Re: What changes should AJ make for the rematch?

The aura is also gone, when Ruiz caught Joshua he opened up and went for it , whereas Whyte and Klitschko never went for it. The main difference was that Klitschko was just trying to load up on single shots (mainly the left hook which Joshua was able to duck) while Whyte just didn't have the accura...

Re: Ruiz: "I call the shots now!"

If Ruiz does avoid the rematch, don't be surprised if (over time) the narrative changes to Ruiz catching Joshua under-prepared/not 100%/whatever excuse and now running and hiding from his fate. I'm not saying any of that is accurate, but all we've heard since fight night are people scratching around...

Re: Anna Woolhouse - Sky boxing presenter

If presenters are getting the job simply because they're female then its wrong - but more importantly the executives are actually doing a disservice to women,by patronising them. But they aren't getting the job simply because they're female. They're also pretty good. As many have already pointed ou...

Re: Anna Woolhouse - Sky boxing presenter

it's discrimination against equally competent men. Well if they're equally competent, why not give it to a female candidate seeing as literally every other pundit, presenter and commentator is male? As I said at the start, if she got the job fair and square, no problem. But its time the 30 million ...

Re: Strange goings on

I think the difference is, while Whyte and Wladimir were able to hit him with a big shot, Ruiz was able to hit him repeatedly. Ruiz has good fundamentals, whereas Whyte was wild and unprofessional, Wlad safety first and very predictable. Ruiz was focussed, and poised to capitalise on the slightest ...

Re: AJ v Wilder poll (19th May 2019) - post Breazeale

If Joshua lazily leans in, swinging a slow, low left hook with his chin in the air like Breazeale did, he deserves to get knocked out. Its probably true to say that it's whoever lands first but Wilder has shown a propensity towards defensive lapses, much more so than Joshua. Molina, Ortiz, Breazeale...

Re: According to Eddie....

Apparently you've just got to be grateful to get the opportunity to fight Joshua. Thinking about winning or how a bad defeat affects your future career is not something that should be considered. Although in the case of Ortiz at his age I agree the gamble should have been worth considering. For $6m...

Re: David Allen v David Price - July 20th

Allen’s been in with Ortiz/Whyte/Yoka - not exactly small guys KO wise. Price is a walking KO into retirement - if it’s not this fight it’s going to be soon. I was just looking at their respective records there - mad how many drug cheats are on there. Thompson, Teper, Povetkin, Whyte, Yoka, Ortiz, ...

Re: Tyson Fury vs. Tom Schwarz - 15 June 2019

Fury believes he has already had his career defining fight (Klitschko)

I think he'd be happy enough fighting the likes or Seferi and Schwarz, bleating on about being Lineal Champion, until he retires.

Re: Jarell Miller stand-in: who would you prefer?

Golden opportunity for Ortiz. He's already lost his "0" so no problems there. A chance to fight the guy who has supposedly been ducking him for however long. Plus, Joshua has been training for a orthodox brawler rather than a skilled southpaw. He'd turn that down for another chance at Wild...

Re: Anthony Joshua vs. Jarrell Miller - 1 June 2019

One thing about Miller is that he's got a f**king massive head. I always assume fighters with huge heads must have good punch resistance but I have no factual basis for that whatsoever :doh: I think he'll just be too easy a target (possibly due to the aforementioned f**king massive head) and Joshua ...

Re: Tyson Fury vs. Tom Schwarz - 15 June 2019

So three of the past four defences of the "Lineal Championship" have been against Seferi (#51 in CW rankings) Pianeta (#110) and this guy.
