Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz: I Know Joshua's Flaws, He's Not a Good Boxer

Joshua is done for good -- doesn't even matter if he wins the rematch...

You think Joshua will improve as much as he needs to in five months?

I just think he needs to fight a better fight tactically, same kind of fight he fought vs Povektin. Also he training was altered before this fight, which I disagreed with 'Eddie Hearn I believe a week out from the fight was speaking about all the changes within his camp'.

Some of these sport scientist, basically just over complicate things. I saw a segment on the build up documentary, showing one of his sports scientists 'Kind of restraining Joshua from training' I assumed that they attempted periodisation with Joshua training 'And probably over thought things due to the big stage'.

If Joshua is smart he will go back to what he was doing before, the same periodisation, and tampering.

I don't think anything to do with his physical fitness training was the problem - it was his actual boxing skill and technical know-how.
I don't think that will improve as much as it needs to in 5 months, regardless of how much fitter, faster, lighter etc he can get.
Time will tell though.

Ruiz has got this. AJ knows if he throws and misses he gets countered with a Ruiz storm.

Why ?

Don’t understand this logic ...

[puroylan]

Greedy Hearn ain't wasting any time & money. AJ should take 1 or 2 easier fights to get his wits and confidence back. Once Ruiz hit him clean again, he'll have flashbacks then he'll run.

Anthony Joshua has always been a limited boxer. It just took Andy Ruiz to expose those limitations. AJ is not the complete and well rounded fighter that most boxing fans believed he was.

Joshua is in trouble if he can't hurt Ruiz or knock him out because Andy is going to bum rush and blitz him with lots of fast punches and at very high pace. He's going to wear Anthony Joshua down again and stop him.

So Joshua is done Doc?

[thegonzo]

i cant believe that someone who defeated klitcschko, Parker Whyte and povetkin cant defeat Ruiz.

Joshua should not be defensive. He should use his heavy offense as a defense

He did. And he gassed out. Rematch will play out the same.

Joshua still has the best resume of all active hw-s.
