Joshua v Ruiz

[Mark TKO]

Ffs I didn’t wake up and missed it.

Just watched now but knew result.

Amateurish from Joshua when he went for the kill in round 3 but fair play to Ruiz, didn’t give up and stood his ground.

AJ was gassed and out of ideas - maybe he never recovered from that first knockdown - but he quit at the end and didn’t want to go on.

Like it how Hearn assumes the rematch will be in the UK ??

Only the greatest of heavies have come back from ko losses and re established themselves. IMO AJ is not in that league but he could prove us wrong.

He’s lost something over the past few fights we all saw it. Tonight it was exposed

I agree , everyone he fights now will be winging bombs at the static chin.

I can't stop watching it. Fuck me. Not every day you get an upset like this in the heavyweight division. I nearly didn't watch it too.

[Kirkland Laing]

After the third round he was fucked. Just pawing away with that jab. I've got to think Ruiz is favourite for the rematch.

[Mark TKO]

Never really looked visibly hurt did he.

But did look tired and clueless

[Fenster]

His chin didn't let him down, he's been caught and rocked by left hooks since the amateurs (Whyte, Klit, Povetkin). This time he didn't get away with it.

The 3 piece close combos got Joshua repeatedly. AJ jab was on but he was tossing singles and over thinking it. Big Hoss landed the clean double left hook pulling back that initially sent him reeling.

[Fenster]

Joshua's last bad performance as such was Takam. I think he needs a full camp focused on one fighter to fight well.

His chin is fine. Got up from wlad who puts people to sleep and recovered Vs whyte

He certainly won't be going to Miami again. The lovely weather and "environment" are a little different to Sheffield.

Fourth fifth and sixth rounds it was a keep away from me jab. He couldn't keep his hands up. The third round wrecked him. The ref did him a hell of a favour stopping him when he did.

ruiz hands are quick as fuck me he probably gives all big three a fight grin hell cause of it.maybe my friend was fucked up but be six ruiz was a 54 go 1 underdog s o me where and if that's the case I would have put a tenner down on him

[sanatogen]

Out of the three, Fury is the most mobile and too crafty to get caught like that against Ruiz.

Ruiz can do the same in a rematch against Joshua. Fast counters and toughness wearing Joshua down.

It was a great display and people say short notice for Joshua, but what about Ruiz? It was great to see a HW throw several punches after being hit and just keep on driving like he did. Joshua did keep getting up, but he likely knew he would keep going down had it continued. His head doesn't move and those hands were doing a Calzaghe on him. He was kind of Lacy'ed in there.

I'm shocked, but not shocked to my socks. Ya know the feeling?

I was shocked when I heard it in the morning. I thought it was a formality and did not think it was worth staying up for.
