Comments Thread For: Ruiz Knew He Could Beat Joshua After Eating a Flush Right Hand

[CasperUK]

Ruiz has had his Buster Douglas moment. In 2020 he will be a footnote in boxing history. Wilder will probably knock him out or Fury will toy with him.

Aj has never been a one punch h ko artist, he has clubbing power and his muscle mass accounts for his strength in boxing. One wonders how his punch will be effected with the loss of mass and fighting more on the back foot

If he keeps eating punches like that he's gonna need to be fed before he's old. Can you say Jerry Quarry?

I’ve been thinking that very same thought. If Joshua can’t hurt Ruiz and he can’t jab and move for more than a couple rounds before tiring, how is he going to beat him. That big right hand has won more than a few fights for Joshua. That same punch that Ruiz walked through absolutely ruined Whyte and Povetkin, among others.

This is what I'm most worried about for Joshua

Ruiz might come out this time and jus steamroll his skinny ass!

I fail to see in the article where he actually says what the title claims.

The article says he knew he was in the game after he knocked Joshua down (well, duh) and that he was telling everyone even before the fight he was going to win.

Rather than saying he knew he could win after he ate the flush right, he actually says it was a shot that could have knocked out anyone. I don't think being flattened made him think he could win. It was knocking Joshua down straight after that turned everything on its head, which is what Ruiz actually says.

I have a feeling Ruiz will hurt AJ and AJ will box in "survival mode", trying to go all 12, similar to Parker. Whether or not the judges award him the fight, remains to be seen.

I like Andy. Didn’t surprise me he won the first fight. But I’m leaning towards AJ in the rematch. Ruiz is talking a lot of smack, which is fine to hype up a fight, but I get the feeling he believes his own hype...and that’s dangerous.

[Jim Tom]

He outclassed AJ in first fight so....no.

Nothing new under the sun. Everyone can have an off day for whatever reason including sickness which is never mentioned because cancelling fights leaves people out of pocket. We will see if he can repeat the same thing first. For all we know this could be Hasim vs Lewis 2.

Again, totally wrong comparison . Rahman just had a lucky punch.
