AJ walking around like he is the King, he may well of Won but come on.. He did what he needed to do. Parker beat him in the same manner. It’s the equivalent of Man Utd turning up at The Brit under Ferguson and leaving with a comfortable 2-0 win. Not pretty but get the job done..... It was the equivalent of man united turning up at hanley Town and doing a Tony pulis 1-0. can't wait till AJ gets floored in a proper fight against a properly matched fighter and him and his ppv bandwagon disappear. Some fat fella loads slower, fatter, shorter calling you a fanny and offering you into the middle of the ring in round 12. Was like an adult holding offa child Ruiz should have sat in the corner, would have been the first heavy weight bought without a punch thrown

AJ to face Usyk next.
He's the only opponent I'd have as potentially being up there with Wilder and Fury. Be a really tough fight that.

Ive not bought PPV since the haye/Harrison fight, a disgraceful mismatch that i allowed myself to get suckered in by. This wasn't a mismatch like that one, nowhere near. Ruiz was planning on coming into this fight lighter but he apparently felt weak in training so piled the pounds back on and obviously went too far with it, he probably would have lost if he was 30lbs lighter though, Joshua made the correct adjustments and pulled it off, he made his attributes (height and reach) be the deciding factor and not Ruiz's this time. Smart performance if quite boring. As an AJ fan I loved the fight, his discipline was perfect. I wouldn't be paying for the trilogy, it's absolutely pointless. It was never a boring fight. A boxing masterclass. It was Ruiz who made it a poor fight by having no strategy other than rely on AJ to make the same mistakes as last time. Joshua was superb.

If Joshua wins that he’s a lucky lad..... just didn’t do quite enough for me Ruiz on points for me unfortunately Were you watching the first fight? AJ had this won by round8

Yet he’s still avoided fury and wilder I dont know if he has or not as we know boxing is political and they all have contracts it's not as simple as I'll fight him next. I'm sure though in the coming few months those fights will happen.

I always thought the same of Lennox Lewis and look where he ended up Part of boxing is to hit and avoid being hit AJ came in knowing his own weaknesses and Ruiz's strengths and boxed a fight around that Not flashy, not spectacular but intelligent Reminded me of someone shovelling away a tonne of soil. Took his time, didn't get fed up with it and speed up and risk a back injury, just plodded through and came out fresh as a daisy instead of exhausted and injured: an intelligent fight strategy It'll be interesting to see how he deals with the likes of Wilder and Fury: Wilder will be looking for that one chance, Fury may be able to out box him though People mention Usyk: AJ won't let him get close enough and a big ask to step up in weight and class

Well I stand corrected on this. AJ did what he needed to do to get his head back to the right place. Fuck knows what was going on back in June in NY but it clearly was not good. He stuck to the (boring) game plan last night and got the W. However, he's nowhere close to being able to take on Wilder who also fights outside but at a much faster pace.
As for the cost of the PPV I was at the Eubank Jr fight (if you could call it that) last night in Brooklyn. 12GBP for a beer (out of a can) - makes the UK PPV price look like a bargain.

He didn't really fight any different than the first fight though, its just that Joshua made the adjustments and it worked, i don't even think a 255 Ruiz would have done any better, he's not suddenly going to have longer arms if he lost weight, he just couldn't let his combinations go because joshua kept moving.

It doesn't seem fair somehow. If you have one bloke with arms a foot longer than the other and you are not allowed to come together and grapple at all then the short armed fella has basically had it unless the long armed fella does something really daft. I think Ruiz would comfortably have him in an anything goes brawl in a Mexican Cantina in Durango

Fury outboxes him and wilder knocks him out. He stuck to his game plan against a quick handed yet slow footed ruiz. He'll relinquish the wbo belt, usyk too risky for hearn now(usyk v whyte for that belt???) c defend the ibf vs pulev by ko.

I used to like Joshua but he gets on my tits now. Especially the stupid quotes after the fight, as if he’s Ali. He’s bang average and mike tyson would have sparked him in 20 seconds.

Can't respect someone who hides away from the top fighters. He'll probably never fight Fury or Wilder, and if he does, I wonder what extortionate PPV price they'll come up with.

Can't respect someone who hides away from the top fighters. He'll probably never fight Fury or Wilder, and if he does, I wonder what extortionate PPV price they'll come up with. Keep seeing this, and it's nonsense. Hearn has seemed to put him in with the toughest possible opponent for his position since Gary Cornish in 2015 and you can't say that about Wilder or Fury (assuming that these are boxers that people do respect). The Fury fight has never been on the table, their paths haven't come close to crossing yet. Fury was out for 2 years when that could have happened, and he just fought a couple of bums on his way back before he was handpicked by Wilder's team to beef up the quality of name on Wilder's record because they assumed that Fury was still on his arse. Fury has just had a couple of really easies in Vegas since, just to keep his name in lights to boost the PPV numbers for Fury v Wilder II. He could have possibly crossed paths with Wilder sooner but it looked like the plan (from both camps) was for AJ to boost his name in America first. And his first step into America was Baby Miller in New York, the toughest possible fight on paper. When do people think he's taken the easy option or dodged a fight? It's a daft criticism of Joshua.

Hasn't he just made an excuse for losing the first fight vs Ruiz? Timing seems suspect if it was indeed real. Had he just lost again that wouldn't have come out. In any case, he has a great physique but I would expect a real great to have destroyed Ruiz.

He’s only 23 fights into his career and has faced, and beaten Whyte, Parker, Povetkin, klitchko and now avenged the Ruiz loss, that’s a better list of opponents than wilder has faced, despite him having had 42 fights Wilders best win is Ortiz, a man who is rumoured to be much older than he claims to be. Fury had been out of the ring for 2 years so Joshua couldn’t fight him, the wilder fight was being lined up for after the first Ruiz fight but obviously he slipped up, lost and had to rematch him. Hopefully Joshua will be lined up to face the winner of fury and wilder in the summer.

He beat a fat boy, who was a stand in last time around and beat him. Joshua hasn't really done anything that wasn't expected of him first time around. Boxing has morphed into a sham of a sport at the heavyweight level in my opinion.
