Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz Tells Anthony Joshua To His Face That He "Quit"

[Ray*]

What else is he going to do? Surely you realise that boxers just put up a front when in the limelight!? He isn't going to blame it on the fact that Ruiz smashed him 4 times.

Regardless, Ruiz will beat Joshua again. And I am a Joshua fan over all other HW's. Joshua's style is easy work for Ruiz.

UNLESS, this was all a marketing fix and Joshua wins via a similar scenario to the Parker or Takam fight.

For Joshua to be truly credited with a decisive victory, Ruiz needs to be put to sleep. A points victory will only ever be seen as Joshua ran around the ring because of the fickle nature of boxing fans.

You are absolutely spot on, AJ can't just turn up and hope to "Box" himself to a UD win. Unless he actually does that without any controversy, he simply need to smash Ruiz, which is going to work in Ruiz's favour and put AJ more in harms way.

The margins of error are so small in boxing. I can see a lot of people asking the question 'Where does Anthony Joshua go if he loses this fight again?'.

Boxing seems to be the only sport where a loss, in some people's eyes makes you obsolete 'Very strange culture'.

Well Andy Ruiz Junior is not playing the nice guy in this match up anymore, insinuating that a opponent quit is quite a serious accusation.

It's all part of the mental edge. Ruiz has that and he has to use that to rattle AJ ahead of this rematch. If AJ is an emotional person then he would take the bait, AJ was quite emotional in the Whyte fight and nearly paid for it, has he learn from that fight? we shall see.

He looked like a man wanting out of the fight. Yes some guys spit out the gumshield to get a little more time but I remember him peeling off his tape & showing the ref so he could get a break. I think the rematch is 50/50 but Joshua needs to take him out asap. If he gets dropped early By Ruiz I’m not so sure he will be able to get back into the fight. I could be wrong but does Joshua really want it badly enough? The guy has a lot of money. Is he as mentally prepared as he is physically? That is the big question to me. He could retire tomorrow with no financially worries. He is in a financial position that most boxers can only dream of...

Ahahahaha.

Very obviously Joshua no mased this fight to Ruiz, it was an obvious fix just like Duran vs Leonard 2.

I can't believe some people are even backing Joshua up in this case. I'm not saying Ruiz will win the rematch either..... But how the hell can you back up the shyt Joshua is saying.

'The only reason I didn’t walk out of the corner in the seventh round was because my gum-shield was not in and I was waiting for the referee to put it in my mouth but he waved it off.'

Sure Joshua, that's the reason why you loss the fight.......

What a pvssy response. You spit your mouth piece out and turned your back on the referee.

Maybe I should mention how you were knocked down 4 times in the fight, and you even asked your corner men, 'what did he hit me with?' in between rounds...

Ruiz will be badly hurt

[inFi]

even if he loses again joshua will still make 5-6 times more than any other heavyweight!
ruiz can be happy that aj set him for life with these 2 paydays but joshua can keep making 50-100 million even if he keeps on losing for another 2-3 times.
so who won in life?
