Comments Thread For: Peter Fury: If Joshua Uses Attributes, He Can Topple Andy Ruiz

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Anthony Joshua can follow a simple winning formula as he attempts to gain revenge over Andy Ruiz Jr in their rematch, says trainer Peter Fury.

The British heavyweight star has agreed a second fight with Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia on December 7, live on Sky Sports Box Office, as Joshua seeks to regain his world titles after a shock stoppage loss in June.

What was your verdict on the first Joshua-Ruiz Jr fight?

I don't make a lot of it. Anthony Joshua was bending over, making himself 5'8", so what do I make of that? Box tall. You have seen what he done against Andy Ruiz. Boxed short and got knocked out. Use your attributes.

Were you shocked by Joshua's defeat?

Look, no surprises, I'm not saying because Joshua has got flaws, he has, and he can work on them, but Andy Ruiz Jr has always been a world level fighter. He was a good amateur, forget his body structure, it's not a body building competition.

This is the fight game. Andy Ruiz Jr is a real threat. Look, I had him actually beating (Joseph) Parker in New Zealand. Hughie was to face Andy Ruiz Jr before, they put them together, that fight was made, but Andy Ruiz Jr didn't back out of it, he got the world title, so he took that, understandable.

I had him beating Parker, then obviously after Ruiz, [Parker] made one defence and Hughie got Parker. Basically he is not a mug, Andy Ruiz Jr, and I think AJ realises that, and he knew he was in for a tough night, anyway.

Did AJ overlook Ruiz Jr?

I don't think he underestimated him, I think he overestimated him, because going to America, he knew that this guy who everybody thought ate burgers and he was going to blow him away. He knew in the back of his mind, he was not going to blow him away and I think that played a role in his psyche going into that fight.

Joshua says he doubted himself after losing his world titles to Ruiz Jr
No matter what AJ says after the event, you can see what he was like going into the ring, he was like a rabbit in the headlights. He did not want to be there. He was out of his comfort zone, he knew he was in a serious fight and he just threw the dice on the roulette wheel, and went for it, and it nearly paid off for him.

Should Joshua have taken an immediate rematch?


Yeah, I think it's a wise decision. He's got to step up to the plate and get back in there. I think he can do it
Peter Fury

What should AJ do differently?

Look, use your height, use your boxing. Stop going around in a circle like that, when all your body is totally still. Get some lateral movement from the hips, because it's not just about going around in a circle.

Go that way, go that way, go that way and get on your jab. Be loose. That's all he needs to do, and [Ruiz Jr] will tire out, because look, he'll start throwing caution to the wind.


He's still going to be there, but I think with the power of AJ, if he starts catching him with long shots on the way in, ties him up, uses his weight, he'll win the fight.

Can you predict the ending?

He could get a late stoppage or easily on points, because Andy Ruiz Jr has got the fastest hands in the world, but he's got the slowest feet in the world. He's only got to keep turning him and keep him on that long jab, keep tying him up, and he'll win it, landslide it. Same way as he fought Parker. If he does that, repeats that, he's winning it.

Peter Fury has done well with the strategy Joshua should use to win the rematch but he forgot to add that Joshua needs stamina to outbox Ruiz who has fast hands.
Maybe Eddie Hearn has to bring back the referee who officiated Joshua vs Parker fight.

Here we see A.J's chin being protected at all cost by Giuseppe Quartarone : Joe Parker exposed Joshua's fear of hooks landing on the trade: Joshua's trainer Rob McCracken and promoter Eddie Hearn know that Joshua is a sucker for a hook and A.J's weak chin, lack of heart and insufficient stamina can not tolerate a extended scrap.

Carlos Takam is another example that unveils what Matchroom has been hiding, but don't tell us that Anthony was not motivated for that one either? Laugable.

Disregard what this cretin Peter Fury aka petero says, Tyson fired him for a reason.

This is what I've said in a few threads. I'd be amazed if AJ did anything different than this.

Joshua did box tall . Ruiz worked the jab to the body nicely and was able to close the gap . Wonder if joshua has the stamina to get on the Bicycle if thats how to avoid ruiz . Thats almost what vitali had to do when he avenged his bro vs sanders . At times he literally Ran full speed

Disgusting protection from the ref. I fully expect even Parker will beat AJ if they get in the ring again.

Fury just saying AJ can win rematch if he learns to box.

AJ's must be miles off the pace of the top guys, if a man like Ruiz who is physically disadvanataged can destroy him.

Disgusting protection from the ref. I fully expect even Parker will beat AJ if they get in the ring again.

On a level playing field I also pick Parker to win a rematch vs. A.J, but Joey-Boy is a sucker, he loves getting robbed in the UK and still returns for more vs. Chisora! I'm going to be looking at that one closely.

It reminds me of the Mayweather - Hatton ref.

Giuseppe has just been granted Saudi citizenship.

... everybody can "box tall" until he gets badly hit...
