Comments Thread For: Haye Not Sure if Joshua Had Proper Sparring For Andy Ruiz

[hugh grant]

You ought to be ashamed of yourself if English is your first language.

It is believe it or not. Did I say something wrong or is it the spellcheck?

Haye was spot on about the amateur experience of Ruiz. Pedigree is what it is. Though Joshua from a good pedigree too. I said this to my friend some years ago that Joshua kinda has a chin like Khan. Sounds crazy but now is early “Khan chin” years for Joshua but down the road I see a lot of KDs and KOs on Joshua. He gets rocked almost every fight. I know everybody gets rocked but he always looks like its a chance to KD him.

"Close bout with Joshua"

Cumon man. **** stoppage but in no way close. Also hate everyone saying about Joshuas' chin. It's actually very good IMO

It's just me being an asshat if I'm honest. Although the "ha ye" and "met match" parts are hilarious to read.

AJ needed somebody to knock him down a few times, so he could practice getting up.

Haye paid Wilder to spar him. Haye is goat. Would love to have seen him beat Usyk and Joshua

Hmmm, not a bad comment from Haye, I was expecting some other self serving WACK EXCUSES to cover for his fellow countrymans loss. His comment was pretty insightful. I also contribute the loss to Joshua not having sparring partners remotely close to Ruiz style & height in camp. Joshua had some unexpected troubles with Takam because he was preparing for Pulev with both camps having just 12 days notice to prepare for each others styles,

A full "camp" is important for many reasons and calling out Ortiz on such short notice and especially Takam with the 12 days - not knowing if their team was fully ready/committed conditioning wise - was advantageous. Ruiz, they thought, had to be at the buffet 24/7 after winning against Dimitrenko, "theyres no way this guy (looking like that) could be that committed during the off season."

Ruiz couldve been in mexico on the beach, vacationing enjoying his win - saying "yes" to Hearn simply for the payday. Hearns ploy backfired & came full circle when they decided on sticking with Snicker Man. When Team-Hearn saw the excess "fat" on Ruizs frame, they were like, "yes! he's bloody perfect, he can box, we'll pick this chap, he's only lost once, and should gas out in 4/5 rnds against Joshuas fast pace and power!"

None of the heavyweight have top level durability 'None of the big 3 anyway'. But Johsua's punch resistance is good enough. 'If he gets knocked down, he gets back up' that is always a good sign.

Fury has been knocked down and hurt routinely throughout his career, by none punching cruiser weights like Steve 'USS' Cunningham also. Wilder also get hurts all the time also, but he is game they are all very game fighters when the going gets tough. 'This is what Max Kellermen was referring to, when he was speaking here'.

People are unnerved by Joshua's reaction to his loss, the rematch will be won and lost in preparation. Is Ruiz Junior going to fold to the pressure of media, who keep speaking about his conditioning? Is he going to be duped and worry about his weight? If he does he will prepare incorrectly. 'Joshua needs to fight like he did vs Povetkin'.

Great fight, this is a exciting new Chapter in Anthony Joshua's career and saga in the heavyweight division.
