    The way Ruiz showed up I feel like the bigger ring saved him more than AJ. If AJ had to stand and fight I think he would've been faster and his stamina was better for that type of fight considering he was able to stick and move. When Ruiz did catch him he was too out of shape to do anything about it.

            AJ looked scared to stand and trade, the few times he tried it he would punch then immediately back out once Ruiz started retaliating.

            Probably due to flashbacks from the first fight.

            The bigger ring definitely hurt Ruiz. His feet aren't the fastest even when he's in good shape.

                Yep, Ray Leonard told interviewers that he pretty much won the Hagler fight during negotiations. He offered Hagler more money so he would agree to a larger ring, larger gloves and 12 rounds versus 15.

                  was 100% so Joshua could run all night.
                  Leave AJ alone. His super fans say that's the only way he could beat Ruiz so it's ok

                    This cant make sense to you. AJ didn't have to utilize the entire ring. Ruiz WANTED to stand and trade. Even invited AJ too

                      and putting it in the contract that ruiz had to eat 2 18 inch pizzas a day instead of his usual 12 inchers, shameful
