On the outside Wlad's jab was enough to win the fight, and he identified the spots where he could throw his right and fall in to smother return fire, and that would have been a Wlad vs Ruiz for 12 rounds or as long as Ruiz stayed on his feet.
If Ruiz tried to break the pattern, he would first have to slip the jab then take a counter on the way in while falling into a hug.
Wlad wasn't pretty to watch, but he was coldly efficient machine, and Ruiz wouldn't be able to break the pattern of the fight.

Originally posted by Mindgames View PostMaybe, but hes always been more comfortable against guys he could keep at the end of hes reach. And that wouldn't work against Fury in any circumstances. He wouldn't be able to post, jab and lean on,and thats the main part of hes game.

Anyone who quits in the corner, like AJ, should be banned from boxing. Crowd came to see a knock out, they didnt pay good money to see a scared, pathetic, paper champ quit because he was getting embarrassed and taught lesson on his US debut.

Originally posted by PRINCEKOOL View PostJoshua does not have a terrible chin, all of the big boys at heavyweight seem to have very similar durability. 'Whyte, Joshua, Fury, Wilder' They all seem to be very game fighters when hurt'
I will say this though? Joshua does not like the body attack. Whyte was the first guy to go to his body, and I specifically remember Joshua being stopped in his tracks by such attacks.
Also he got knocked down by Whyte (in their first fight), Price (confirmed by Joshua) and Dubois (confirmed by Dubois).
I say he must be a better boxer than people think- to win so many fights with such a poor chin

As far as the bought comment, I just don't know. I don't think he paid for his height, reach and athleticism.
And he was sucking air by the second round. So much for athleticism. All that non practical muscle.
