What a night that was

If Joshua doesn’t find a jab, use distance, and work combinations then he may be toast. Greater than Ruiz’s power is his hand speed, he’s shockingly fast for his frame.

Going to Saudi Arabia is so chickenshit. To me it feels like a way to grab cash and protect Joshua at the same time - have their cake and eat it too. No big pressure to perform in front of a raucous partisan crowd (which hurt him at MSG), and no need to be accountable to a curious media (who likely won’t make the trip in big numbers).
And that’s before you even consider how awful it is in general. For all of these reasons I hope Ruiz plays spoiler again and bursts the bubbles of Eddie Hearn and Anthony Joshua once more.

I’ve done a 180 on Joshua and have realized he isn’t made of the same stuff Fury and Wilder are made of. I don’t even think a victorious outcome in this fight will change that opinion. He’s fragile in spirit.
