Comments Thread For: Wilder: Joshua Was On His Bike, His Mentality Was To Survive!

He fought Klitschko and you didn't.
You were treated like a baby who isn't ready for anything big.

Wilder fought the guy who cleanly beat Klitschko, and is going to fight him again next year.

Aj is a Ko waiting to happen, looked like a dear in front of head light anytime ruiz came close to landing, full on panic mode, facial expressions worrying and didn't like it, chinny on top of that

I hate it but Andy was trapped by fame fortune and Tacos!!

I thought the same thing Wilder said ! Run ! Survive!! When Joshua got hit his facial expression CHANGED!!! He looked in great distress!! He definitely looked like he wanted to be on the other side of the ring .

Reminded me of When Mayweather running!

The Only Heavyweight runner that was great was Cassius/Ali!

He was a killer didn’t look to survive but set you up for the KILL !

Chickenass ran to live another day and Tacoass couldn’t do a thang about it !!!

Wilder will straighten all this out !!!

And then got the ko. Can’t forget that part

No doubt about that, but if clinching were banned as our friend suggests, he doesn't make it out of the round.

He restating the truth in a way some folks might not like. Nothing wrong with fighting the way Joshua did but he WAS on his bike to survive. Is anyone denying that?

100% truth right here

There is some truth to what Wilder said.. but skill is a big part of boxing.. I wish AJ would've engaged a little more but I saw this coming.. similar to the Parker fight. Idk, at this point I think Wilder's stock is rising while AJs seems to be diminishing.. it wont change their paydays much but Wilder has gotta be a favorite at this point. AJ is still the A-side but any good fighter with a decent punch will stop him. Wilder obviously has an upset written all over him if he has an off night with the right hand.

If Wilder gets by Fury and AJ steam rolls Pulev and Usyk, they need to unify ASAP.

I don’t know man. 85million vs 5 million say otherwise.
Plus, one fighter went from about 50 to 85. The other went from 20 to 5. The one who had 20 only had that because of help from the one with 50. Wilder will have a knockout reel for YouTube, yes. but you can make a movie out of AJs boxing evolution.

Wilder's warrior style appeals to me more than AJ and his right hand of doom, but I see no reason to dislike AJ for winning and executing his game plan.

He did a great job of not letting his weaknesses overcome him.

Can't hate on that.

It wasn't surviving, it was just not giving his opponent the chances he needed to win. Why is it a bad thing to take away your opponent's one chance of winning? Surviving implies he was barely hanging on or something. He easily and comfortably dominated the fight.

No doubt about that, but if clinching were banned as our friend suggests, he doesn't make it out of the round.

Clinching shouldn’t be banned that was a poor point, but clinching as an offensive tactic throwing a 1-2 then clinching without work back, that’s very annoying as a true fan.

His mentality was to run, and not get hit. LoL1 Nothing wrong with not wanting to get hit, but the man knocked you out. What a wimpy champ.

Ruiz was a punching bag and asking to be touched at times... a fighter like Lewis punished dead fighters in front him, sans tyson
