Andy Ruiz Jr. has only been the heavyweight champ for a few days, after shocking the world with his less than stellar physique. Now Ruiz is punching against TV heavyweights.
ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith had some words on Monday, Ruiz responded.
Smith’s comments came a day after Ruiz shocked the world by knocking out Anthony Joshua on Saturday.
OMG! OMG! I cannot believe this S$&@$! Anthony Joshua — holder of 3 belts, gets TKO’d by Butter Bean…….I mean some dude named Andy Ruiz JR. What a damn disgrace. Joshua looked completely gassed! More fatigued than hurt! Now how in the Hell did you let that happen? How?

Smith continued his rant by saying he was upset boxing fans didn’t get to see Joshua and Deontay Wilder. Smith said he was “disgusted” Wilder didn’t deliver the knockout.
I watched the fight 3x. Look, Ruiz is good. Solid boxer. Fast hands. But everyone’s missing the point: THE FIGHT we were all waiting for — Wilder vs. Joshua — is officially ruined. No one with sense believes Joshua has a chance vs him now, even if he goes back and beats Ruiz.

Ruiz responded to Smith by pointing out that he’s been around the boxing scene for over 10 years.
The 29-year-old Ruiz also called out Smith’s lack of boxing knowledge.
@stephenasmith I encourage you to do your research before insulting my career. I know boxing isn’t your lane but if you are gonna talk about boxing please study and know what you are saying. https://t.co/xa4xSCZvBG

Smith has responded to that by telling Ruiz he didn’t insult his career, just his weight.
What I questioned was A.) How you looked physically (all due respect…..as has everyone else) and the fact that a megafight was ruined because Anthony Joshua got his butt whipped by you. A Megafight isn’t just about the fighters themselves, but who people are actually salivating

What a nice guy.
Once again Stephen A. Smith has done his job.
The Job of a professional Troll is never an easy one.
