Before a certain apari Raumdeuter, will start telling lies about the official man of the match.

This is official from uefa and not by one Ogbomosho Guardian newspapers:

Liverpool defender Virgil van dijk was named UEFA Champions League final man of the match by the UEFA Technical Observers.

Mohamed Salah, Divock Origi and even Jürgen Klopp will no doubt take the headlines, but van dijk was at the heart of yet another commanding display from the Reds. His calm permeated across the back line and no doubt played a huge role in yet another clean sheet.

Thomas Schaaf, leader of the UEFA Technical Observers in Madrid, said: "van dijk showed outstanding leadership and was Liverpool's best defender. He made crucial interventions when needed and played with a cool head throughout."

UEFA technical observers: Thomas Schaaf, Peter Rudbaek, David Moyes, Raúl González, Packie Bonner, Michael O'Neill, Gareth Southgate, Roberto Martínez and Ginés Meléndez.[b][/b]

I told you guys then that AJ does not have Wilder’s single punch power.
And now we can finally confirm that AJ has a suspect chin.

It's not even punch power. What AJ lacks is stamina and the chin. He actually caught Ruiz that first time but got his angles horribly wrong.

AJ is capable of hitting much harder than this. His cardio is suspect. By the 3rd he was already breathing via his mouth

Joshua and his struggles with shorter fighters sha.
He can work on that but unfortunately a suspect chin is amuwa olorun.
See as his legs dey wobble like Fido Dido.

Cardio can’t be suspect in Round 4 of a slow paced match. Was he training on burgers?

We all know AJ has suspect cardio but this was all about a very suspect chin.

And like I always said Wilder has more knockout power. That one should not be an argument again.

Lool guy AJ has a suspect cardio. It's not this fight e start. He got away with it in the Povetkin fight and the Klitschko fight but credit to Ruiz he stayed on his asssss like a rash

When you start breathing via your mouth by round 3 you will definitely not be coordinated to absorb blows and get your legs under you

Nah nah nah. I no dey watch boxing until further notice. Anthony Joshua, what da....

You obviously didn’t read what I typed.

We all know he has suspect cardio. That he has poor stamina is not news.

But what does suspect cardio have to do with wobbling in round 4, 5 after getting hit. It was all about his chin.
Mind you Round 1-3 they were mainly hugging and exchanging few jabs.

Joshua can’t take a punch. His chin did him in, not his stamina.

He had enough cardio to knock Ruiz down and go for the kill himself. It was after Ruiz knocked him down that he started wobbling all over the place like Osuofia in a 1990s Nollywood movie.

I agreed his chin was suspect hell I even called him Sagamu Frank Bruno but I said his cardio also played a role.

He could barely move around the ring after the first hit. If it was only his chin that was the issue he wouldn't get up that many times. My point is his bad cardio meant he couldn't defend himself he couldn't hit Ruiz nor could he get out of the way.

If he ever faces Wilder what I feared might happen.
He would lead on points because he is the superior boxer until he walks into Wilder’s oath-keeper.

And if Ruiz can turn him into the village drunkard what will Wilder do to him?

Oga that's not the point. This is Heavyweight level and everybody gets hit! I've seen AJ deal with worse hits. My point is he looked gassed even before the hit. His rubbish cardio was why he couldn't get past being hit and had zero chance of getting into the fight

Fair point. The guy has been exposed. No chin, no stamina and he is fighting amongst giants.

The only way out for him is to work on his defence and learn how to avoid flush hits, cos he can’t face Wilder with that glass jaw.

We will have to agree to disagree. You think it was more cardio it seems, and I think it was more chin.

If it was round 8 or beyond maybe one can say more of cardio, not 1st 4 rounds after scoring a knockdown yourself.
A glass jaw is what it is.

Very disappointing. He obviously underestimated Ruiz, and of course he paid the iron price.

Go and watch the Povetkin fight again. I'm telling you what I observed from his previous fight as well. He was slow and lethargic and in this fight too he lacked the sharpness to even get at Ruiz after knocking him down.

It speaks to how sluggish he was that he could not evade Ruiz and was essentially a sitting duck the final 4 rounds. It was watching a car crash in slow motion. Bear in mind he lost the first two rounds if you ask me

I haven't said AJ didn't have a glass chin so I'm not arguing that

That would be unfortunate. One recurring theme about Ruiz was his hand speed and I saw it tonight. His punching power I won't say is exceptional but he moves forward and is a very fast puncher for a Heavyweight

I watched the Povetkin fight this morning.
He started sluggishly and then got better. He also started sluggishly in this one as well, and I would agree with you he lost the 1st 2 rounds too.

However starting sluggishly and losing rounds 1 and 2 have to do with sharpness and not cardio.
Why would you get exhausted in Rd 1?

He was sluggish because his brain was muddled up. Lol
Ruiz reset his brain stem.

Na Charlamagne Tha God dey vex me now sef.
The guy go so laff AJ.
AJ is worse than Amaka.
