He looks good only problem with him is that he better learn to not straighten up and put his chin in the air when he punches and backs up..he can get away with it now but a boxer with skills will catch him..but he looks good..

Yeah , but that "skilled boxer" won't have much time to work.

I factored Donaire in but he ain't that thing anymore.

LOL..someone will stay in the pocket and launch a counter hook one day might not be at that weight but he will see it one day..

Andy Ruiz wow... Incredible fight by him and yikes at Joshua and DAZN for giving him all that money.

Not surprised in the least. AJ has a glass jaw and is a slow starter. He’s also been avoiding top contenders for a while.
Wilder would murder him. And he and his team knew this.
AJ is incredibly overrated and looking how he’s accepting defeat, I don’t think he has the heart to be a true champion.

Congrats to Ruiz he stood in the pocket faced adversity and did work..Joshua is painfully slow and for a boxee that is as chiseled as him.he gets gassed too much..I dont know how many fighters have to learn that you take big money fights while they are hot without trying to milk it for more money and time..Joshua took too many chances fighting anyone other than Wilder and now he and Dazn have to pay the price..Dazn is stuck and has to pay him that contract..even if he comes back and beats ruiz in a rematch the luster is off the Wilder fight..Wilder almost blew it fighting Ortiz and Fury ..at this point Wilder would destroy Joshua..Spence and Crawford need to take heed and fight before one of them loses..

I was shocked. Ruiz's fast hands, quick counters, and power were underestimated by all.

Joshua never recovered from round three damage. First, the left hook to the temple in mid-round that rubberized his legs and then some very flush direct shots at the very end of the round.

Is it just me or is anyone looking forward to Ruiz-Joshua II at Wembley?

And I say that knowing full well that AJ has been very diminished by tonight's results.
