Another Joshua fight I wont be watching. I hope you guys stop watching any of his and Wilders fights until they fight each other.

They have to invent tin cans to prolong a real fight in this division. SAD

Ruiz looks like a lard ass, but he’s got good skills, can punch with both hands and has good speed and stamina. His problem is he gets hit and against Joshua that spells trouble.

he should do well.

If Sonny Bono could see that, I wonder what he would say?

Daniel Dubois apparently Ko'd AJ in sparring a year or so back

Fury sparred with dubois and predicted DD will be a future champ

AJ needs to man up and stop ducking WIlder

This guy is a decent fighter better than Jarrell Miller. Not Wilder or Fury but hes at least top 6 fighters skill wise at heavy.

yes he is he’s got heart throws lots of punches and can take punches he’s definitely imo a better fighter than Miller thing is he’s reasonably easy too hit how that translates with the 6ft 7 Joshua landing on him isn’t good news for Ruiz, but hey make no mistake about it...he will come too fight and fight hard no matter what happens.

Ruiz is a good body puncher like Whyte, also throws quick hooks with both hands. Haven't seen him in a while, don't remember if he fights from a high guard like Baby Miller. Anyway...Joshua stops him mid rounds like Povetkin. $5 mil step-in payday like Takem got. That's not bad.

baby miller needed to get a proper ped guru like aceto, camel crew or coach on board.

he lost 5 million because he probably relied on his gym dealer.

Heavy weight division is just sad now. These guys are just journey men today. Just club fighters.

That's Cher and Sonny Bono's daughter. Her name was Chastity.

Had a sex change.

It is now named Chaz.

Ruiz is actually a pretty decent fighter. Can't judge a fighter by his physique. Look at Cormier...

well that’s correct the thing is usually as a rule of thumb if someone has spent more time in the gym lifting weights that’s just extra weight you have too carry that as the rounds go bye those “extra” muscles can feel like your trying too hold up sand bags, the theory rings true...fighters FIGHT, the majority of your training should be in the boxing gym not the Weight gym.

For the morons out there muscle has nothing to do with punching power, throwing/pitching strength. Its more about biomechanics.

Nonsense, the bigger your chest and biceps, the harder your punch and the better fighter you are overall.

Large pecs actually impede your punching power and this is why boxers rarely build up their chests compared to their lats and delts. Big biceps make it very hard to keep the hands up as the rounds stack up and are therefore also a disadvantage. Haven't gone back and read your previous posts on this topic so forgive me if this was a joke.

Bumping this for Saturday's fight.

I think the weigh in is Thursday.

Ruiz is very fast despite his looks.

I`ll take him for the upset.

Tired of Joshua and Wilder fighting bums and ducking each other.

If Ruiz wins,maybe he`ll be good for boxing and make great fights happen.

Desolate · « **Reply #21 on:** May 29, 2019, 08:32:53 PM »

Agreed.

hardgainerj · « **Reply #22 on:** May 29, 2019, 10:02:44 PM »

ruiz is too fat and headhunts

johnny1 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 29, 2019, 10:17:17 PM »

Joshua within 8, Ruiz has heart throws a lot of punches in bunches and isn’t afraid too take one...too land one...and that will be the problem imo he will end up taking to many, I don’t see a quick fight...1....because Joshua will be cautious (he has everything too lose) he will take his time finding his range and 2....unlike Breazale Ruiz will actually show up too fight.

Desolate · « **Reply #24 on:** May 31, 2019, 05:15:32 PM »

Here is the weigh in.
