Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Boxes Past Andy Ruiz To Reclaim World Titles

That was some decent boxig by Joshua, but disappointed in Ruiz. He told one interviewer that he basically trained himself for the rematch. He obviously didn't really prepare properly, just enjoying the newfound riches. I don't think we need to see a third fight as it will look similar to this fight. AJ can box but I don't know if he beats Fury, and if Wilder catches him, it's probably over.

he was too fat, I seen on instance where he hoped in for the 1,2 and it was their but that extra weight prevented that 2 from really being their.

Did you get round to messaging the admin about Changing your username back now?

Yeah it wasn't exciting at all BUT it was the right strategy from AJ

Put on a Boxing Clinic and wasn't too "PROUD" to Clinch or get on his Back Foot! Props to Him!

Exactly. When you've adopted the correct strategy and have the sense and discipline to stick with it, it's a job well done.

The biggest risk for AJ would have been -- as you allude -- to let his pride get involved and got into a fire-fight late on.

This was very similar to Lewis-Tua. Sometimes you have to fight smart which doesn't always mean entertaining but it's about the W.

Ruiz will always have trouble with this style. If Parker could do it why can't Joshua...

Ruiz gets schooled by Fury and knocked out by Wilder. I'm beginning to think that just maybe Fury beats everybody.

KO artist usualy loses when he faces the best opposition. You should know that.

Oh I do! That's why he might lose to Fury! But AJ is definitely not at his level...

Just like I said and have been saying.

I definitely gave Ruiz 2 rounds but that was it. Styles make fights and not every fighter can knock out every person opposite; everyone has at least one that just seems to have their number if they don't adapt. Unlike the 1st fight Joshua used his attributes well and kept his discipline to win extremely clearly.

Spot on - Joshua knew he couldn’t KO Ruiz, so fought intelligently and with good discipline to get the W. Doesn’t mean that’ll be his style for every opponent moving forward, but it’s certainly another useful string to his bow.

Yes.I think Fury is the best pure heavyweight boxer out there.Wilder is dangerous with that punch though.

Sometimes as in the case tonight you want to support the underdog and think the fairy tale can continue but its all about ability and dedication.Joshua had that in abundance tonight whereas Ruiz let himself down with the discipline side. I think in flashes Ruiz showed he was dangerous and given a more arduous training camp could have done better tonight?

[Akutalee]

So many idiots here saying the weight is to set trap for Aj bunch of fools

[Nash out]

Ruiz looked the more dangerous fighter in every single round. If there was a 3rd fight, it would be a 50/50 fight again.

Joshua got the win, so well done 'he executed his game plan better etc' But this rematch win is by no means on the level of Lennox Lewis vs Hasim Rahnman, or Wladimir Kiltschko vs Lamon Brewster.

Joshua for me, seems to have less believe in his power and offense.

All of these big heavyweights are flawed, none of them are massively that good 'Wilder, Joshua or Fury' good job they are fighting in this era.

Fury and Wilder would have battered mini Mike and Holyfield. Stop being deluded with older eras. They batter Joshua also. Don't mention Joshua like he is in their league you ****** prat.
