Comments Thread For: Ruiz: I'll Weigh In The Same I Did For First Joshua Fight

[Weebler I]

I wonder why he chose to slim down.


Maybe he felt too stiff? Great athlete but that doesn't always equate in HW boxing, then again, it's HW boxing anything can happen.

I think everybody commenting on his physique affected him maybe. He was talking about how he wanted to look more like AJ.

He is potentially right to stay fat (or at least heavy), losing weight might affect his ability to absorb a punch, who knows.

Awful at this point did he trained or was it just eating , he had to sweat a few pounds

I like Andy. The guy is a rebel, does what he wants to do. Coming in fat again is giving a big middle finger to all the critics who told him he doesn't look like a proper champion.

When hasn't he been fat ?
Not so much a rebel, just a fat fu ck

Ruiz: I'll Weigh In The Same I Did For First Joshua Fight

Fathundred and 98 lbs

Basically saying he will kick his ass same way

Will Joshua fight with passion? That is the main question.

Joshua is is my opinion the better physical specimen, better athelete, stronger, quicker and has all the physical advantages. Problem i think is he didn't have the passion to beat Ruiz.

Sure Joshua was hurt and his equilibrium was ****ed. He probably had no answer on what to do after that shot, but he looked defeated and just mentally weak when he spit the bit. Who knows how any of us would've or could've acted or felt if given the same blow to the head and in the same situation.

Joshua took him lightly. Joshua and Ruiz are likeable guys. Joshua didn't have the killer instinct in the ring he did for the likes of Whyte... Why? Because he probably wanted to destroy whyte and doesn't like him and he probably thought he could just throw a couple power punches at Ruiz and that would be it.

I think Joshua needs to win to save the sport in its current state. Fury is a mess and Wilder is just destroying anyone in his path. We need the wilder vs joshua fight.

Said that all along,despite 500 stories saying otherwise. Whats this media obsession with weight anyway?

That's true although the most important thing which is the better brain to utilise those things belongs to ruiz. His experience and knowledge of what aj brings will ensure a repeat of the first fight. Its my belief he can via decision just as easy as stoppage.

In most cases, athletes (excluding NFL linemen and sumo wrestlers) and models look a certain way. You'd never think of Andy as either if you didn't know.

Heavyweights aren't supposed to gain or lose weight to improve. They're supposed to improve and, as a result, either gain or lose weight.

The scales will be more interesting than usual. If Ruiz was expecting to be 8 lbs lighter and isn't going to be, then that points to something not being right in camp.
