Yeah around the 3rd he started bouncing around and using the jab and keeping good distance. He wasn't letting Povetking get close like that. Against Ruiz it was like he was going through the motions like you said. nikka couldn't be bothered or some shyt.

Ruiz was pushing him back and then countering everything sharply. You can't be sloppy with a guy like that.
Fam I swear at least Wilder can fight off the backfoot. AJ was getting walked down and since he likes to bully cats it doesn't bode well

I swear I saw in the povetkin fight his jab man.....it paid off there when it was to the body but it looked like he was just goin through the motions sometimes. And not the pawing jab wlad has where he can just explode. He looked slow. Idk whats up he had no head control of ruiz to blind him when he come in, didn't frame or nothing....etc
@Yuzo thoughts?
i think head control is a gimmick.

as for the fight, i have to watch it again, but to quote ray arcel, sometimes when a guy gets hit, they sort of stay hit. he didnt mean just for the rest of a fight. he means forever.

The Truth
I agree with you, but I think Wilder KO's Ruiz. Styles make fights like you said and Wilder is pretty good at keeping his distance and staying aggressive. Ruiz's short arms will have trouble counter punching Wilder when Wilder keeps him on the end of those punches.
Nah

Wilder can’t box, cant counter, he literally just has a basic 1-2. If AJ is one dimensional than Wilder is DEFINITELY one dimensional

I will say if Ruiz gets hit he might be done. But if you look at how AJ got him down it was an uppercut hook type combo. Wilder doesn’t throw that shyt

But if he gets hurt he’s done. Same for Ruiz. Even with them short ass arms, ruiz boxes his way inside and Wilder doesn’t nearly jab enough

possible but klitschko seemed to do it better. David haye was lost against him. I guess it was more he was better in the clinch

Wilder backfoot game is average but he knows how to use his length an athleticism much better. Plus his footwork is way better than AJ's so dudes don't crowd him as fast. Him drawing you in for the big right hand pretty much gives him a reason not to box on the back foot since he steps in anyway once your lined up for that final fade.

Joshua can't bully you without a jab. Dude too much of a target to be standing in front of you not doing anything. Ruiz lit him up with Ultra instinct combos because of it.

The Truth
once again the clear number 1 black fighters get all the hate, happened with Floyd, the heel turn happened once Spence started getting shine

you only gonna set yourself up for more frustration

Joshua was never in Wilder's league and neither is this guy Ruiz
There’s no black hate, Floyd and Spence are 2 of my favorite fighters ever:heh:

I used to be a Wilder fan until he became a duck artist still fighting tomato cans and not trying to go take the B-Side money and take the fight as is against AJ and prove shyt...

He didn’t do it, now he coming off his flop of a fight talking shyt. Trying to threaten death to sell fights instead of picking solid opponents


Floyd record is impeccable... Spences record is solid and would be even better if nikkas stop ducking him. Don’t compare Wilder to them 2. And AJ is just as black. I respect skill, not blindly following color. Ruiz can box and would beat Wilder just the same

Lewis is leaps and bounds better than AJ( at this point) and avenged both his KO losses. I feel he’s a top 5 Heavy Ever...

We’ll truly what Femi is made of and how much he wants this . nikka looked like he was gonna hit Starlets or have a 5 some of prime rib bytches with his Smile. This is a career ending loss, if he’s made of true greatness he’ll bounce back, get his belts back and get back to the top of The Mountain.

shyt like this is what makes Boxing GOAT :wow:


:ehh:

And ruiz fast as fukk. Knew it was gonna be a factor but damn he unleashed the flutes on joshua. Hit him with them king of fighters desperation moves.
