Could it be that Ruiz didn't train because he knew he got lucky the first time?

[New England]

This was a fixed fight. They paid Ruiz off to not train, take it easy and get even more money for the 3rd fight.

The fix was in, I don't understand how people don't see it.

that wasn't a fixed fight. it was a mismatch. one guy didn't train and he hardly put a glove on the other guy, who trains like an olympic athlete.


i don't want to see a third fight. joshua is ready for fury and wilder. he probably boxes wilder's doors off, and the fury fight is much more intriguing now.

I'm thinking that this might be the case, because he already knew that AJ was losing weight and preparing to be a lot quicker and moving around alot and wouldn't let Ruiz close the distance, yet Ruiz just got fatter.

Sounds like he didn't have the confidence in pulling it off again and rather than train and go down fighting, he just said F it.

Sad that he did not believe in himself and at least trained and try to get something going against AJ.

I wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror knowing that I went out like a chump.

Duran did a very similar thing after the first Leonard fight. He didn't look fat at the time if the fight because he had to make weight. He had to make a weight cut. Over confidence and poor between fight discipline contributed to both guys loses. Leonard stayed in the outside and boxed Duran

Dude, it was fixed. You said in your previous post about Ruiz' lack of training ethics, but he was always training for his previous fights. You have him confused with Chris Arreola who was famous for his lack of training and ballooning up in between fights.

Ruiz was way too happy to lose. He got his money, his money under the table and a promise for a third. Then for him to come in that heavy, with hardly any training? Come on now.

I wouldn't want to see a third either, but the fix was in.

Hearn has more to lose if AJ would've lost again. It would've been catastrophic for him and his promotion company if AJ had lost again. So for him to give Ruiz an "extra Christmas bonus" is a small price to pay to not derail the Wilder and Fury superfights down the road.

AJ still looked like shit. He fought like a poor man's Wlad, with extra running. He may try outbox Wilder for a few rounds, but Wilder puts him to sleep when he catches him. Fury beats him more handedly than when he beat Wlad.

Imagine he just didn’t want to get knocked out by wilder lol

you goddamn loser, you can't come back with anything so you get mad? LOL fuck off then you little bitch.

It was a fix you hoe. Hearn paid Ruiz to take a dive, plain and simple. Been happening in boxing for decades.

[Mammoth]

He chased a guy for 12 rounds without tiring. Don't be fooled into the "I didn't train" excuse. It's a classic excuse boxers use when they can't admit they weren't as good as the other guy.

Yep he trained. He just didn't fix his eating habits. Funny how everybody knew what Joshua needed to do to win a rematch as soon as the first fight was over but Ruiz didn't anticipate it. He should have been learning to cut the ring better the entire time....

More like he didn’t bother to train because Hearn payed him off.

FlXED!!!!!
