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

[LetOutTheCage]

Why is Ruiz so reluctant to fight in the UK? he already beat Joshua once, fighting in the UK will also likely guarantee him a bigger purse given that he would have to travel.

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

Buster was having his way with Mike almost every minute of that fight. I'm assuming you wouldn't have put money on Buster winning the rematch......

He'd have to buy a multiple seat ticket

There's no taco bell in the UK?

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

You clearly have no clue how awful a style matchup Ruiz is for AJ. I was saying this before the fight, he was already a top 10 level guy, had the fastest hands in the division. He's a front foot counter puncher with pretty good power so AJ had to be extremely careful with this guy and he wasn't. AJ's not as skillful as Ruiz either, couldn't you see that?

The rematch will settle it. There won't be a need for a 3rd.

You’ve been ragging on Andy for months about his weight. That makes Joshua look so much worse though. Got out worked, out boxed and out cardio’d by someone who “needs two plane tickets”

Quit in his corner sucking wind. Asking “Why do I feel like this?”

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.

I would agree with that but AJ has a terrible chin and takes a few rounds to recover when he gets hurt. So once he is hurt he is potentially done if an opponent keeps on him

What *could* have happened is simply that AJ knocked Ruiz down and then got too close to him trying to finish him. Then once he was hurt - he was done, just because Ruiz kept on him.

What if AJ had boxed at range? Let Ruiz come to him? Walk him onto shots and then grab when Ruiz gets close. We don't know yet

I still see the rematch as 50/50

I've been an Andy Ruiz fan way before he beat AJ last month but if the rematch location and money agreement was already established when he signed the original contract then he needs to quit fuccing around and just sign the contract and agree to go to England.
I don't think Eddie is lying when he says that the contract Andy signed stipulates AJ gets to choose the rematch location. Only an idiot promoter wouldn't put that in writing in case his fighter loses,...
Eddie is a lying fuccing scumbag but he's no idiot!

... obviously... I only think that Ruiz is asking for more money as he crosses the Pond... (and Ruiz would be able to beat AJ even in Cardiff...)

Are you reinvesting that Andy beat AJ cash in the rematch ???
