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

[doom_specialist]

AJ cleanly beat Klitschko and Fury out pointed Klitschko much the way AJ out pointed Ruiz. So what's your?

And for the record. Fury beat Wilder.

He beat the ghost of Wladimir Klitschko, after the weary spirit nearly exposed him.

History will remember a controversial draw, and that they fought again to settle it. It's not like Wilder's running from anything. He didn't duck $50M lol

Personally, I don't find either guy boring but as a Lewis fan at the time I know that many people did.
While Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe and Ruddock were putting on wars, Lewis's backfoot Euro style wasn't widely appreciated.

No but he got the job done usually by KO like Vitali Klitschko and the Cobra Donald Curry

I wanted to see a good revenge from the champ who was knocked out in the earlier fight. He promised the fans that he will win in a devastating fashion and will be very destructive. Now he is talking about the 3rd match with Ruiz. God knows if we will see AJ vs DW.

So does Joshua to be fair.

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

Yeah, after listening to Ruiz's comments about lack of focus, lack of training, partying, blowing off his trainer, etc. I can't fault AJ for the way the fight went. He trained and carried out his mission. Kudos to AJ for respecting the sport and wanting it more.

Disappointed with Ruiz, but we're all human. Sometimes you need a break after a life-changing event. He wasn't mentally ready to prepare for a fight and didn't. Unfortunately for him they wanted the rematch right away ...

Is this the same man that barely threw a punch for 7 rounds against ortiz?

True but look at Ruiz. Sometimes getting the job done just isn't good enough.

Ehh. Sometimes it's win today, look good tomorrow. Everyone's had the odd stinker.
I didn't find it dull and for me, Joshua did the right thing, even if certain parts of his implementation were lacking but hey, that's just me.

AJ had opportunities to shoot more straight right hands but chose to be safe. That's not a good look for such a big guy playing it safe. It wasn't a good look when Lennox Lewis had to do it either which is why he failed to take off in America.

Joshua fought like elite heavyweight should fight against smaller guy with faster hands.
