ANDY RUIZ JR started boxing at the age of seven...

[YoungManRumble]

They had a 22ft ring in the first fight too. I was simply making a counter to you suggesting Ruiz is a better boxer. I outlined their histories as to why that simply isn't the case, or at the very least they've learned an equal amount. I would also agree AJ needs to improve his head movement, it's almost non existent..but did you see Ruiz eating how many jabs?

We read so many comments of "you can't learn to box in 6 months" Even Ruiz himself said AJ can't box. Clearly he can and that's the point I was making.

Was the ring really 22 feet in the first fight? Can't find information anywhere. Looked smaller like 18-20 to me.

... OK,,, According to The Guardian:

"Eddie Hearn ensured Joshua had every advantage, from the 22ft ring size (up from 18ft in June)."

Oh perfect thanks. I didn't think you were lying or anything just thought you might be mistaken. Takes a good man to link proof of him being incorrect.

... I only listened to the DAZN commentary on Saturday... and the Internets aren't that huge, in case you use Google...

Yeah I somehow missed that article and was only finding stuff about the ring size for the rematch. Of course now when I google it, it stands out like a sore thumb....

I don’t know about Ruiz anymore. His feet are just so slow. He could lose some flab but his feet are never gonna quicken up.

He only has a bit of punchers chance against AJ fighting like that. Catching him high if AJ exits in a straight line after throwing a shot.

Retrospectively I’d
be more inclined just to blame AJ for losing his shape and hooking inside with a hooker with short arms which ended with him getting smashed on the temple. I think I credited AJ with recovering from that shot at the time but he clearly didn’t. And Ruiz beat the s.hit out of him.

I always like the question who would you rather be in the fight? You’re never picking Ruiz are you. No matter if you think some of what he does is more nuanced. He was comprehensively outboxed by a man that would beat Ruiz at anything but eating.

... Sparked_26, dear (it has nothing to do with Ruiz): after the 3rd round (in the first fight) I said here that "AJ is done" as a very top leve fighterl... And it wasn't about Ruiz's performance... I only noticed how poor AJ's upper body and head movement actually is!... and AJ didn't improve anything in this movement in the last fight... So: I maintain that "he's done" -- that stands as a blueprint and now everybody knows for sure how to take him out... (and by "everybody" I mean Wilder first...)

... "the source' who just said above that AJ will be much more aggressive and that he will KO Ruiz?... OK...
