reicherMan:
A late replacement and massive underdog, Andy Ruiz Jr. just shook up the world.

Ruiz (33-1, 22 KOs) spoiled the long-awaited U.S. debut of unified heavyweight champion and British star Anthony Joshua to score four knockdowns and record a spectacular upset via seventh-round TKO at Madison Square Garden.

Ruiz get up off the canvas early in Round 3 in order to do what oddsmakers felt was nearly impossible, he showed tremendous poise, power and fearlessness in systematically dismantling Joshua (22-1, 21 KOs) to flip the heavyweight division upside down

Ruiz, 29, a native of southern California, became the first boxer of Mexican descent to win a heavyweight title as he captured Joshua's IBF, WBA and WBO titles with excessive force and heart. The upset was arguably the biggest within the division.

"I just want to thank God for giving me this victory. Without him this wouldn't have been possible," Ruiz said. "This is what I have been dreaming about. This is what I have been working hard for, and I can't believe I just made my dreams come true."

Ruiz never backed down from there despite letting Joshua off the hook in Round 4 when it was clear both fighters were heavily fatigued. Two knockdowns later in Round 7 and referee Michael Griffin jumped in at 1:27 to wave the fight off as Joshua was weary on his feet.

With the sold-out crowd, which was largely in favor of Joshua, stunned and silent following the stoppage, Ruiz jumped around the ring in wild celebration.

"Big respect to Andy, big big respect," Joshua said. "[He's a] good fighter. Thank you America. Thank you everyone for coming out this evening. Sorry I let my friends down, sorry I let my supporters down."

Samuel Peter was defeated by A well built klitchko, but see who knocked out Aj... indomie boy

thegreencoal:
Drake's curse. It's a real curse. Sorry AJ.

AJ Bleep up. Period

Ain't nothing like Drake curse

Drake has been supporting the raptors and today, they're in the NBA finals......if you follow basketball

GrowYourSales:
Our own Anthony

Ah ah I thought he was unbeatable...I wanted to marry him that year

Typical of women. "I wanted...". How situations change your decisions is inexplicable.

The hallmark of a legend is whom that can give punches and can receive punches. Parker was right when he sad AJ has a glass chin. How can U compare Ruiz to Klitschko. U need to hear what happened in details. At the end of round 4, AJ asked his coach what round are they? And he went on to ask his coach why is he feeling the way he is feeling? Listen to Larry Izamoje’s analysis on the details. Moreover AJ snapped with drake and boasted on breaking the drake curse, now the curse has haunted him.

Mikkyjay17:


Dude sentiment aside, Do you want to compare this match with Klitschko match?

Klitschko knocked down Joshua than this, but he came back.

AJ had fought a tough fighter than him and he still won. Abeg leave it for sport.

Feels like an arranged match to me too... D fall(s) was too easy.
But i know Anthony Joshua will come back... Sport isn’t just about winning

Totally shocked, is one of the biggest upsets since Buster Douglas took out Mike Tyson.

FairPlay to Andy Ruiz, looks can be deceiving, Ruiz is now the first Heavyweight Champion in history to come out of Mexico.
Although, I can’t wait for their re-match.

Truly, if you know, you know.

PopeFlatino:

Barca Fans lost the ValverdeOut crysade
Naija Under20 kept injuring me

Arsenal I needed Bak in UCL was hammered

Now on a Sunday,Aj

You're not alone, this is how I've been feeling too. I'm definitely not supporting Nigeria at the AFCON as I don't want stories that touch. But that AJ's game looks fixed jare.

I can't believe this!! A pot-bellied mexican boxer brutally destroyed a heavily ripped black boxer with 8-packs. Bum everywhere!!!

ednut1:
Yet people said he would beat wilder. Wilder has incredible stamina

Very soon we will know of this fight was fixed or not

skales67:


You took the words right outta my mouth! Glo wey get bad luck!

is GLO cursed?

