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

[BangEM]

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

The Josh that fought Ruiz isn’t the real Josh. The fight doesn’t count.

Unfortunately it does. It counted so much that AJ lost his 0 and Ruiz gained some belts. That's how much it counted believe it or not, Ruiz might have used his personal favourite PED too. Snickers

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.

He’s going to beat him like a thief in the rematch. Nothing about Ruiz’s skills are scary since he’s slow on his feet.

Lol, it was a fluke.

Aj should take this rematch and he has

Lol, it’s about Povetkin gassing out from the 4th rd now. But when Josh looked lethargic before the fight and already gassed out before entering the ring on Saturday, it’s because he’s an overrated flawed boxer. You lot need to make your minds up.

Ruiz also gassed out in 4th rd and he was breathing heavily. And there were moments when he put his hands down to get some rest because he was tired during the fight, lol. Trust me, if Josh wasn’t badly hurt, he would’ve destroyed him.

Stamina has always been pedvetkin issues which was why he was using the meldonium, he was up on all scorecards until finally not being able to avoid aj robotic shots, Ruiz put his hands down to tell Joshua to come on and fight instead of backpedaling and I’m not even going get into aj destroying him he haven’t destroyed any of his opponents to have you make a asinine statement like that

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

In this instance yes. The referee judged that Joshua wasn't willing to continue.

We will see. To me it mostly depends on Joshua's psychological state of mind. His mental state looked bad in the last fight and if that hasn't changed he will lose again.

Price has some valid points. A second straight defeat in the rematch could be devastating to Joshua’s psych but I won’t compare what happened to Price with Joshua’s situation. Joshua has already fought at the top level for a number of years. He has wins over Klitschko, Povetkin, Parker, Takam, Martin, Breazeale, Molina & Whyte. Price went from beating journeymen to fighting a top 10 HW at the time. He simply wasn’t ready. He should not have taken the rematch. He should have built himself back up fighting a few more durable journeymen than moved on to top 20-30 HWs. He was rushed by Frank Maloney...

Price is speaking a lot of truth here. I wouldn't fight Ruiz again so soon either until Joshua can correct his mistakes, reevaluate his career and come back even better and stronger than before.
