Was Joshua Ruiz 1 a fixed fight?

If so AJ needs to retire from boxing & get into acting.

[Citizen Koba]

When you really think about it, it could have been a fixed fight.

Andy Ruiz causing big upset for bettors to pocket loads of money, and the potential to set up a 2nd fight and pocket even more.

As we all know, or at least avid sports fans know (not the casuals on NSB) sports are rigged and fixed more times than we’d like to believe.

What is your take?

I believe if Joshua wins quite easily, then it’s possible it was.

And remember, it doesn’t take both parties to be in on a fix, for there to be one.

I don't think there was a fix, but if I was going down that path you need to think grandiose, man. I'd be running with a theory that's something to do with the DAZN penetration of the US market and looking at who benefited and lost long term from the outcome rather than necessarily looking at a short term cash grab theory. Although boxing's only a small part of the sports programming industry DAZN kinda made it a schwerpunkt in the battle for the market share of the nascent sports streaming industry which overall could be worth tens of $ billions annually in coming years. Not much some folk wouldn't do to protect their interests in that kinda pie I'd think.

Andy fixed Anthony's wagon.

A joint forces CIA and CJNG spec ops team abseiled in and spiked Anthony's water with LSD before the fight to guarantee the future and glory of Mex-American boxing against the Old World illuminati threat, man. Everyone knows this.

Ah, okay, man. Thanks. I'm sorry. I'm a little slow sometimes.

[HandsofIron]

Hell no, Joshua took a shot right on the temple, you can't fake that ish.

I don’t give a flying F about Joshua or Wilder or Fury.
I’m a skeptic who reads between the lines.

What happened to Spence tho?
Porter almost sent that boy in a wheelchair.
Then he tried being speed racer and now he’s damaged goods.

Why would Joshua box if he could act that well?

More money in corruption period than ANYTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD, you young naive kiddo.

[ShaneMosleySr]

So Joshua is a trained stage actor as well as a boxer?
