Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua Will Decide Rematch Location - NOT Andy Ruiz

[EnglishOxide]

All these Americans getting their excuses in early when AJ knocks Ruiz Jr the f out in a rematch.

If AJ wins and continues to have a great career then in 5 years time nobody is going to give a crap about the rematch location.

He can still fight in the US afterwards if he wants to.

A fluke is a fluke and Andy beating AJ was a fluke.

If I were AJ, I'd fight him in America and prove not only was the 1st fight a fluke, but where a fight takes place doesn't really matter.

Apparently the ref is going to break them up like he did in the Joshua/Parker fight, or they would stop it once Joshua hits him once 😂.

Because precedent hasn’t been set on that?

You laugh and say “like the Joshua/Parker fight” like that wasn’t only a year ago.

Oh yeah.....And calling AJ getting knocked down ''slips'' and deducting points from Andy for pushing poor AJ to the canvas.....Oh, wait

That happens all the time, gvozdyk knocked Stevenson down and the crooked French Canadian ref called it a slip.

Oh wait, are you saying that andy’s Knockdowns on Joshua weren’t knockdowns? Come on man...

Joshua needs that TUE obviously.

And it don't matter what Eddie says. It never matters what Eddie says. Thats just like his opinion maaaaaaan.

It don't take a rocket surgeon to understand that Ruiz has leverage here since he gots the f#cking belts & he gots that W on his resume. Joshua needs those belts back & he needs to reverse that L he gots. There is certainly a contract, but I guaranf#ckingtee it doesn't cover EVERYTHING. Ruiz gots some angles he can work into either getting more money or his preferred location. Or f#ck it he can throw all those belts in the garbage & f#ck up the whole plan. Not saying he would, but thats a fun lil game of chicken they could be having behind the scenes. Or there might be less obvious angles to work here as I suspect. Either way Ruiz has some power & some leverage & as per usual Eddie is trying to command everyone into what he says is how things should go like he's got as much pull in the US or with US boxers like he does in the UK.

I know UK fans & Joshua fanboys don't wanna hear that, but this behind the scenes sh^t is probably more ruthless than a lot of the sh^t we see in the ring at times like this when a guy swipes the biggest belts in boxing.

Getting Knocked out can be a fluke. Quitting is never a fluke.

Getting Knocked out can be a fluke. Quitting is never a fluke.

A fluke is a fluke and Andy winning in any fashion is the definition of fluke.

AJ's loss wasn't a fluke. A fluke would be a lucky kO shot. AJ was outboxed and got dropped 4 times by a better boxer.

Andy drops all three belts in the trash and then what? Vacant fights with the top seeds?

Pulev vs Kabayel for the IBF (Joshua only ranked 6th)

Usyk vs Fury for the WBO (Joshua only ranked 4th)

Bryan vs Usyk for the WBA (Joshua only ranked 4th)

You’re right. That’s leverage I didn’t even think of

Andy dominated the entire fight. How is that a fluke?

EDIT - since you’re going to jump on me...Andy dominated the entire fight except for when he got knocked down, then he got up and dominated the rest.
