Joshua's flaws got exposed by ruiz 6 months ago.

Considering it did a reported 1.6 million in U.K PPV buys a lot of people watched it. Not sure if the U.K numbers are 100 percent accurate but for sure it did over 1.2 million and broke the PPV record, but not sure whether that means in terms of revenue or buys or both. That’s not including other global markets too who aren’t in U.K and don’t have DAZN but were still given other ways to purchase the fight.

Just got to watch the fight properly for the first time properly due to the shytty streams the other night.

Can't hate Josh did what he was supposed to do, boxed at distance and avoided close exchanges with Ruiz as that was going to be the only way Ruiz could win this fight. Sure you can call it being scared, maybe he was but he did what he needed to do to win the fight.

Don't want to shoot Andy any bail cause he was a total idiot letting himself go like that and gaining all that weight, but I do think if he came in at the normal weight he would have cause him problems. He caught him a fair few times but wasn't able to follow up, AJ got himself out very quickly and Andy wasn't able to close the distance fast enough. Had a very good 8th Round but then AJ pretty much closed the door for the rest of the fight.

Also I don't think AJ has the same type of power at this weight, landed flush at several points in the fight but Ruiz never really looked terribly troubled. Wouldn't be too worried about that though I do think it was a one off for this fight. On the flipside though, he didn't gas at any point in this fight so :ehh:May need to find a middle ground for his weight.

I rewatched the fight, was a very good performance from AJ, healthy he looked like a different fighter. First fight he looked so flat, this time he looked switched on and stronger.

Think he won every round apart from the 8th, and even then he wasn't in huge trouble, he was taking the shots better. The 4th was a close round, Ruiz landed a few shots in the latter stages but think gave it to AJ but it's a debateable round, other than that feel like he won every round clearly.

When some say he just ran it isn't really true, he was getting in quite a lot of good shots. He busted Andy up, he just didn't go in recklessly gung ho which would have been a stupid thing to do when he didn't need to. At times it felt like he was landing at will, he was jabbing him consistently and landed some good solid shots that rocked Ruiz too. The object of boxing is to hit and not get hit, this isn't a bar fight where they just stand there and punch off to see who goes first. If you want to watch that go watch an amateur tough man competition or some shyt. This is boxing which is a skill and an art. AJ boxed superbly for the most part and dominated. And it's not at all like he wasn't throwing and landing punches. Could visibly see Andy troubled by some of the punches he received and frustrated by the footwork. So it was a top performance technically, tactically, physically and mentally.

Wilder can’t even beat fury, let him talk shyt about unifying once he get rid of fury. Till then AJ is the real champ of the world. Wilder don’t even box he just swings his heavy right hand till he hits something. We seen here today that AJ can actually box when needed, can ya boy Wilder say the same thing? :mjlol::hhh:

This fight did over 3.3 million overall, over 1.8 million on DAZN and over 1.5 million on Sky PPV. Good numbers, if the Fury vs AJ manifests should be huge, you'd imagine it could really smash records. It's a huge fight but with a great build too it would be a monumental event. Hope it happens for the sake of boxing.
