Joshua by decision in a stinker. He'll box behind his jab and play it ultra safe, neutralising Ruiz. Every so often he'll catch Ruiz with a big one, maybe an uppercut or a straight right, then try to tie up immediately afterwards. Fight likely has a few close moments where it looks like Joshua is going to get clobbered again, but he successfully weathers the storm this time and pulls out a UD.
AJ wins TKO. Loses to USYK who is the mandatory for the Ruiz/AJ winner. Fury beats Wilder. Fury vs Usyk end of 2020. Usyk king of heavyweight boxing.
Oh they both strike me as gentlemen from what I've seen on their interviews. If you put boxing business aside, they're like one of the boys.
Andy put in so much work since being screwed in New Zealand. I never heard him ***** once about that decision. He just got more determined and dedicated. People who didn’t see ruiz Joshua coming just werent paying attention and wrote Andy off because of his physique. Anybody who knew Andy and saw him on a consistent basis knew without a doubt joshua or wilder were or would be a snack for Andy.
Whilst Ruiz won the first fight fairly convincing, you cant help but ask yourself - what if Joshua never went in for the kill leaving himself so open? Yes Joshua looked a little off in the opening rounds. However, all that talk of Joshua being off vanished once he knocked down Ruiz as I believe Joshua became 100% when he went in for the kill. I'm tipping for AJ to be a lot more cautious. I'm not sure Ruiz can create an opportunity for himself as we must remember that the opportunity that presented itself against Joshua was not Ruiz doing but IMO, more of AJ becoming slightly complacent.
Ruiz by tko again. Ruiz didn't pull a Rahman vs. Lennox I where he hail married and landed. He beat him up for much of the fight. Without an interim match for Joshua to see what he's changed as far as tactics we really don't have much reason to believe anything is gonna change other than him "trying" to not get hit. Then again, I could be completely off. Brant dominated Murata in the first fight and we all know what happened in that rematch..........
Ruiz will KO him. His hands are too fast for Joshua and he has no answer for his counter punches, nor the chin to withstand them.
