@silentEXPLOSION,what da hell are ya talking about? Joshua beat him however. Do you even know boxing that AJ called 'sweet science' ? It's called boxing, not brawling or street fighting. If Andy was really a boxer,he should have won all the unified belts.
Give AJ some credit, man! He's only the fourth person out of ten in the 127- year history of world heavy-weight boxing to have successfully reclaimed their belts: Floyd Patterson,Muhammed Ali Lennox Louis and now Anthony Joshua.Do you think this is a mean feat? Many of you Nairalanders melted like ice in the build up to this rematch under the fire of fear that Ruiz was going to despatch AJ easily.How wrong you all were!:He worked very hard and kept a disciplined shape all through and got the job done.
AJ beat him well.Credit where it's due.

Nairalanders will no let this man rest and recover in peace...they'll continue being on his mention like monitoring spirits.

silentEXPLOSION:
IMO
He wasn't beaten.
One on one, AJ cannot withstand this guy.

Andy has quick fists but slow body movement, lethal jabs that could have knocked AJ out.

Anyways, no excuses. AJ won with sense.

#float like a butterfly and sting like a bee

New boxing fans are saying, "he wasn't beaten". You all think that boxing is about the knock downs and knock outs.
LOL. Watch Muhammed Ali fights and understand what he means by "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee".

More experienced and old time fight fans find that fight on Saturday to be the most technical fight in recent heavyweight memory.
It is more difficult fighting technically and following a gameplan for 12 rounds as compared to looking for an opening to get a KO. The first requires skill and discipline; KO requires mainly skill.

Wow

@kokomilala

I like AJ and give him full credit for his win.

But try and understand my point. I know boxing is a sport, and there are different techniques.

The technique AJ employed made the match boring.

It got to a point, Andy was frustrated, signalling to AJ “come fight me”.

Like in football, some team park the bus, while some play explosive attacking football.

You get the drift right?

Boxing is for tall men
What sport go fit fat short man like u
Wey be say na only u go dey carry champion.
Let me guess
table tennis
Lol

Yes. AJ was very disciplined in that match.

He knew what he wanted and he did not deviate from the plan for 12 rounds. Kudos to him.

But he did not fight like a man who wanted revenge.

The match did not build up to its hype.

His revenge was getting back his heavyweight titles.
Revenge is not always about using your emotions. If you use emotions to make decisions in a boxing match (or anywhere else), you will get KO'ed. Everyday of the week. Every boxer will tell you this. Even Wilder doesnt fight with emotions. He stays in the match, absorbs punches and slips and clinches and looks for an opening.

AJ fought like a man that had an objective. To get the HW titles back. Which he did. 10/10.

Good u were able to show u have brain in ur skull from ur last two lines. I like that. More sense to u

@silentEXPLOSION,lol! I get you,bro.But he had to use that tactic.When Evander Holyfield fought Mike Tyson, he employed the same technique,frustrating Tyson ,a brawler until Tyson bit his ear and eventually lost the bout.
Same with Lennox Louis.He so frustrated Tyson that the second time, Tyson dropped to his knees.I agree with you that it didn't offer much in entertainment, but that depends on the worldview of the viewers. To the millions of Britons and Nigerians rooting for AJ ,willing and hastening him to rewrite history, to set his name in the stars, and to silence the din of doubts deafening him before the fight,the outcome was enough.

Even though he lost, I really do admire his confidence and resilience.

but it was a boring 12 rounds for us the viewers.

See one of the reasons why these set of old politicians will never hand over power to the youths. ''One on one''. How many people were in the ring? Some of you just feel like saying anything since data as as cheap as free now. When Buhari reads comments like this, it gives him higher morale to sign the social media bill thing. One on one kor, ten by ten nii.

Abeg I no fit laugh. The win pain dt guy no be small.

The boring Mayweather style. Its making boxing look weak

So Muhammed Ali and Lennox Lewis are weak too? If you want knock out all the time, watch WWE or UFC not boxing. AJ has a knockout rate of 93% as stated by others. It is a delight to real boxing fans that man can adapt and change his style to match what an opponent brings to the ring.

AJ said stay hungry and stay humble. Ruiz lost a lifetime opportunity, if he stayed hungry by aggressively going after AJ he probably would have retained the title.

U are wasting ur time answering people who,s first boxing match to watch is Ruiz and AJ

RamseyBolton:
You had 5 months to train. Damn it, you didnt even have a strategy

That's what happens when someone wins a fight he never really deserved. Easy come, Easy Go. Glad he learnt his lesson. Now he has to work hard like every other boxer out there. Unfortunately, he won't be the last, Burster Douglas and Hassim Rahman were like that too.

toprealman:
This brother is a lazy opportunistic boxer. How can you be showing up for a heavyweight champion fight overweight? He never took this fight seriously.....and I doubt if he is interested in the fight. I pray he stays away from Wilder or Fury to avoid possible fatality.

I doubt if you watch the first leg and the second leg Videos, You only follow it up online

Andy Ruiz will beat joshua hands down, If they meet 10 times, Andy Ruiz will win 8

I'm very sure you never watch the Video, Joshua was beaten mercilessly in the first leg, Because he thought the guy was just a overweight boxer who he could easily beat, But he learnt his lessons after been beaten mercilessly in the first leg

He adjusted in the second leg, He didn't get too close to Andy, He was Running upandan while andy was facing him with all energy


Joshua was lucky to have won this match!

The aim of the sport is to hit and not get hit and that his precisely what AJ did.

Unanimous decision is not lucky. Knockout is actually luck as we saw in Ortiz/Wilder and Fury/Wilder. Running up and dan, yet he landed over 120 punches. How many punch did Andy land on AJ?

Andy was outboxed like a kid learning boxing. He does not understand the science or art of boxing. Now he knows that not everything is about power or force. Even Ghana with all their power and rough play in soccer will always get thrashed by a softer team like Brazil or Spain

salford1:
Lol. No need for apology. He got schooled in the art and science of boxing. AJ landed over 120 punches while he barely landed any. Not everything is about knockout or power. Just like a football match, you adapt to whatever will get you the win. Ghanaians are known for playing rough and tough in football but will still get humbled by a Brazilian or Spanish team. BRAIN over BRAWL.

He was lucky to be matched with him in the first instance. AJ usually fights champions or well known contenders not like some others that fight journeymen boxers. Now that he has brought Andy into the limelight, sell some of those Bentleys and luxury cars he just bought like his father advised, keep away from those pest friends of his, and best he uses his prize money to develop himself and rise up like every other boxer. One belt at a time. No more free meal.

AJ is now worth £100 million pounds. The new Mayweather of the heavyweight division and would only take mandatory defense fights.

Thank you jare, wilder wanting what he doesn't deserve, if he comes the cut ratio should be 1:10.

Can you just imagine? How can he be this dull saying one on one? I keep saying it that Nigeria is too young and not matured enough for this social media exposure. The terms and conditions that should have accomplished this internet thing should be so strict.

so AJ showuld have rushed at him like a danfo conductor screaming "bami gbe wire mi" abi?

Really? Over 120 punches? I didn't watch the match. That means all those who say Ruiz is a better fighter are simply ignorant. 120 punches is a big deal, Ruiz is totally not to be compared with AJ.

Some of them will just want to open mouth and say something. And to think some fools were clicking on like for him makes you wonder if you are in the right country. Same way they come on every political topic and make unreasonable points and you try to correct them or school them on history objectively, na abuse and insult go follow.
