Yea Andy took AJ's power punches all the way to the Floor
GTFOH

Yeah but then he got up straight away and gave Joshua a brutal beating. GTFO.

You can’t train your head to take a punch . He may have better stamina in this fight but with a smaller frame I think the punches will affect him more. This is risky for him to stop lifting weights and go with a new look in such an important fight . I hate to say this but I had rotator cuff surgery and didn’t lift for months and I didn’t lose that much muscle , Aj has lost a lot of size and I just can’t help but think he was juicing .

He was blantantly juicing imo. To be fair though, boxing training does burn through muscle. It burns so many calories.
Were you doing intense boxing training, running, sparring etc when you had the injury? I'm guessing no.
Boxing training is totally different on your body than just lifting weights in the gym.
That's one of the reasons I thought he looked juiced. He had too much bulk for a boxer that had been training hard.

One thing is for sure, if Joshua wins he'll get no credit here, Andy Ruiz will become trash the moment the titles change hands. He wont have a fan in the world..

Joshua will only win if it's a blatant fix or robbery.
I'll still support Ruiz whatever happens, I know he'll put up a hell of a fight.

He couldn't have won the fights he did without a certain amount of skill. He should be watching Lennox vs Tua on a loop.

Joshua will NEVER be able to box like Lewis. Never. He's far too stiff, slow footed, predictable and doesn't have the ring IQ.
He never throws any unexpected shots like Lewis did.

Andy knows that AJ's power punches can put him on the deck. If comes out all guns blazing he will likely end up on the deck again. His game plan should be to wear AJ down gradually, looking for openings and capitalizing on them if/when they come.

Agree but what I'm trying t say is that Andy knows that he has the ability to bounce back if he somehow gets hurt or kd by AJ. Andy is more stronger mentally now and he knows that he has AJ's number.

What this really means is that he will punch then clinch and hold all night!
they put Same ref that does grabamir Clinchko fights and lets em hold ALL FiGHT! Mark my words,joshua will TRY to punch and then hold ruiz and stay clinched so that andy doesn't get his short shots off in Close quarters. And make sure of this they took the fight to Sadia Arabia with NO DRUG TEST and same ref that klitchko has had numerous times that lets him hold.

Aj has been kod in sparring for this fight he’s got nothing for Ruiz

Aj's overly sensitive, overly feminine gay fans just got wet in their asses from this quote.

Wlad's grabbing, holding, and leaning was ****ing criminal.

That shltshow was the reason I didn't watch heavyweight boxing for half a decade.

First of all I don't know how they allowed it. Second of all, it made heavyweight boxing unwatchable.

Andy got up after being decked by AJ, which means he knows he can take AJ's best punches and doesn't need to worry about getting tagged.

AJ also got up after being decked, but he did it 4 times, which means he knows he can take Andy's best shots even better than Andy can take his.

Bscene logic.

LOL, i get what you are saying. But Ruiz looked OK when he got up and even took an even better looking shot before he went on to brutalise Joshua.

Every time Joshua got up, he looked out of it, legs gone, out of breath and not fighting back. There was a massive difference to the outcome of the KD's, and if i was a Joshua fan this would worry me the most, every time Ruiz landed, it did damage.

Unless Joshua ends this early which i doubt happens but at HW this is always a possibility, Ruiz will break him down round by round and a similar outcome to the first happens, Ruiz might get a cleaner T/KO this time but ether way he wins by stoppage.
