In my opinion as a "hater" they need to stop with this "strength and power routine" which I have been saying for a while.
Did Joe look strong and powerful tonight? Nope. He never got ruiz attention with a shot, same against Takam. If you aren't a brutal, concussion puncher, you can't keep guts like that from charging in, so you have to be able to step off and let them charge thin air.
He looked the same in that department as ever but more slow and flat footed.
Go back to the days of the Botha fight, the fluidity and speed.
Stop the weight training and concentrate on footspeed drills, movement, fluidity.
Those are his strengths, maximize them.
Had he been lighter on his feet and more fluid with his shots he wouldn't have had the issues he did tonight and would have won wide.
But I'm just a stupid hater so who knows.
