I'm sure Hearns contract is watertight, but imagine if Ruiz now faces Wilder to unify.
Better yet, imagine if Ruiz won that one 🤣
Already knew it from the build up but fucking hell Yank boxing followers are the absolute worst, thick as pig shit.
Der her this is proof he ran from wilder bomb squad

Very classy response from Joshua to be fair to him. Watching bits of it now and it seems like he gassed out early trying to finish him early. He says he recovered in the fifth and he probably just about did, but man Ruiz has some speed to him and just out-worked him. What's worrying for me looking at that is that Ruiz landed one left hook on the counter, and then just swung wildly and it was the accumulation that did it for Joshua.
Well that's exactly what Wilder does, only with more power and more reach - If he can't evade a fat Mexican midget what chance does he have to avoiding Wilder?
Ah well. Next 18 months now even more interesting because if Wilder gets past Ortiz, and then face Fury again in December, that's when Joshua will have his rematch and so if the cards align we could still have a giant summer unification bout next year.

Looooool Liverpool win the Champions League and Joshua gets TKO'd in the same night - This is the greatest night of sport ever hahaha.
Said it before and it's even clearer now, Wilder KO's Joshua and badly.

My brother was messaging me like “why isn’t he moving his head?”, “how does he look so tired already?”, “where’s his jab?” I was like, these are things I’ve told you for like 4 years? Why are you shocked?
Weird how people don’t see flaws in victory, only in defeat. I’ve told him for years that the chances are Wilder badly KO’s him, he can see it now but weird that it took Andy Ruiz to show him the light.
Same as I’ve said for years, Wilder renders him unconscious and I’d take the under 10 on number of punches he lands on Fury.

One thing that did kinda surprise me though was just how bad his chin was. There were always rumours he had a bad chin but I thought the Klitschko fight proved his chin was at least solid. Pretty much every decent blow Ruiz landed last night rocked him, I think the earlier ones were because he was exchanging on the inside with a shorter man who has MUCH faster hands and he just didn’t see the shots coming. In the 7th he was getting hurt by everything.
Mad how long he stays hit for as well, when Fury got dropped in the 12th so fucking badly by Wilder, within 30 seconds to a minute, he’s got his legs back under him and he’s coming forward. AJ walks around like a zombie for rounds after he’s been hurt. Imagine Wilder hurts him at any point, there’s no way he doesn’t get him out of there immediately.

Was it a chin weakness or was it just his head being scrambled from a temple shot though? And is there a difference? Not that it matters either way as Wilder would rock his sense.
Still think it's a 50/50 fight with Wilder, just that he has to approach it in an entirely different way.
Also interesting is what happens with his camps now - behind the scenes footage was showing him actively pushing his nutrionist to do more cardio, do more exercise, to really work and he was being held back. Wonder if he'll change things around.
And, first thing that came to mind for me after that? Price vs Thompson. Price was never the same after that, got his equilibruim rocked once and never recovered, rushed into the rematch and that was pretty much that.

The ending was very Price-like too, he just walked to the corner and seemingly wanted no more. Even then 2nd knock down he was bent over in the corner just like Price does when he's done.
Mad the amount of fighters people call quitters and they're not calling AJ one. Bellew is the worst culprit, he was "just calling it as it is" the other year when he was shredding Brook for "quitting" vs Spence but he won't even consider that AJ did exactly the same thing. He got up turned his back, walked away and stood in the corner with his arms on the ropes, he wanted no more.

People taking this to mean he's injured or had a virus or something going in. Think that's revisionist tbh, he's probably just never had his head wobbled by consecutive shots and doesn't know how to react to it.
Rofl at his old man going after Eddie Hearn too

Rumours now abound that Joshua was knocked out in sparring, and was potentially concussed too.
Then there's been a lot of mileage in AJ's dad wanting to pull him from the fight but Hearn convincing him not to (hence the argument in the ring after).
If Hearn's sent him in there with concussion then he wants his fucking license removing, but I really don't believe that's the case. Even he's not that greedy for money that he'd put it before AJ's health. Interesting that this is coming out the day after the likes of Dave Allen and John Fury commented along the lines of it looked like he got beat up in sparring.

He had a panic attack before the fight, he got knocked out by Joey Dawejko on Thursday, knocked out by Dubois on Friday, knocked out by Hrgovic on Wednesday and knocked out by Kabayel and Baokle last week.
Rough camp that.
People can’t cope with the fact that he lost so they need something, they need to cling to a hope that something was wrong with him but there has to be an explanation for how AJ could lose.

Anytime somebody moans about a Matchroom scorecard, remind them of this; www.worldboxingnews.net/2019/06/16/robert-adalade-byrd-controversy-briedis/Absolutely unreal, I saw the WBC had withdrawn sanctioning for it but didn't twig that both Byrd's were involved. Didn't even twig when I saw the clips doing the rounds of the ref completely missing the end of the round. WBSS is Kalle's pet project isn't it? Be interesting to see how he tries to rectify it if so
