Comments Thread For: David Price: Massive Risk For Joshua To Face Ruiz in Fall Rematch

[pollywog]

The fight is on YouTube, just watch it again. Ruiz didn’t do anything special, he was just slapping flurries around.

I believe he’ll knock him out. His punches are gonna have more sting and Ruiz also has bad cardio. So if he keeps coming forward and throwing a flurry of punches, he would be tired by the 5th rd. Josh just need to fight behind his jab and move like he did against Parker. Then use the uppercut at least twice in every rd whenever Ruiz comes forward and leaves himself open.

Bollocks mate!

Amazing Ruiz was considered c grade prior to this fight. UK idiot's didn't even have him as one of parker's best wins.

Even with the flaws he has, he’d beat Ruiz like a thief comfortably.

After watching it again several times, Ruiz just doesn’t have the power and he slaps most of time. He couldn’t even inflict any serious damage to knock a drunken Josh out cold and his face looked like he didn’t get hit with anything after the fight.

Josh just wasn’t fit. If he’s fit in the rematch, he will spark Ruiz out cold.

You're right, Ruiz is not a one shot knockout artist like AJ or Deontay Wilder. However what Ruiz did to AJ was very impressive. He used his speed and technical skills to give AJ a methodical beatdown. The beating AJ took was much worse than being knocked out with a single punch. This is why AJ better knockout Ruiz early in the rematch because if he doesn't Ruiz will administer a beating to Joshua that will result in a tko.

When was the last time he knocked anyone out apart from his last two fights?

Hands of stone, yet he couldn’t burst the drunken Josh’s face up with all the punches he was throwing.

Josh was already hurt, he just exacerbated it.

Ruiz hits hard but is not a power puncher. Because of his hand speed and technical ability he lands a lot of precise punches that tend to beat his opponent up. A good example of someone similar is the Former Super Middleweight Champion Joe Calzaghe. He was much more of a slapper than Ruiz but he was also one of the best fighters I've seen. Joe and his slapping punches pretty much ended Jeff Lacy's career.

I have been extremely impressed at how Joshua has reacted to his loss to Ruiz, especially as the days go by 'His video uploads, talks of him wanting the rematch in america, videos of him? stating that he is pissed, but trying to enjoy new york' I could not help but be impressed.

I don't quite think Joshua has reacted the same way David Price did at-least not externally, who knows what is going on inside? Is Joshua that good of actor, we don't know.

I think because Joshua has already beaten plenty elite fighters, many times fought in-front of football stadiums, and won the Olympic Gold medal 'Internally he is already on a different level to Price'.

But David Price has done well to carry on fighting.

AJ is the black David price.

Except not even David price can get knocked down 4 times, before giving up in the corner.

Is still considered a TKO if opponent just gives up in the corner?

Ruiz has Joshua's number and it will be the same result.

Rematch and retirement for the loser with big pay day!?

Kiwi robbers did it to A.Ruiz and Aussie robbers did it to Pacman down under mates.

He's actually got a pretty good K.O rate, 22 K.O from 33, that now includes your boy AJ. Whom he said if the fight didn't stop he could feel a vicious K.O coming because AJ was barely on his feet. Watch the last round again, he was pushing AJ around so I could believe that
