omg. What can I say about this fight. joshua was good because he has faced a lot of heavy hitters, but this guy he has hand speed and combination that joshua just couldn't get used and never in his career was he ever trained to deal with that. Even in his klitschko fight where he was out of his mind. Joshua deals well against heavy slow hitters but not so much people with combination and hand speed.
Joshua is tall and more susceptible to being dazed when being hit to the temple.
Joshua needs to learn how to deal with this kind of fighter. From this I can tell you deontay wilder would have destroyed joshua.
Andy ruiz s a great fighter and would pose a threat to any heavy slow hitters. joshua maybe strong and a little fast but cannot deal with fast hitters.
But ruiz would not survive against another fast hitter aka deontay wilder. but may prove tough for tyson fury.
First mexican heavyweight and to win it in this fashion is the cherry on the cake.
ya that's the thing with Joshua.. can he handle getting clipped with real power. It kinda seems: no. He had a great come back vs Klitschko but if that happens against someone like Deontay, he's going to sleep.
Deontay vs Ruiz is now the big matchup lmao.
The thing about Deontay is.. what he lacks in pure boxing skill (starting late in life), he makes up with his Thor's Hammer right hand, and his chin/heart. Deontay can take a shot, but he can deliver them worse than anyone in boxing.
I'd rather see Joshua vs Deontay than a rematch with Ruiz, but Joshua deserves his rematch. I'll be so curious to see how that turns out. Ruiz seems pretty legit. I can't imagine he'll get run over in a rematch. A skilled heavyweight w/ power that can take shots like that and keep coming like it was no problem, mexican-style at HW, that's scary.
Everyone will be gunning for Ruiz.. he looks ready tho. hah.
was so shocked last night. unreal.
