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."

Aj will bounce back I think he over exerted himself for this fight and I think the whole impromptu fights didn’t help his cause ppl saying he is not a good boxer bla bla as if he would be the first fighter to lose a match the dude earned all his belt and isn’t ironical that Ruiz jr only loss came against Joseph Parker whom aj took one of his belts he has fought top drawers whether he is overhyped or not that’s for the haters biz he beat Klitschko,Whyte Joseph Parker big names the mouth running wilder is he not bums like Breazeale that made up his 40-0.....anyways Aj needs to work on his stamina defense and all he needs to be able to take more shots I honestly think he always looks too lean for an heavyweight his defense was very poor tonight like something was really amiss and I think if it’s not mandatory to put your all your belts on the line for impromptu fights like this I think one of the belts wud do Incase of eventualities like a defeat happens you don’t go lose your three crowns to a guy who has 0 that’s miscalculation lastly I think Ajs camp never saw this coming they just wanted to give the fans a good fight if they ever envisaged a defeat they would have opted for a bum like Breazeale and just stack up their numbers

This is why he has been dodging Wilder all this while making excuses only to be knocked out by a fat amigo. I guess he had a big bowl of pounded yam and egusi, his favorite food before the fight.

ayufun:

He's actually afraid to fight Deontay Wilder before now and this is expected to boost his confidence to fighting Wilder. But now, I can only do hmm hmm...
