If true Ruiz didn't train then that was a poor performance from Joshua

[W1LL]

But more importantly than conditioning is his timing. If you have barely boxed and sparred then you hand eye and timing is gonna be woeful.

Joshua was poor despite of this. His tactics were better but he still got hit.

Yea, but what you're doing is, you're muddying the waters when t he AJ nuthuggers want to bask in the glorious return of their champion. So any criticism is not allowed! You are clearly a hater and DKSAB if you point out the obvious or question the amazingness of the boxing masterclass that AJ laid on the for masses last night!

Were you expecting him to go 12 rounds and not get hit at all? Not even a few times? You know that boxing is two men hitting each other in an enclosed space right?

Good point.

Joshua boxing has regressed imo.

You have to bear in mind, posters like LacedUp literally went into hiding when AJ got turned over like a sack of tacos in the first fight. So this result = redemption and the salvation in their eyes.

Yes, if a man whos not trained, smaller than you, less reach etc then yes I expect a clinical schooling aka Klitscko brewster rematch.

Joshua still got hit with good shots and body shots despite having every advantage. Not his fault ruiz did not train. But doesn't hide the fact that he should be much better.

I'm not particularly an AJ fan and think he is vastly overrated, but the scorecards say it was a schooling.

Yeah he got caught a few times, but you can't go swimming without getting wet.

Please tell me the thread starter isn't dumb enough to think Ruiz literally didn't train at all.

He also seems to think it's unacceptable for Ruiz to have landed a single, solitary shot on Joshua haha.

Joshua boxed very well against an uncommitted, unmotivated, unprepared opponent.
