      @Godder From a boxing point of view, that is a concern, maybe if anyone can not be distracted from that , it is him , but I think it makes more sense to get involved in that tomfoolery when you are retired

        @kiwiinmelb Clear marketing ploy to raise his profile in the States.

          Agreed, but I guess if he's paid enough, he probably doesn't care.

                  According to wikipedia he never got back to them and they went with Foreman . Hogan has a grill out now too, doesn't seem to be doing too well.

                      Wow wee. Had forgotten this fight was even on and little (or even no) coverage on the news here.

                      Ortiz looked well in control there and then bam...goooone

                        I watched this at the pub and was with mates on a pub crawl so didn't see as much as I would have liked.

                        What I did see was a superior boxer once again get sloppy and knocked out by a sloppy boxer that saw an opening and took it. Hardest hitter on the planet.

                            Wilder is always behind on the cards , never seen a fighter so content to sit there the way he does, then wait for the opportunity to throw his money punch, that straight right ,

                            The funny thing was , he threw it just the once , thats all it took

                                Same for me. Think AJ is gonna be way more prepared re what to expect and bring his A game. Ruiz is unique tho so still could cause AJ problems

                                  AJ is done I reckon, mentally shot, rumour is he had a panic attack before the first Ruiz fight. He'll lose this then retire. He doesn't even really like boxing, he was manufactured into the sport, he'll take the $$$ and run.

                                    The other rumour is that he was KO'd in training and wasn't fully recovered when he fought Ruiz. Him and Eddy denied it but would explain why he might have had a panic attack prior and his dad was pissed.

                                        I found the comments by Tyson Fury amusing.

                                        'Everyone has a bogeyman in their career, I think personally that Ruiz Jr is the bogeyman for Joshua.'

                                          Will certainly be interesting to see if the rumours were true. Personally I think AJ just wasn't used to someone not showing him respect. Ruiz was relentless and kept pressing forward even when tagged. AJ was confused.
