Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua Sparring With Small, Chubby, Fast Hands Boxers

[_Rexy_]

For those saying Andy has AJ number! How in the HELL can you say that after they fought ONCE! I mean y'all want to see that man lose that bad.... Emotional Humans I tell ya!

the man did lose that bad.


And we say that he has Joshuas number because styles make fights, and Ruiz's style is cancer to AJ.

Or you just hate the man that much!

Nothing to do with hate everything to do with sparring a fast hand chubby boxer will not prepare him for Ruiz point blank period..... He already lost the fight mentally if he think that’s his key to winning

I understand sparring with shorter quicker guys but why do they have to be chubby??
Is this to gauge how much room he has in the ring or whether his own weight will be enough for a chubby Heavyweight??
I just can't understand why they need to be chubby maybe it's a sight focus sort of thing.
If anyone can let me know would be appreciated.

This made me lol.

The Pillsbury Dough Boy, Butterbean,
The Michelin Man are all AJ'S sparring partners.

joshua, can whip big dudes, easy. but there are some guys, with very fast hands, who are not afraid to throw hands..

Right now AJs team doesn't know it's ass from a ham sandwich. Ruiz exposed AJ'S weaknesses, such as no head movement, no lateral movement, no ability to improvise or deal with adversity under pressure. This was the first time someone who was not at the end of the road took it to him. They might try to work on the head and foot movement, but he will revert after a few rounds. Very surprised such a successful amateur with so many flaws.

Eddies not foolin' anyone! He's invested in another smaller robot thats padded with a thick layer of punch absorbing gel! It'll never tire, giving AJ uninterupted sparring sessions. Eddies a genius!!

Joshua is very skillfully marketed by Hearn as some kind of master boxer.

The actual truth is that most of his opponents are handpicked to make him look good against.

He is actually pretty limited in terms of dealing with smaller guys with good fundamental skills.

Parker and even Takam frustrated the Nigerian Bodybulider, Ruiz was just too much for him to handle.

I am glad Ricky Hatton is still getting work.
