Go back and look at the highlights and see what started the chain of events. After Joshua dropped him, he went in for the kill and got clipped with a temple shot, not a chin check. Control the rematch with his height and reach. Ruiz is a bit different from pocket fighting with Povetkin (more power but slow hand speed) and Takem (good work-rate but no power). We did a whole thread and examples of the shot that caught Joshua. You can see his legs go when the shot glanced off of his temple. Review Charlo/Jackson and Harrison/Willie Nelson for similar shots. Fat boy is getting pieced up but he got 2 career paydays at the expense of Luis Ortiz and his family.
I hope That Ruiz Beats Him again.
It’s a world class boxing match and you’re going to get hit
Joshua did and didn’t like it.
He lost his Bottle & Gave Up - He could’ve easily continued in the 7th,
The time from when he hit the canvas the 2nd time to the Ref Waving
The fight off was 34 seconds at No Time Did Joshua want to Continue!!
His 1st Big Fight In America & He Bottled it.
I liked Joshua up until This Fight.
He’d likely get Hammered by Deontay & Definitely By Fury.
If he didn’t Bottle it & Back Out 1st.
You can’t give him a Fighters Heart.
