    It sounds like you just catch the highlights on your Facebook feed.

    The Wilder Ortiz fight was dull as dishwater as a fight. But you got your knockout clip so you're happy.

      But for a heavyweight I thought it was a very high skill level and exceptional athletic ability. How many times have you seen a big Heavyweight move so well in the twelfth round? There's can't have been many?
      Surely you've heard of a guy named Wlad Klitschko? Your boy went life and death with him, when he was FORTY ONE.

        Light years ahead of Ruiz/Joshua 2. Not that you'll ever admit it, Limey.

          For once you're right. I won't admit that - because I don't agree.

          I know you won't admit it either.

          The difference between me and you is that I have the intellectual equipment to form that opinion for myself, rather than relying on just enough brain cells to get as far as "UK = bad".

          Anyway, you must be getting tired from all that 'thinking'. Have a nap. I'm sure your carer will tuck your sheets in.

            Face it; your messiah QUIT against a journeyman, and didn't even try to vindicate himself. His glass jaw is going to get cracked again. The second he steps in there with someone with a pulse.

            This is Frank Bruno 2.0.

            And Wilder is his Tyson.

            That is ASSUMING he has the balls to even fight Wilder. Which he doesn't.

              Ah the catchcry of the moron. I'm not Joshua, or his trainer, or his promoter. I don't have to face anything.

              Go on, say "B Sample". You're on your way to moron bingo.

                    That's on Ruiz, though. It's his job to force the issue when he's getting outboxed in every round.

                    If he'd properly rocked Joshua and AJ came through it, it would look like a better win. Yet because he didn't, Joshua's performance is denigrated.

                    Joshua couldn't have put in much more of a complete performance.

                      The aim is to win, and once he was a few rounds up there was no need to stop Ruiz. Anyone could see that Ruiz' only hope was if Joshua did exactly what you've just said.

                      The gap between them was so significant that Joshua probably could have followed up on some of his good shots and gone for a stoppage, but he also could have been clipped in return by a guy who has incredible punch resilience.

                      The purpose for stopping a guy is to win the fight. Either because the scoring is in the balance or to negate the chance of him stopping you. In this fight it made more sense not to try stop him. Anyone would do exactly the same.
                      It’s not about me bro, I’m not a bloodlust boxing fan. When you have an opponent outclassed and one who best your ass like you were a petulant child, you need to make a statement of your own. That’s what it’s about, there wasn’t shh Ruiz could do to him on fight night..that straight right was there all night. Ruiz had nothing left from the 7th round on..kings of a division smell blood and strike.
