big fights can generate 150-300 mil depending on the venue and the fighters.

Fury vs Wilder 2 is going to be promoted across a lot of platforms so that will be the litmus test for the next age in Hwy boxing.

Either way (AJ sucks or hurt) this fight not was nit good look for Team AJ. Hearn is gonna try to ramrod a rematch because HE believes AJ should have won easily. Hearn who has NEVER boxed is going to play boxing expert and not even look at the tape or see if any changes are needed after a brutal beating where his fighter got his knees dirty 4 times and looked like he rather be back in Miami with the pretty Latin girls than the Latin beast who almost scrambled his brains like the eggs on Ruiz plate at IHOP the morning of the fight.

AJ still has a lot of potential but if he's going the let Hearn waste it away while getting hurt then thats his choice. If he get hurt by Ruiz again then his career is trashed and he goes on the back burner while the other guys go for the glory. Taking one fight b4 Ruiz to retrain wont kill his career and make give him the time to catch up on his defensive skills.

Andy Ruiz for another stoppage win unless Joshua learn to box like Ali to cruise for easy decision win...

[andocom]

Never ceases to amaze me how little so called fans know. Purse bid on a rematch clause.

I know right, some absolutely bizzare stuff gets posted on here

[MDPopescu]

I have found that unless someone has been in a situation where traumatic forces gained a foothold, it is hard to imagine what happens when someone takes a bona fide beating. It is not just an athletic event but something that can imprint and cause all kinds of trauma. Recognizing when this occurs is also something that takes a bit of understanding.

Ward and Gatti: very physical series, a lot of blood and pain but not traumatic inducing for either guy... Lennox Lewis getting sparked out twice, embarrasing but again, not really a traumatic event.

Left Hook Lacy against Calzaghe....traumatic and career ending fight. Whatever Lacy needed to do to improve was never going to get him past that fight. Joshua sustained a lot of emotional, physical trauma. I hope he can find a response to this but it was a real beating and it was sad because I don;t think even the best intentioned trainer could forsee the developments that happened when Joshua fell off the reservation.

Green K sent...
