Comments Thread For: Joshua Rejects Ruiz's Claim of Never Being Hurt in First Fight

[El_Mero]

Joshua will make the same mistake again: he will "hurt" Ruiz, try to finish him...and Ruiz will beat him again. It is about ego.

Thats been AJ's problem for a minute now, tbh. I remember when he thought he knocked out Wlad, he jumped up on the ropes flexing, only to realize Wlad got up and Wlad started to batter AJ in that same round. Next round Wlad knocked down AJ.

Maybe its cause AJ doesnt have a long boxing background? Who the hell knows. Either way, may the best man win this Saturday. Should be a good FIGHT while it lasts.

He never looked unsteady on his feet. If Ruiz says he wasn't hurt, that seems believable to me.

Thats your argument?
If Ruiz says so..
Lolololol

He definitely hurt Ruiz when he dropped him but not to the point of Ruiz being ready to go. Ruiz has a great chin cause he ATE that perfect right hand afterwards. This is something he needs to learn from Wlad, you have to soften guys like Ruiz up.... I think even Wilder would have to hit Ruiz quite a bit to get him out of there.

Josh is getting a bit petty now. Ruiz wasn't hurt like we undersrand. When he got up he wasn't trying to survive and run from josh. He was embarrassed he went down and surprised. His instinct was you caught.me with a good shot now feel mine. But any heavyweight who gets hit can go down.
Fury was hurt v wilder. He tried clearing head for a while after getting off canvas. Tried avoiding wilder follow up.
But of course ruiz wouldn't just stand there and let Josh have free hit. Wilder wouldn't let fury have free hit it or Paul malignaggi

He was hurt a little, great recovery though, Joshua on the other hand looked terrible after each KD. Massive difference and a massive worry for any Joshua fans out there for the rematch.

My argument was that Ruiz never looked unsteady on his feet.

2 sentences, you couldn't be bothered to read both of them?

Ruiz is in AJ's head.

[redmish]

He got dropped by some really good shots and was lucky he never hurt his right shoulder falling so awkwardly, but his eyes were fine. He watched the referee while he was counting and was steady when he got up. He then took a massive straight right without issue. He has a fantastic chin.

[ELPacman]

Ruiz got caught completely relaxed and dropped. Despite that, he looked perfectly fine on the ground and got up like it was nothing. He then ate a monster right hand and barely flinched.

Mean while, AJ is all over the damn floor and pretending he could of continued. You know what, I'll admit it, he clearly could have. He was up and responding to the ref after the 4th time. Does that mean he wouldn't have gone down a 5th-6th-7th time??? Just how many times you want to feel the floor before it's waved off??

No boxer likes taking punches as it hurts. Fury said if his daughter hit him it would hurt.
But we must separate and compartmentise the definition. when Josh got up his legs were unsteady and twitching unc ontrollably. Almost didn't want move as his legs might betray him and do a Trevor Berwick and give game away that he was hurt. When Josh is hurt he smiled to hide being hurt.
