He was exposed though. In previous fights his opponents have folded to the shots he hit Ruiz with in r3. It's always the same with bully's that build résumés on power; they meet a top level guy tough enough to withstand it and they look woefully short of ideas. Ruiz adopted Catskills for AJ and boxed his ears off. Round 6 was a fvcking mismatch, an absolute schooling.Riddick Blowe wrote: ↑03 Jun 2019, 10:04 Even if you’re not a fan of him, you simply can’t say with any assurance that he won’t come back from this simply because he has already proven himself at the top level. Calling him ‘exposed’ at this stage makes you look like an idiot.
Is AJ the British Wlad?

A European at best fighter who was unified champion after 21 fights? Helenius & Szpilka are euro level, let's see them try & unify the division eh?Ricky wrote: ↑03 Jun 2019, 09:58
You're delusional with AJ mate, he's been badly exposed as a european (at best) level fighter trading off the back of exceptional power that's got him much further than his basic ability would usually allow. If you think AJ has a left hook that's anything like Klitchko's I don't know what to tell you.
I'm all for opinions, but you're a moron, & the fact you accused someone of being delusional is the height of irony.

Get back to licking bums, I hear Eddie Hearn's is still a bit dirty from Sunday morning.BumLicker wrote: ↑03 Jun 2019, 12:27 A European at best fighter who was unified champion after 21 fights? Helenius & Szpilka are euro level, let's see them try & unify the division eh?

If AJ is a "European (at best) level fighter" then I dunno what most of the HW division is.

Wlad was better on his feet and had a 10 jab. Joshua can't step out of trouble and his jab gets walked through.

Re: Is AJ the British Wlad?
Exactly. God, some of the comments I’ve seen about this fight are just terrible. I’ve seen it down the years people getting emotional about single fights and judging entire careers based on one slip up, but this takes the cake.jujigatame wrote: ↑03 Jun 2019, 22:30 If AJ is a "European (at best) level fighter" then I dunno what most of the HW division is.

Re: Is AJ the British Wlad?
The HW division is *spoiler alert* not very good. Exciting, but not high standard. If either Klitchko was in their pomp just now they would dominate with as much as ease as they did 5-10 yeras ago.jujigatame wrote: ↑03 Jun 2019, 22:30 If AJ is a "European (at best) level fighter" then I dunno what most of the HW division is.

Pure speculation. That was then. This is now, and The Fat King rules boxing.
