Why was there a 22 foot ring for Joshua vs Ruiz II?

[Get em up]

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

Makes plenty of sense to me. First I'm not super fan of AJ I do respect the guy and what he has done with limited boxing experience compared to some. Second I think if AJ would've had to stand and exchange he could've taken Ruiz out. Not so much based on AJ himself but based on the 280 pound frame Ruiz showed up with. I think Ruiz would've exhausted himself unless he landed another perfect shot like the first fight. After the first knockdown in the first fight the others were more of AJ being exhausted IMO and take this from a boxing fans opinion not a fan of AJ or Ruiz in particular.
Just my 2 cents.

So the Chubby guy couldn't catch him Rings should be 18 feet by 18

A side tactics and ring size should be standard but they are not and never will be. Boxing is a poorly run sport that I love.

Coincidence or deliberate A-side tactics?

And why aren't all rings the same standard size?

So they could fit that fat blob inside it.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

I think both of you should check what size the ring was in the first fight

Seems like you should have checked...😂

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

no i stand corrected. I seem to remember being told it was the same size. Just checked it, and it was 18ft.

Not much difference really.

But obviously aj got the advantages he could take, like he should do.

He made no excuses.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I remember when I first saw the ring thinking that it was huge

It didn’t appear to you that AJ was coming losing the exchanges in the the second fight?

It would not had matter, Andy was so out of shape that he could not move properly.

Possibly the bigger portion of them but they were few and far between. Consider the same fight as the first 1 but AJ is physically more prepared he was leaner and more fluid moving where Ruiz was physically worse and was obviously not prepared to fight anywhere near the level as the first fight.
As I said I'm not a fan of AJ but I do think the first fight he punched himself out after the knockdown and got caught with an incredibly placed punch so the combo of the 2 changed the outcome that was intended by the odds makers.
A series of unfortunate events so to speak even if they were only unfortunate to AJ and all those rooting for him.
Just my 2 cents man. I could be wrong but that's what makes these conversations great to me.
