    Should Andy Ruiz have gained even more weight?

    He clearly had zero issues with AJs punches this fight unlike last time where he was dropped and hurt.

    He did shake AJ in the 8th so maybe Ruiz should’ve been even heavier that way he has one punch power for that opening he got in the 8th

    Sounds crazy but the lad might have needed more weight behind his punches

    If anything he needed more length on his punches, which is impossible. Right hand looked real short all night. AJ needed amnesia and Ruiz needed to get dropped in the third.

      Yes !

      Fill up as much of the ring as possible. Don't leave AJ anywhere to ''run''.

        Ruiz is the kind of guy that needs to fight 4 times a year he needed a short turn around if anything

          The he could never chased him.. i think it was more of joshua’s strategy that got him the win than any of ruiz issues.

            The fat would've blocked all those jabs, but Ruizs whole gameplan was wrong. He should've been trying to EAT AJ not box him :-/

              Using that belly flab as a force field ! Can't hit what you can't reach

              Iron Mike tried the cannibalism technique with little success.

                Any more weight would mean that Ruiz legs would buckle under the pressure of just his walking weight.

                He was so large I was expecting him to get to ringside using a forklift truck.

                  He couldn’t even cut the ring
                  Just don’t get it
                  Said all the right things and then a fughin road apple
                  Very disappointing
                  Just wanted the fight to be at least competitive
