The Boxing thread

Mexican Butterbean is the champ. If you were going to put it into one sentence with a bow tying it off then simply Ruiz can take a punch better than Joshua. They both got smacked in the head but the Mexican chap just stayed ultra focused and pushed through. He seemed to recover better. No doubt those temple shots fucked Joshua up but that is the name of the game isn't it.

I am not an expert at all so may be talking crap but it looked to me like any rematch may end up the same. The dude was fast on the inside, to fast for AJ, i am not to sure besides jabbing him to death how he would beat him. AJ hit the fella hard a few times but it did not seem to affect him one bit really.

A question to those with a passion for pugilism! What will the USA promoters and such make of this, will they now have him labeled as "meh" or will he still have a chance there?

As a casual fan i half think AJ deserved that. All i have seen is a load of old nonsense regarding fighting Wilder etc. It may be all the promoters fault or even Wilder. The fact is it looks from the outside like he was dodging him or for whatever reason it didn't happen. After this loss people will start to think it is more AJ dodging than genuine stupid contract stipulations etc. I just don't think a Nigel Benn would have arsed around like he has, if the fight was on it was on. AJ seems to protected with his career being engineered to a degree that takes the passion away. He is like the English Ivan Drago hehe.

I wish him the best, it will be interesting to see what he does now.
 
Just watched the last round wow that ruiz guy looks overweight and unfit think that what Joshua thought when he stepped in the ring.

Apparently the guy had just come off a full on 15 week training course to so was as ready as ready gets. He certainly looked like somebody pre-disposed to being rather large. What i do know is he ate every fucking chicken (taco) in that room :-D
 
Don’t rate Joshua never have tbh . The problem is Joshua was more bothered about talking about wilder and he disrespected Ruiz . All everyone talks about his the big 3 and they overlook everyone else . These 3 are not Ali Frazier and foreman let alone Tyson Holyfield Lewis . Maybe he beats Ruiz in the renatch in the uk but the damage is done . Still say usyk beats the lot

Apparently, Katie Taylor's fight (haven't seen it yet) could have gone either way.

She didn't win it anyway. Got suckered into fighting the way Persoon wanted to fight and should have probably lost, more 2016 Katie than vintage Katie.
 
I think Bellew, Froch etc were spot on.

AJ just didn't have that 'fear factor', did he underestimate him? Only he knows. Fair fucks to Ruiz though, can tell what it means.

Reckon AJ will do him at Wembley personally, but who knows.

Might do here some good in the long run. Knock any complacency that might be creeping in, out of her.

Yeah best thing for her, the last wake up call made her a better boxer, looking forward to the rematch, probably won't be as good a watch for the neutral but think Taylor will do far better in it.
