Perhaps, but having quick hands why would he not have quick feet if they only had to carry 240 lbs like AJ's do? In fact, the idiot was probably even more than 30 pounds overweight for the first fight so with 6 months of proper nutrition and training could have floated around the ring and punched harder at 235 lbs. Check his feet on the replay; his steps are about 6 in long. In order to let his hands go he has to get in range quickly without getting hit flush, rather than waddle in like a hippo as he didYou can jump on Ruiz for being out of shape, but truth is even the version of him who won the title would struggle with this version of AJ (and im not a biased AJ fan).
The best version of Ruiz would simply be too slow of foot and too short to get to the stick and move AJ we saw yesterday- especially in that massive ring.
We can get angry all we want about his weight, but even if he came in at 250 his natural limitations wouldve kept him as an underdog to the taller, faster, stick and move fighter.Comment

I don't even think it was the money or cameras that got to him. Thry didn't help but from my understanding this is just him. When he was broke he didn't train hard, sounded like he would rather build houses with his father half the time.
Has to be quite a bit of potential there if he was into it 100% I don't think he will fight again and I know Hearn won't let him near AJ again unless he climbs up and earns it as mandatory. Oh well, **** like this happens in all sports all the time. Some could have it and just don't want itComment

4 months ago, Ruiz : I am the A-Side I will never fight in Saudi
A couple of weeks later : I'm fighting in Saudi
Before the fight, Ruiz : I've taken this fight very seriously and put hours and hours in training
After the fight, Ruiz : I didn't take the fight seriously and partied too much
er.. ok AndyComment

Yes even though Ruiz came in heavy, he never really went for it in this fight which was weird. He should have gone all out to stop Joshua. But He just plodded on and didn't really try until the final roundRuiz really screwed himself. He is definitely going to regret this bc he is going to have to work 10 times as hard to get to this point again. Imagine the paydays had he won, or even had he given a good account of himself.
What bothers me most is that he knew he wasnt ready, so at least go all out for a round or two and try and make something happened. He has a great double jab, he threw it about 5 times all fight. Joshua looked good though, his stamina held up and he fought smart.Comment

I don't think anyone feels sorry for him except maybe himself. Laziness is not an excuse.
I don't think we will see him around again for a while. He will count his money and continue to party like Charles Martin did. He will attempt to make a comeback when the well runs dry.Comment
