[Tecnoworld]

He looks like 20 yo

[Death_Adder]

He looks worse than how De la Hoya looked in the Pacquiao fight.

[The plunger man]

Looks fantastic , added speed to his punches and quicker on his feet and improved stamina.
I think Joshua is gonna put a beating on Ruiz Saturday

So what happens to so called “british boxing” if he loses?

Losing the weight might slightly decrease his punch resistance but not being exhausted should increase it, probably more than making up for the loss.

He was probably heavy on those protein powder shakes..... I've had gym friends that use it and whenever they stop they slim down quite drastically in short space of time.

It's a valid question if his punch resistance will be affected though, does bulking up make you take a better punch?

I have taken protein powders off an on and I don't lose any weight, but my calories almost remain the same and that is the most important thing for weight lose/gain. As far as bulking up goes, will it help him take a better punch? I am not sure but being lighter I think Ruiz will be able to apply pressure more easily.When Aj was bigger it was hard to bully him around the ring. Aj had a lot of success at the weight he had been fighting at so other than stamina ( but lets not forget he ko`d klit in the 11th so he had some stamina ) and maybe having more speed , that should help him but his weight lose seems dramatic will he be able to handle the pressure ? Lets not forget it has been a long time since Aj has fought this light so it will be a new experience for him.

It's already the Walking dead out in the UK. We will find out in 5 days. Will Hearn be on Suicide Watch if Mr Thin gets smashed?
