Close round. 9-1 Joshua.
AJ on his toes and pawing with his jab to win round 11. Not exciting but safe.
10-1
10-1 Joshua.
Booooooooooring
Take no chances AJ you have it won.
Stay safe AJ for the last round.
AJ high guard a d chin tuck down to give the last round away.
10-2. Easy win.
Ruiz wins the 12th. 10-2 Joshua.
Wouldnt matter if it was 15 rounds, this is a shutout by Joshua. Klitchsko style, boring and effective.
Pathetic display from Joshua.
Showed no heart by choosing to run all night.
I have it 118-110 Joshua.
AJ wins UD. No surprise he boxed very cautiously and looks fragile.
I'll say I was totally wrong about Joshua being able box on the backfoot and show good mobility. It's not thrilling or edge of your seat stuff and Ruiz showed up with all the motivation of waiting at a bus stop, but fair enough AJ. Well done.
AJ Dealt with the job in front of him. Mentally halfway back up that mountain.
Great work,. AJ clearly has no confidence, hopefully this win helps that but he really just seems ruined. Don’t do anything before fighting the Fury/Wilder winner and don’t you dare give away a belt before then.
Did what he had to do to win so fair play.
But didn't come to engage.
But we knew that. Ruiz needed to be fitter to get to him
Good win by AJ. He did what he needed to and won easy. I think that he probably still needs at least a warm up fight before he fights someone like Wilder or Fury. AJ needs to get that confidence all the way back. It’s not like Lewis when he got revenge in dramatic fashion.
Ruiz saying he was overweight. No one wants to see the 3rd fight.
One fight at a time but don't really want to contemplate AJ v Fury with these styles :-X.
Agreed, Ruiz didnt earn a third fight with his preparations and execution tonight.

Ruined? Ha! He can fight who he likes. At least you gave him some credit.Quote:

Any chance they push for Joshua v Whyte II
Did he seem like a confident guy to you? A pair of jeans with a stain can cover your legs(comparable to winning) but they’re not what they were.(ruined)Quote:

I felt the fight was over after the weigh in and said as much here. Ruiz allowed himself to become a blob and Joshua did enough by avoiding the mass in the middle. Joshua fought incredibly scared and even grazing blows seemed to rattle him. Wilder and Fury both eat him alive. Still, fair play on getting the job done. Fighting like that was Wlad like and you can tell he is scared to engage. Joshua is someone people will now lick their lips at and Ruiz will lick his lips, but realize he should not have eaten that last portion.
Just gave Ruiz a boxing AJ was top of his game on his toes to the last round I was impressed that's 🥊👌👍🙂
Anthony Joshua will never be an all-time great there's no doubt about that. Very mediocre fighter with horrible lateral movement tripping over himself the whole night long. Running on his bicycle staying away and lending one or two shots here or there sort of pot shutting the big fat 300-pound Ruiz who was more of a joke than anything I can remember and I heavyweight fight for a very very long time maybe since butterbean
Ruiz should be ashamed of himself for even suggesting a third fight. What a joke. What was wrong with the second fight? Why should he get a third fight?
But Anthony Joshua? Anybody who thinks that was a good performance is on LSD
Of course not he was fighting the bogeyman that smashed his castle. It doesn' t mean he is 'ruined', ha! The clowns writing off Joshua are all a bit lame tbh. A pair of jeans are not even worth wearing until they are patched to within an inch of their life. What happened to character? LolQuote:

I do like the options now. Just feels fluid again barring another 2 years of Wilder and Joshua having pissing contests over twitter. Hate to say but once we saw Ruiz come in wearing a flyweights leg in additional weight we knew he wasn't focused on the long game. AJ will probably do a domestic low risk, but I'd love him to come to the States again.
Joshua stuck to his game plan and got the job done. It was a decent performance coming off a stoppage loss. Ruiz was completely outclassed.
Hard to admit when we get something so big so wrong huh ;D. I heard that after taking acid 7 times you can be deemed permanently affected aka mildly tripping balls :cwm13: so yeh there's that.Quote:

Not hard for me to admit that I thought you would do a better job than that although to his credit he pressured the fight for the whole 12 rounds and never took a step back. Not hard for me to admit that at all
But it's definitely not hard to admit that Anthony Joshua sucks
Well he did win and is the man with the future in the mix sooo yeh. AJ had me wanting my pillow for a few rounds but he did what many a fighter cannot or will not, he adjusted and improved. Credit where credit is due and all that jazz.Quote:

Brilliant performance from AJ 😎
Complete pussy.
an did what he had to do the win is what matters but think fury boxes him to a Ud and wilder catches him at some point
I'd expect to see Joshua face Pulev next. Should be another confidence builder.
So you agree his is changed yet ignore my first post WHICH IS QUOTED IN THIS CONVERSATION “AJ clearly has no confidence(you have agreed), hopefully this win helps that but he really just seems ruined”. Seems, not is, seems. You don’t disagree that that is how he looks. You project that that will change. There is no evidence that will change, I don’t even argue that he could not change. I only speak on what has been seen. But you disagree because I haven’t projected what I can’t know and you can’t either and you feel the need to bolster your projection by condescending. And let me guess, I’m being the dick by pointing out the condescending hahahahahahaha bizarro world.Quote:
