Even at 246 he would've looked light on his feet vs jabba the hut.

Might as well as handed it on a platter

Don't say platter around Andy Ruiz! What a fat joke. Retire, and never darken boxing's door again!

Ruiz let himself down.

Neil Gee wrote: ↑07 Dec 2019, 18:11 Clever from AJ. That performance made sense in regard to what AJ had achieved beforehand, all that which made the first result such a shock, now the world kind of makes sense again.

True. I still thought he moved better than he usually does though.

I think Wilder would have a field day with the Ruiz of tonight. Would be a sitting duck.

No he can’t he’d have to weigh more and go for power, which I think he would to be fair

Nasty KO?

He was stopped on his feet wasn’t he?

Listening to the radio it sounded pretty one sided and Joshua executing his game plan and not letting Ruiz in. Didn’t sound hugely exciting.

Why would he have to weigh more? It would be better if he was more of an elusive target against Wilder than resorting back to being a flat footed plodder.

skanksta wrote: ↑07 Dec 2019, 18:19 Andy, you do NOT deserve a rematch.

You coulda won that and fought Wilder for $10m

Nothing wrong with Joshua's stamina either, boxed on his toes all night, kept calm , worked the lead left hook well, drilled Ruiz with some big right hands, Ruiz never looked badly hurt but did get stiffened in the 1st when Joshua bust his eye open, not a classic but it was absorbing, Ruiz looked like he'd threaten to let his hands go but mostly his feet were too slow to get in range, I'm glad to see Joshua win , its better for the division IMO, respect