You can't be CHAMPION always but you can LOOSE forever... Yoruba adage(Enikan o laye) No one owns the world. I still remain your ardent fan #AJ

boxing is not a bodybuilding contest. The fat man Ruiz proved that trying to be as muscular as possible doesn't work, Joshua has always been a money grabbing hype job and now other boxers know he has no punch resistance his career will now be very shaky indeed and I'm very glad he has been found out. Big respect to Ruiz who said he would beat Joshua and did exactly that.

Something that was staged

from Tottenham (my barca revenge gone sour) yesterday night to AJ....



make una kwertinue.

imam07:
Fixed fight

just imagine all the money they would make ,by telling Joshua to loose....99% would bet on Joshua to win.....boxing is a scam....they would collect billions of dollars from this ,Joshua would claim his belt back in the rematch ,and everything is back to where it was ....

Never underestimate the power of a fat guy, he only has to catch you once. The Mexican may look unfit, but calling him a slob is ignorant. You don't just walk into a title fight off the street. There's whole lot of muscle under the excess flab. Just ask Joshua.

ednut1:

even AJ knew he never stood a chance against wilder and that's why he kept dodging that fight

Idiot Anthony Joshua. Upon all the trust I had in you, you still goofed and lost to a flat headed monkey, you'll pay for this I swear.

How are the mighty fallen?

Everyone talking about heavyweight boxing and muscles is clueless about combat sports. That was in nowhere a weightlifting or bodybuilding show, it was a main event boxing match. It's like you talking about football, 6 packs is just for show and not to score goals in boxing it's for aesthetics and apart from that has no other use. Well WWE has created the impression that muscular athletes are better.

Muscles is very bad in combat sports it sucks up your gas tank and leaves you completely disorganised in the long run. If a muscular athlete meets a well balanced flat athlete, the muscular athlete has two options which are to either finish off the match early or get disgraced later on because of stamina and endurance.

Tyson was muscular and a beast but the first time he lost was when he fought pass the 5th round, Douglas knocked him out on the 7th round. Your WWE muscular Brock Lesnar has always been disgraced at the UFC constantly by an obesed Looking Cain. To be a good fighter a boxer needs an iron chin, stamina ,technique, destroyer psychology and fearful demeanor. Joshua can boast of only technique which is not enough, he lacks the rest because he is more of a boxer who has worked hard to earn everything he has earned. The rest of qualities like iron chin, stamina destroyer psychology and fearful demeanor can't be bought. They come with talent, a boxer is born with it.

Mayweather lacked talent, was also a hard worker but he was a political boxer, he would lose if he fought outside the US. Joshua's promoters and management knew this but Joshua had become the face of the sport, the one who gets all the endorsements and ambassadorship. More than 10 million women in Europe and North America would pay anything to sleep with Joshua, they sexualize his social media pages always making advances, Joshua is a fine boy.

Joshua influenced, like that, became a Class fighter with finesse, a classic British Gentleman adorned with the highest award in United Kingdom at the age of 29. He wouldn't cheat a bit or play the boxing of politics and left his yard in UK to a place were foreign champions are disgraced, the USA. As a hardworker, you are clueless, you need to train differently for each fight. The short notice to fight Ruiz when "big baby" had failed doping test was also a factor . His long term training was for Miller and not Ruiz.

Wilder has talent and doesn't work hard on his technique. The only balanced boxer is the "Gypsy King" Tyson Fury, with a technique that is out of this world, he survived a 12 round hook from Wilder. Not up to 5 people in this world would survive that. He beat Klitchscho in Ukraine and drew with Wilder (though he was cheated) in the US. He has that demeanor and psychology game.


Well, having watched many generations of boxers at ESPN Classic channel, I can say that Joshua may end up as the greatest Boxer of all time, only Mohammed Ali will be compared with him.

same here..I won't support Nigeria..I even supported Atiku too
