I think the talk of future fights, wilder signing up Ortiz and Fury maybe a factor. He was so into making a statement that the plan went out the window. I think he gassed after trying to take Ruiz out after the first knock down. There didnt seem to be a plan B other than the jab jab hook they mentioned earlier on in the week. I hope Joshua comes back stronger and does the business. Whilst there are a lot of detractors out there but there is no denying he can inspire the next generation and demonstrates what it is to be true sportsman/ professional ( in winning and losing).
I reckon Ruiz’s phone is ringing with Parker, Whyte, Usyk and Klitchko on the other end.
Reminds me of the other fight with the fat guy winning against the adonis at heavyweight 🙂
