Why a rematch next? I know AJ is still the "money" guy and former champion but he was beaten soundly tonight. Let Ruiz Jr explore/defend against some other opponents. Instead of AJ cowering back to UK, he should rematch Ruiz in the States next year.
Because the fight was great. AJ was very much in the fight. He was not blown out. In the round he was hurt, it looked like he was about to finish the fight. He got careless, got caught, and never recovered.
also everyone else is tied up anyway... fury and wilder both tied up...so aj vs ruiz jr is the obvious fight to make in december
By when December rolls around, Fury and Whyte should be free. Know that Fury is likely to never happen but more likely than previously. Maybe even Hughie Fury or Chisora. What about Gorman/Dubois winner, still a decent fight in the UK to rebuild on maybe. As for Ruiz, he has options in US like Hunter or maybe even a Parker rematch.
The rematch should only be taking place in USA or Meixco. You know why? Because Andy Ruiz Jr is the freaking champion of the world baby!
I thought people were overrating Joshua big time...but I didn't really believe Ruiz had it in him ahha fantastic
Disagree 100%. Ruiz had AJ's number from round 1, and was backing him up. AJ was never in this fight.
This. Both guys showed up to fight. AJ wanted make a big splash in the states and he did. It’ll be interesting to see if Joshua can make the necessary adjustments and win his titles back.
It was good to see both go at it, but kind of bad for boxing that this happened at what is supposed to be top level.
