Would Andy Ruiz's illegal punches be allowed in Saudi Arabia?

[BangEM]

That might be true but it's up to Joshua not to give him those targets . In order for short Ruiz to do that AJ would have to really lean over , if it's there Ruiz or any fighter will take it. I highlighted doubt you'll see many shots landed or flurries on Joshua in this one so A side better hit anything he can.

Yes, he has to fight tall.

But Ruiz is going to be fixated on targeting the back of his head with illegal punches like he did in the first fight whenever he's on the inside and it's the responsibility of the ref to do the right thing because they're illegal punches.

In boxing, you're not allowed to punch at the back of the head and below the belt. Those are illegal punches.

Good thing Ruiz landed a bunch of punches on Joshua’s face too. I wouldn’t want his knockout win to be controversial.

Ruiz is getting knocked out cold.

Only the casuals like AJ in the UK. The rest of us know he's a drug cheat fraud

It wouldn’t surprise me because he isn’t very good. But it’s hard to make a pick because Joshua isn’t very good either.

Id have to watch the fight again as I wasn't looking directly at how Andy was hitting behind the head ,but if AJ is turning his head or looking down the opposing fighter is allowed to hit the target presented. Its illegal going around the opponents head intentionally, maybe he took a page from Wilder ?

[True That]

would his moobs be allowed? Surely they would have to be covered up.

........lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is an illegal punch:



And the other popular gif of the 7th rd where AJ's spirit left his body and boarded the BA flight is also an illegal punch.

Probably he would have that hand chopped off.

Not really. The trajectory of that punch would have hit Joshua on the side of the face had he not at the last instant turned his head and pitched forward. As it was it still did NOT hit Joshua on the back of his head.
