A Professional boxer is different from Nairalandal boxers.


I laff people booing AJ cos of the way he fought in the match.


when u re-challenge a boxer who defeated you, it shows that you have known your mistakes that made you lose the fight.


AJ knew for sure that he could beat the guy, that's why he challenged him for a refight.


as a professional boxer, he knew what he needed to beat ARJ. wonder why he reduced his weight?

AJ had studied everything he needed for the re-fight, and that's what he displayed against ARJ.



see the brain Floyd Mayweather used to beat Pacquiao.


AJ wanted his belts back and the game plan worked for him.



and those of u saying u fit beat AJ can not even fight and win an angry fowl

Joshua is overrated. If it happens to be during the era of Mike Tyson abd Evander Holiday field: the guy, Joshua go dey chop beating wey go mek am run from the ring.

What the Bleep are you saying

Thank u AJ for not letting me lose money, oluwa seun oo

Clearly all the various tribes in Nigeria are guilty of tribal biase.
Reading through the comments, every post critical of Aj have been denounced as hate and jealousy, whereas every praise have been applauded.

I've seen the same trend when the person of interest is Igbo or from another tribe.

Therefore, all tribes in Nigeria are hateful and envious; any finger pointing is nothing but hypocrisy.

Now having said that, here's my opinion about the fight; I think Aj did great, for me the best performance of his career. He fought to instruction with a lot of energy to his Credit. I never he could sustain the leg movements all through the match.

Andy is a formidable opponent who can shock any unwary Boxer. He reminds me of Canelo who by the way was there yesterday.

Notwithstanding, I agree with those who have said, it's either Joshua lacks self belief in his full potentials or does not really have that much potential as we would like to imagine. I can't bet that Joshua has a 50:50 chance against weilder or fury and neither will most person's here irrespective of where our bias shifts. An Aj victory against Andy yesterday did not come to any of us as a surprise, because we expect he should be able to beat Andy, but won't s victory against fury or weilder be a upset?

My point; Joshua is a great boxer and has done Well, but unless he has some potential he is hiding within him, he's not a TRUE CHAMP, at least not today.

Congratulations to Aj and Nigeria

And please Yorubas have every reason to celebrate there Own.

Good fight from AJ. Ruiz was looking for an aggressive fight. So as to use his weight as an advantage. But AJ said no. Am gonna rock u for 12 rounds. A professional one . Victory well deserved.

Nice work SmartChoice.

The last day I felt tensed before this evening was the day I went to a hospital for HIV test.
Congratulations Anthony Joshua.

Those who are boxing fans and those who have watched the classics that ESPN air will agree that this looked like Mohammed Ali vs Joe Frazier 2.
There is why it is called boxing and not street fighting. Since a tall person cannot have superhuman arms like Mike Tyson, he can actually employ some wisdom like Ali.

Ali said " Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee". That is exactly what AJ did this night.

I agree with you completely..Just watched some of wilders fight, even though he is tall et al, but c’mon...the guy has one wonder of a punch ...he hits his opponent as if 2 bags of cement was merged together and used as a whip on someone’s head..he hammers his opponent...his big right is fierce...

May AJ’s team do more work on AJ before the wilder fight in future..

Congrats to our Boy...josh

GeoAfrikana:
I didn't watch the match though and I have little interest in it.



You have sense jare.

From the commentary, it's obvious that AJ ensured that there was distance between them. He is taller and has longer arms so keeping his opponent at a distance is the perfect strategy.

The other guy is short and thick. And seems he deliberately even added 15pounds extra weight since last match. He was just looking for the perfect opportunity to give a killer punch.

He did get his chance and dealt a few dangerous punches but they just weren't harmful enough to get him the K.O he wanted.

Both had a strategy but how perfect each was in the art of executing his plans was what determined the winner.

AJ applied experience that's it. Tyson was a fast puncher but his opponents got him by applying delay tactics into advanced rounds which Tyson couldn't attain hence his defeat. AJ learned a great deal

bayulll011:



Well said and i couldnt agree with u more.
I always say this joshua is not a serious fighter when compare to wilder and fury,he's too gentle and maybe the nigerian in him doing all that.

Yes he has plan and tactics for this fight which he followed and tailored to this victory but i bet wilder fight will be Completelly different.

He might turn out a different fighter with a different tactics in Fury and Wilder fights if they happen.
I have no doubt about Aj’s talent and abilities. Note that what I wrote was my observations and sentiments. Anthony Joshua took gold in the Olympics...that’s huge. You gotta have skills to outpoint your opponent’s in the brutish amateur boxing where you’d face the best from Cuba, Us and the Eastern Europe.

Since the Kevin Johnson’s fight, all the guys he fought after that had either zero loss record or very highly rated. He gave them their first losses with TKOs...he fought Dillian Whyte, Takam, Parker, Klitschko etc and beat them convincingly.

If anyone could beat him, I never could predict it would be John Ruiz jnr however talented he might be. I still think Anthony Joshua would beat him again and again if they fight again.

I’m only concerned that mentally and psychologically, with all the fame, huge bank accounts and other endorsements, the passion for boxing might have somehow departed or somehow appear to be slipping away.

If he comes into any fight with the mentality that propelled him to victory against Klischko, Whyte, Parker, Povetkin, he would rattle and maybe best Wilder and Fury in my opinion, however if he fights like he has done in the last two fights, someone like Fury would out jab and frustrate him. Wilder would spot the weakness in his tactics. It’ll take one lucky swing or a measured delivery of his Bronze hammer to put Aj on the canvas. I hope that doesn’t happen.

Pavore9:
Congratulations to him.

When you are being beaten worth billions of naira and not all those free of charge beatings on the street!

Ruiz don return the belt he borrowed.

I am happy for AJ.

Up AJ

This one is not boxing it’s just like ten ten kids game nothing but business

Gone at those Holyfield’s days

So, the blood wey commot for their face too na blood tonic dem pour for face? Take one jab and see how it feels na. Everyone has their style. Tyson was a fast guy in his time...he liked knocking out his opponents in early rounds. They studied him very well, allowing him to exhaust his strength in at least, the first 5 rounds. Subsequently, the opponent would take advantage of him and kick him out when he would have become so tired. AJ studied ruiz who was like Tyson, delaying his victory till the round of 12. Champions dont fight like a kid, take note.

Blameless2:
Power is not all that matters but tactics does. AJ followed game plan(tactics) and he won despite weighing less.

sensible comment. With this, I believe you watched the pre-match as I did...tactics, strategy win the contest, not giragira.

Coldie:
But to be sincere that wasn't a fight.

The fight looks scripted. Before u know it they would say they want a rematch.

They keep playing us all.

hmmm. The blood wey commot for face nko?

rubbish

That Ruiz of a guy is bad. He actually wasn't giving Joshua a space to hit. His fight is actually difficult. Joshua on his part was being careful. His height was an advantage to him else Ruiz would have knocked him seriously. But then congrats to A.J
