AJ’s career is finished tonight if he loses, can we all agree on that? That sort of pressure is immense. If he manages to overcome it and get the win then fair play to him.
Yep, his credibility is on the line. He can show the World that last time was just a sloppy mistake against an opponent he didn’t give enough respect to, or that Ruiz is actually the real deal and he’s just a modern day Frank Bruno. Looking forward to the entire bill tbh. Preceded by the Manc derby, cracking night. Only the undercard starts at 5pm so I’m going to have to record it and watch the entire event after the footie, so I’ll swerve this place as I don’t want to see the ****ing result lol.
I don't see why his career would be over ! you can lose and keep fighting and he's still capable of winning fights .. It might e that Ruiz beats fury wilder the lot ! Joshua is still young … look at chisora lost 9 times and still fighting and is back in the rankings and one fight away from title shot .
The difference is, that Joshua has been World Champion and if he loses twice to a fat little **** like Ruiz, then his days of the massive stadium fights are as good as over. He’ll retire before becoming an also ran fighter imo.
Because his career is based on him not being another bum. Yeah he’ll have more fights, I don’t expect him to disappear, but his empire crumbles.
Yep. Better fighters than AJ lost more than once. Legends like Ali and Tyson. Not that I think it matters because I reckon AJ will win tonight.
you see this is the issue with all the casuals! andy Ruiz is the best boxer in the division along with fury.. I don't agree at all mate . he can come back even if he lose.. people were and still are seeping on the reality that Ruiz is one of the best without a doubt .
who gives a **** about his empire ? im not eddie hearn I just like fights , so as long as he's fighting his carer isn't over mate
AJ is just going to dance about jabbing and look to win this on points. Like when he fought Parker, this will be dull. So having said that tune in it'll be a cracking fight.
In modern boxing it is, he wont get another crack at it until he's too old and they are sure whoever has the belts will 100% knock him out.
I want Joshua t win, but I have to be honest and say I really like Ruiz and I hate the snobbery about his physical condition because he can box better than Joshua .. I see the same result , but I hope i'm wrong
Casuals? ****ing lol, I’m not casual boxing fan, I love the sport and have done since before you were nothing but an itch in yer old mans kecks, you patronising blert. I’m not saying he can’t come back, I’m saying he won’t want have the heart or desire to do so, as an also ran. He’ll jib it off imo.
