    I always knew Josh trained hard and dedicated that's why he was hard to beat.
    But not sure how smart he trained? Your only as good as your trainers I guess

      ... the term "smart" was invented back in 1981, and actually is an acronym (i.e. s.m.a.r.t)... boxing was invented sometime "earlier"...

        Yep. Vitali was a beast. He could really put it on someone. Usually just had to lean back to avoid punches. Wladimir never threw a body punch or an uppercut, and I don’t even know what to make of that. AJ needs to fight taller but I don’t think it’s who he is. He’s done well to get as far as he has.

          Vitali got both chins in the family. Wlad couldn't afford to throw an uppercut or a body punch or else he'd get Corrie Saunders'd

            If it’s in the UK the ref will take points away anytime Ruiz gets within arm’s reach.

              Exactly. I was hyping for Wlad. My mom was born in South Africa, and I like to support any fighter from Africa also. So it was conflicting. I’m glad Corrie slapped Vitali and got another big fight out of it. I wish he got in better shape but he still threw like hell. I’d love to see Wlads stats on body punching. He did well enough considering he was not skilled enough to throw half the inventory of punches. +12000 on Wlad losing a point on a low blow.
