Prior to the fight Ruiz was Mexican, post fight he was Mexican-American and after the second fight he'll go back to being Mexican again.
He won’t Outland or outthrow ruiz in any round. That’s why I knew Joshua would never beat Andy in a legit dec.
↑ Prior to the fight Ruiz was Mexican, post fight he was Mexican-American and after the second fight he'll go back to being Mexican again. Pretty sure Andy has been American/Mexican the whole time. USA first Mexico second. He’s no laraza idiot.
Ruiz got outpunched at range by Joseph Parker. There are clear and followable game plans Joshua can take if he wants to win here.
Essentially this. He needs to jab him from range and tie him up or push him off when in close. It'll look ugly as hell and probably cause the crowd to boo, but it'll win him the fight and no one will care how he performed after that.
He got constant pressure from Povetkin and dealt with it just fine. His problems in the first fight were almost entirely due to his getting caught on the top of the head when going in for the kill. He wasn't expecting to be hit at that point and it scrambled his senses to the point when he was wide open for Ruiz's attacks. Ruiz is extremely dangerous in close, but he sucks at mid to long range, so if Joshua keeps him at the end of his jab and doesn't try to go for the KO he should win fairly comfortably.
Of course AJ can beat him. AJ overlooked Ruiz, not an excuse but a fact. He thought he’d turn up a just over power Ruiz and paid for it dearly but that won’t happen in the rematch. The fire inside is burning again and AJ goes into the rematch having left no stone unturned in preparation
