Didn’t watch the whole fight but saw the clips. Didn’t even look like Ruiz really connected well on those knock down shots. Makes Joshua look like a chump!
Not to take anything from Ruiz it surprised me.
Ruiz is a solid boxer. Not beat Joshua solid though. He hits hard and has speed, something just seemed off with Joshua to me. He took far more punishment from Wladimir and did what Fury could not and not only dropped Wladimir, he put an end to him in 11 and did not leave it up to the judges.
Frankly I am absolutely shocked. Awesome for Ruiz. As much as I am not a fan of Fury I will say his response was far more dignified than Wilders.
I'm not interested in seeing Ruiz play with the two giant mouthpieces. I would like to see him defend against White, (he really is and earned the number 1 contender spot as I see it), rematch Joshua and fight Usyk when he steps up.
Let the other two dingbats crush cans and twitch and slap at each other for twelve rounds.
He corkscrewed Joshua a couple of other times before that. For a fat guy Ruiz has good movement and defense. I was surprised
Something seemed "off" to you?
Not me-Joshua is overhyped, is filled with ego by his team, and is treated like a demigod.
Ruiz and guys like him are the cure against fighters like Joshua, who's so filled with pride they don't even box amazingly.
Joshua spit out his mouthpiece! 100% arrogance. RIGHT AFTER he went to his corner and tried to get away with resting. What an egotist.
Amazing speed for a fatty.
Ruiz' speed and his punch flurry response to getting hit in the face shocked me the most.
NEVER EVER underestimate a fatty! We will take your ass out! #TEAMFATTY:32 (10):
Sounds like excuses....Yes, that's what I said. The man who went toe to toe with Wladimir and put him down in 11, something Fury could not do, went down way to easy.
It's looking like Joshua got knocked out pretty badly during training leading up to the fight. We all know what a concussion can do to you.

What’s it say when the fighter is getting badly knocked out by his sparring partner?Joey Dawejko knocked Joshua out sparring before the fight. Joshua still had bruises on his face. You can call it whatever you like. It's not very common to get knocked out training right before defending a title.

My knowledge is admittedly limited on the subject much to my own experience. So take this for what its worth,
Two dudes coming up sparring at the gym or the local level is not the same as sparring when training for a specific fighter or a professional fight.
The point of sparring before a fight is to learn and figure situations out. Specifically for your opponent.
Your sparring partners aren't there to hurt you or prove they are better than you. They are there to provide a service and also to improve their game. So someone like Fury bragging about how he's dropping guys with body shots in camp sparring isn't impressive if you ask me.
If I remember correctly AJ brought in some amateurs to spar because Ruiz is known to always hit full power. That is a trait more common with amateur boxers. Professionals tend to reserve power and pick their shots.
So he was preparing for power and brought guys in that had it and got cleaned the hell out sparring.
Power is power. If you can hit hard you can knock anyone out. If you can land a shot is a different story.
I'm not cheerleading the guy, but I have watched his fights and I'm just saying he looked off.
