Off Topic Joshua v Ruiz

Even in the slog, he got the better of it in my opinion. I've only given Ruiz the 4th so far and that was the closest round of the fight.

Ruiz is going to gamble at some point though and go all in.

 

Joshua has shown signs of losing his head these last two rounds. Now he's getting caught out again.

 

That round for Ruiz. Joshua looking shaky again.

 

Dirty fat little Mexican

 

Ruiz's best round by far that one. Joshua reacted well for the most part to the big hits, with the exception of the last spell.

 

How many rounds gone

 

With AJ being the challenger he needs to clearly take another couple rounds to be certain that he'll get the win here.

 

Who’s winning

 

9 rounds and Joshua is ahead on points.

 

How many roads gone who’s winning

 

Cheers mate

 

I've got it wide mind. 7-2 to AJ. Ruiz needs to stop him.

Clever tactic from Ruiz mind - putting on so much weight that AJ can't get his arms around him to hold.

 

I've got it 6-3 and

 

At least 5 rounds ahead but as the challenger nothing is straight forward

 

7 -3. but I also had Hunter 8-4 and one judge scored it 7-5 Povetkin.

 

This is like watching a Floyd Mayweather performance from Joshua. Technically superb. He's pretty much schooled Ruiz.

He still hasn't impressed enough to suggest he can mix it with Fury, Wilder, etc.

 

He'd comfortably outbox Wilder but would be done if Wilder landed cleanly.

He'd be out boxed by Fury but could hurt him.

On balance I'd have him losing to both, but he's certainly earned the right to be in that company in my opinion.

 

I'll go 117 - 111, AJ

 

118-110 AJ. His best performance to date in my opinion. He boxed superbly.

 

I can imagine Sugar Ray Leonard watching that and nodding his head thinking 'thats how you negate a puncher'
