Comments Thread For: Trainer: Joshua Was Not 100% in First Ruiz Fight, Won Rematch Comfortably

[VashDBasher]

Say what you want about AJ, but he have Ruiz a boxing lesson in the rematch. Moving around like that and connecting with flush combinations for 12 rounds is impressive.

Rob said the obvious and even the blind knew he wasn't right for the fight and it should have been cancelled.

But trust the accursed obese yanks to run all over the thread rather than find ways to lose all the fat stored in their obese bodies on a treadmill. Bunch of accursed fccckers with extremely low IQ.

Obese yanks stink and the thread smells really bad.

Who is to say that Ruiz was 100% for the first fight? What exactly was "wrong" with AJ that night? EVERYONE IN THE WORLD knows what was wrong with Jordan that night. They even coined a term after that incident. Yet here we have AJ months later and his trainer months later still claiming he was not 100% and that was the excuse. What exactly was off? There have been plenty of times where boxers are not 100% and still get the job done.

Not hard to do when your range is that much longer than your fat opponents. Those flush combinations never really hurt Ruiz either. I am not defending Ruiz nor am I saying I like the guy but to praise AJ for that night is a stretch.

You are implicitly praising him. He beat the heavyweight champion of the world and it wasn't even hard to do.

He beat A heavyweight champ. He did not beat THE heavyweight champ. It was not hard to do mostly because of Ruiz not because of what AJ did. Had AJ done that the first fight and knock down Ruiz he would have gotten more credit but he did it against a guy who was morbidly obese.

boxers are rarely if ever 100% going into fights, joshua 100% didnt have the right gameplan fight one yes

OK, to clarify he beat the only unified heavyweight champ of the world at the time.

Yes, Joshua RAN very comfortably in the 2nd fight.
As in away. Ran away.

Joshua almost got KOed by a 300 year old Klitschko. Ruiz beating him wasn't some ridiculous upset.

I thought Hearn, McCracken and Team said AJ was completely ready to go for weeks ahead of and leading into the 1st Ruiz fight. He wasn't ready to take America by storm? They wanna re-write the script now?

LoLoL! What happened to trainers who MADE SURE their fighter was ready ... and talked about preparations years later, after the fighters career was ended?

Is everyones job now just fan-girl mouthpiece?. No hard facts from anywhere on these teams? And, it's ok now for a trainer to say "I failed to have my fighter prepared" for his largest fight, coming out at MSG? That would make all his critics after the defeat correct.
