Comments Thread For: Joshua: Ruiz Will Face 'Completely Different Beast' In Rematch

[Bronx2245]

Yes I just feel like Andy Ruiz Junior should just build upon his last two training camps, and not be influenced by the media.

'Whatever he has been doing, he has just got to keep doing it' Yes I can imagine he would still be very functional at 250-260 pounds'

Very intriguing fight. 'I think Joshua will win the rematch, it is not going to be easy'

Joshua needs muscle stamina, and not just power! He needs to be prepared to throw 1,000 high quality punches, while keeping a tight guard! His mentality has to be "win every round convincingly!"

Sure. Go watch the lance Armstrong documentary. That will tell you everything you need to know about professional sport and drugs, and beating testers.

Judge : Ok please show your evidence that Anthony Joshua is taking PEDs.

Jkp : Please sit down and watch this Lance Armstrong documentary. It shows that almost all professional cyclists were taking drugs.

Judge: Leave and don't waste the court's time again.

Hope so, ain't Ruiz I been saying will get KTFO. It's too bad he got KTFO against a lesser, but, I still want Wilder-Joshua for all the belts. Get them back ya limey prick.

Victor Conte does a lot of interviews and has an accurate view of the PEDs industry.

Here he explains why AJ only does Vada testing a few weeks before each fight.

Yes but then you need to show evidence that AJ does only have testing in a few weeks before each fight, not just take Conte's word for it

This is what Joshua's camp said before the Parker fight. Prove them wrong.

“We are also with UKAD, through the BBBof C and that’s 365 days a year, random whereabouts testing.

“The last three or four fights we have been tested eight times in camp by UKAD and WADA over a 12-week period.

“We are also on 365 days a year WADA testing for the WBA. People ask ‘why is he not on the WBC (testing programme) but he is not a WBC fighter.

“The WBA now have 365 days testing and he pays for additional for random testing and the UKAD.

I don't see why people think Joshua is on PEDS. He doesn't act or even fight like a fighter on PEDs. He gases fast.

The only thing he has is an amazing physique which could be natural or it have been got years before from steroids. Once you get the extra muscle nucleii from steroids - they don't go. The physique is no proof of anything - as Whyte, Miller and Fury should highlight for you.

Hes the most obvious drug cheat in world sport.

But maybe he just has good genes, and inherited that unnaturally ripped physique from his obese parents.

Please describe how a fighter on PEDS "acts" and how they "fight" ?

Drugs are rampant in the sport. Even guys like Whyte and miller who dont look like bodybuilders are on the gear. Of course AJ is on the gear.

Steroid size does go away, and goes away faster than natural. “Easy come, easy go” is the old saying. Go check out all those pro wrestlers from the 80’s. Lex Luger looks like he weighs 90lbs now. Mind you, he had a stroke but still...

And gassing out is exactly how I’d expect a boxer who took muscle enhancing PED’s to act. Muscle doesn’t breathe, and it’s heavy as ****. Joshua bulked up after the Olympics like a movie boxer would look. There’s a reason real pro boxers don’t look like Joshua though.

After watching the fight numerous times, I'm not sure why people are drawing big conclusions either way, because it seems obvious to me that after Joshua was tagged in the third round he had no idea what was going on. Just look at the way Joshua reacted to the second knockdown in the seventh, he wasn't able to respond to simple commands, and look at his interviews, he's completely vacant.

The big mistake that Joshua made was thinking that he had badly hurt Ruiz when he knocked him down, and then he decided to put on a show by opening up and go for the big finish.

Looking at the replays, Ruiz was knocked down because he was caught with his legs square, so he was completely composed when he got back up and was able to catch Joshua with an unbelievably clean shot. I'm not sure of how many boxers can take a clean counter on the temple from a 19 stone heavyweight.

I strongly believe that the ref should have stepped in at the end the fight at the end of the third round, because after the second knockdown then it was obvious Joshua was heavily concussed. I think that Joshua was actually very lucky not to receive a potentially career ending beating, because it seems to me that at times he had no idea about the situation he was in.

So the question is - was this a symptom of bigger boxing issues with Joshua or was he clipped by a lucky punch?

The truth is, irrespective of the strong opinions on both sides of the argument, nobody will know until they have their rematch.
