is this a joke? why cant we give ruiz his props? jshua was good till the 3rd when he dropped ruiz but suddenly because he loses and finally fights an opponent who doesnt suit him stylistically we need to come up with excuses?? lets give mr ruiz his due, he fought a great fight and deserves his win. lets stop with the nonsense.
Because he is mexican
They were saying it was a lucky punch against Pacquiao
I feel like this is a valid discussion to have but it's only being tied into Joshua-Ruiz here through unproven hearsay. Joshua and everyone around him aren't trying to use this or anything else as an excuse so talking about this issue in relation to that particular fight is strange.
They did it too with Dogboe, that was the african star of Arum
They said that Dogboe did not train to fight with Navarrete in the first fight
And a lot of excuses and then Navarrete destroyed him worst in the rematch
Joshua became complacent after the Jarrell Miller drug test fiasco. Miller embarrassed Joshua at multiple press conferences which gave Joshua the edge he needed to take the fight serious. Once Miller was out of the equation I think AJ unconsciously overlooked Ruiz and failed to take him seriously because Ruiz doesn’t look like he trains for anything. When a champion allows another fighter to hold all of his belts for pictures, in my opinion, it means he’s over confident. Joshua will get his shyt together for the rematch because he has to.
Luis Ortíz before the fight of Ruiz vs Joshua
"Ruiz is a very good and dangerous opponents"
Wilder before the fight of Ruiz vs Joshua
"Ruiz is a serious opponents"
Whyte, Hearn, trainer of Joshua, before the fight of Ruiz vs Joshua
You can’t have watched that fight and thought AJ looked normal? He was a shadow of his usual self even before Rd 3. Something was up. This writer knows it else the article wouldn’t have been written.
Joshua thrown 50 jabs before the third , he was normal.
This is the objective of this kind of artícles and writers
The objective is: people talking about how Joshua was not the same and was overlooking Joshua
Or saying poor Joshua has a concussion before the fight
Joshua was not the same
It's to save the reputation of Joshua
Thats unfair because it was 100% the merit of Ruiz
And Joshua team took the lose like men
It's the st.upid fans and salty writers that are saying a lot of excuses
You clearly misunderstood me. I've been a fan of and touted Ruiz for about the last 3 years. No, I didn't predict the upset, but I took notice of Ruiz's talent years back. He's a true born and raised boxer.
All I was saying was, to my eyes, AJ just didn't look right that night.
And secondly, I was just giving my take on what I seen in the 3rd round.
Who wins the rematch? Idk but I'd like to see Ruiz do it again.

Oh, sorry man, i was wrong
Yeah, the fight was too eléctric, just the round third was incredible
I think, if Joshua wins the rematch Andy will deserve the third

Or maybe the article was written because there are still some out there that must convince themselves that there are clear gaps in his defense, physique and stamina. This has been known. The muscle he carries around requires a lot of oxygen in which to recuperate. When he goes for the kill and doesn’t score it he exhausts himself. Already lacking oxygen a well placed shot to the temple further restricts blood flow and sparks the brain completely depleting oxygen. Game over:
