So many things about the fight are puzzling. The odds on a win for RUIZ were ridiculous. Leon Spinks beating Ali was the last one that I won money on for the same reason. Joshua looked distant, uninterested and was systematically beaten up. If there was nothing wrong with him, I feel that he has a limited future in the sport. He was terrible from the start. If not, what was wrong with him? It is true that Ruiz was underestimated by everybody and good luck to him proving them wrong. However, I don't feel that he fought the real Joshua. The heavyweight scene has been over hyped. Too much time listening to biased promoters, too much bull, too many press conferences, too many orchestrated weigh ins, ridiculous face offs and slagging off each other. Am I the only one completely fed up hearing the name Eddie Hearn? I long to get back to genuine fighters/sportsmen doing their best without the desire to be dragged in front of cameras to sell the fight. The game has lost any dignity that it once had.
