Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz: I'll Be Lighter For Joshua Rematch; 255 Is Goal

[_Rexy_]

Even online bets ????

That’s a bit of a grey area...just pulled this from the web

“the law states that companies should not operate any illegal online ******** service within Canada. However, it does not specify anything about Canadian players and residents playing such games and partaking in online ********”

So I guess if I wanted to place an online bet with another countries site I could, but then who knows if they would pay out to someone international? Not to mention what shady sites would I use?

Then you hear the story about how Donaire’s father placed a big bet on him to beat Burnett and then they didn’t pay out. Sure it’s only $250 but if I won the bet and didn’t get paid I’d be livid.

Yeah, ILLEGAL ******** sites are bad

If the odds are right, it might be worth it to find legitimate online ******** sites. They do exist.

I can't wait for things to go back to normal

Andy Ruiz weighed 268 when he challenged Anthony Joshua in their first encounter, the last time he weighed this much was in 2014 against Kenny Lemos. Ruiz reached 272¾ pounds then -- ten fights ago.

Ruiz dominated Joshua the longer the fight went on, despite the extra weight. In spite of Andy's poor condition, I never seen him having a hard time staying on his feet from exhaustion alone, like Anthony Joshua.

I think the odds (right now) are 3/1 for Joshua. Those are really good IMO considering how the last match went down.

But ****, if I could have made a legal bet for the last fight...

I don’t think I’ve seen Andy gassed either. He paced himself against Parker because it was his first 12 rounder and it cost him.

But most guys pace themselves in their first 12 rounder. Its why it would have helped to have him fight for some regional titles. But then there no guarantee those fights go the distance either.

Really? was it that bad? I must of missed it. Funny you mentioned Joseph Parker because Andy wants to come in at that weight precisely ( 255 ) for A.J -- You would think he was in shape considering he was fighting at a peak weight, and that it was for his first world title opportunity.

He spit out his mouth guard, turned his back on the ref and walked to his corner. Then as the ref said twice “turn around and face me” he finally did, and put his arms on the ropes and stood there ignoring the refs questions until finally whispering “yes”

So if he didn’t quit, then the fight should have been stopped since Joshua didn’t know where he was, what he was doing or who he was.

And remember that I told you Ruiz would be joshua’s biggest test to date, and that if the judging was right he would get a UD. Don’t act like I just discovered Ruiz after the first fight.

... That's how it happened... (AJ was also waiting for the ref to call his corner to fix that mouth piece... which the ref didn't do... )

Was what bad? Andy pacing himself? I had Andy winning the fight 8-4 personally. I just meant that he fought a more conservative fight, as if he was worried that he would gas in the later rounds (he didn’t)

In my post that you responded to, I said I never seen Andy being in such bad shape that I seen him to the point of struggling to stay on his feet from exhaustion, like Anthony Joshua in previous fights.

From your reply I thought that what you said. I understand now.

I picked Parker but latter admitted Andy beat him when I reviewed the film. I was scoring it live with maybe a handful of people on NSB live, as the fight was during the later hours in the U.S because they fought in New Zealand ( if I remember correctly ).

Ruiz's strenght is being so fast despite being chubby. Loosing weight won't improve this even further, while it coild make him less powerful...
