And he's 2X unified world HW champ come Dec 7.
People like 5000boxing will go hiding.

When Cherry picking goes wrong! Lmao. After the first Ruiz fight.. There where no AJ fans on this site.. It was beautiful and quiet for weeks. Now they are back.. Revived and ready to be silenced again!! Lmao!

Yes indeed it was. It was so quiet, you could hear a mouse fart in church!

It was a shot on the side of the head. As long as Joshua doesn't do anything ****** he shouldn't be in range for T-Rex arms Ruiz to do it again.

And people talking like Ruiz is some kind of big hitter. His ko ratio is 66% against some pretty ordinary fighters. Including quite a few common opponents of AJ.

I reckon Joshua's chin and Ruiz' concussive power is being slightly overplayed here.

I think it will come down to Ruiz' chin and AJ's patience/ring IQ.

AJ just doesn’t take a good shot anyway, i don’t think it’s gonna make any difference if he loses 10lbs or gains 10lbs. It’s just how he is.

The problem is that he can’t recover from a shot quick enough. Whyte clipped him with a left hook and his legs went stiff for about 2 rounds. Wlad put him down and his legs went for a few rounds. He never recovered from the first Ruiz knockdown.

The difference is Ruiz was composed and could finish the job. Wlad couldn’t pull the trigger anymore and i think Whyte was inexperienced and couldn’t compose himself to do it.

" The World is rooting for AJ aside from the SCUM " ?
I think you might've meant " the Deplorables " Hillary.

Your last point may be right. AJ doesn't have particularly good ring IQ and couldn't deal with Ruiz firing back straight away and punching with him, he had never experienced that before. He's too used to running through people, and commits with everything all the time which is exactly what Ruiz wants.

AJ will try to box at range but he'll be made to fight at close range, it might just take longer. When it does get close, it will be how he reacts in those situations that will determine the fight.

Am still shocked that some people are shocked that Joshua got stopped by Ruiz.

Less muscle on that meathead means less padding on A.J's pea-brain. Josh likes to hold and punch, especially off the left-hook that he uses to hold his opponents head in place for the uppercut ; Andy is schooled in that and will likely clobber A.J, beating him at his own game.

The weight loss is only good for endurance, Josh is going to run like a chicken.

That fool is scared.. Of course he's going to run! But get this.. AJ is playing catch up.. Ruiz is sharpening his tools.. Building endurance too.. I wouldn't be surprised if Ruiz stops AJ in the first round! Just like u said.. AJ got no padding on that pea-brain.. Soon as it gets touched.. It will shut that skinny i-robot down! Lmao.
