Andy Ruiz Jr. vs. Anthony Joshua 2 - December 7, 2019
Re: Andy Ruiz Jr. vs. Anthony Joshua 2 - December 7, 2019
Draw...I really don't see it, but considering we're apparently split here on the forum I reckon it's fair.
Hunter did more damage throughout though seemed to me. Definitely stamped himself as a contender, and I wouldn't hate a rematch of this. Though they'll probably just face other opponents.

The 40 year old fighter vs the undersized heavyweight...Hunter to small to make any lasting impact at heavyweight..

I wish there were more clarity at heavyweight. That's all I want from this main event: one of the two guys to win really clearly. And then move on to fight someone they haven't already fought.

I have a great respect for Povetkin, but, there is no way he won 6 rounds tonight.

When your scorecard is 115-113, with two or three difficult to score rounds, then you can’t be too upset about the draw.
The Sky Sports commentary team didn’t do enough to explain this concept to their viewing audience.

Re: Andy Ruiz Jr. vs. Anthony Joshua 2 - December 7, 2019
I said huge, tall not the only part of huge...hunter to small to making lasting impact at heavyweight, he could win a title but nothing sustainable...like klitscko, larry holmes, lennox lewis etc..
Re: Andy Ruiz Jr. vs. Anthony Joshua 2 - December 7, 2019
Hunter the same size as Holmes. Or close to it. No?victor-romeo wrote: ↑07 Dec 2019, 16:42 I said huge, tall not the only part of huge...hunter to small to making lasting impact at heavyweight, he could win a title but nothing sustainable...like klitscko, larry holmes, lennox lewis etc..
Re: Andy Ruiz Jr. vs. Anthony Joshua 2 - December 7, 2019
I would like to see the rematch. Again, I feel Hunter was the better man...............
Re: Andy Ruiz Jr. vs. Anthony Joshua 2 - December 7, 2019
The rematch would favor Hunter; Povetkin is only gonna lose more stamina as he fights on.

There’s no atmosphere in that Stadium.
Biggest fight of the year and the crowd are as silent as the Tyson-Douglas fight.

Yeah, you’re probably right. I can hear the music echo around the stadium. Zero crowd noise.oogiebe wrote: ↑07 Dec 2019, 17:01Guess they like WWE better.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑07 Dec 2019, 16:59 There’s no atmosphere in that Stadium.

I’m actually quite disappointed. I love a rowdy crowd that gets highly-excited about pivotal moments during bouts.

It's probably packed with saudi dignitaries. Maybe they should play "Ahab the Arab"Enlightened-One wrote: ↑07 Dec 2019, 17:05Yeah, you’re probably right. I can hear the music echo around the stadium. Zero crowd noise.

The highlight of the evening are the British fans that look like Saudis with their plastic raincoats.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑07 Dec 2019, 17:05Yeah, you’re probably right. I can hear the music echo around the stadium. Zero crowd noise.

I remember staying up all night to watch Mike Tyson, Evander and Lennox at 4 a.m. CET. The only reason I'm watching this crap is for the time zone.
Go, Ruiz! Bury this sorrow heavyweight generation once and for all!

Ruiz Jr’s jabs to the body are impressive.

Re: Andy Ruiz Jr. vs. Anthony Joshua 2 - December 7, 2019
Is it correct that Joshua:
- picked the ref?
- picked the giant ring size?
- earns 6 times as much as Ruiz?
Ruiz is really just in there for the paycheck, huh?
