RE: Order restored as AJ regains Heavyweight Title

in #boxing5 years ago

I wasn't that impressed by AJs performance.
He went "safe"....
Sticking to his gameplan or scared to go "mano a mano"
with a mexican fighter ?
Deontay Wilder will k.o. AJ

Sort:  

I'd say AJ fought smart. Ruiz had no answer for AJs movement. It was for Ruiz to change the momentum of the fight and he didn't. I think it would have been foolish for Joshua to move away from the gameplan and risk getting caught trading again.

Wilder definitely has a chance of getting the ko against Joshua however Wilder has never fought a puncher like Joshua. It could come down to who tags who first, and I could easily see Joshua knocking out Wilder before Wilder gets a chance to land his straight right hand.

I guess if you just got k.o.ed by Ruiz, fighting "safe" is fighting "smart" ;)
Basically you are right, but i would have liked to see AJ gettin' at least
a knock down on Ruiz...
Wilder and AJ, yeah everything could happen, but i would put my money
on Wilder. I think he got more "Killer Instinct"
Thanks for your answer ;)
