Comments Thread For: Arum: Ruiz Had No Chance In Joshua Rematch; Buster Douglas Redux

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK Once Bob Arum learned Andy Ruiz Jr. weighed in at 283 pounds, his former promoter determined there was no reason to even watch Ruiz's rematch against Anthony Joshua. Arum decided then that Joshua would definitively defeat an out-of-shape Ruiz in their 12-round fight Saturday night in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia. The 6-feet-6 Joshua (23-1, 21 KOs), who came in 10-plus pounds lighter than he did for their first fight, out-boxed a poorly prepared Ruiz (33-2, 22 KOs) and won a unanimous decision to take back his IBF, IBO, WBA and WBO heavyweight titles at Diriyah Arena.

Damn! Everyone bagging on Ruiz! If I was his family I would be putting Ruiz on suicide watch.

Hearns made a call and told the Saudi's to indulge Ruiz with extra helpings on everything!

Hearns also paid Ruiz’s sparring partners under the table money to share their cheat meals with him as well!

Wouldn’t be surprised Hearns cut a deal with someone close to Ruiz to allow him to eat whatever he wants and whenever he wants!

Who would pass up a couple 100K just to allow your close confidant to indulge on treats?

Smart move by Edwards, gotta hand it to him!

I have a feeling that the fat jokes took a toll on him. Constantly hearing "losing to the short fat guy" mustv sent shock waves through his digestive system, which probably sent him into 'comfort food' mode. All this talk of "1st Mexican,"... "humbled," ... "will prove 1st wasnt a fluke," wasnt a match for the buffet......He clearly wasnt determined enough - probably never will be.....crazy potential though.....
