    I wonder what cup size Ruiz is? FF or G cup? How did the bodybuilder lose to this chubby specimen? At least Deontay survived the knockdown from Dustin Nichols! Lol

    He got badly rocked by Whyte and Povetkin, although neither were at their best at the time either. The Parker fight was a joke with that blatantly corrupt ref.

    The rematch is too soon for him. Stupid move. Will be like when Price rematched that guy.

    Laying out how the fight will play out, and then the fight playing out exactly how I said it play out, isn't a fluke.

    Oh god you're a virulent anti-Trumper (the guy is a good politician, get over it) and an AJ fanboy, go figure that you buy into silly narratives, the second Parker got close to AJ the ref broke it up. That wasn't fair officiating.

    I'll be cheering for Ruiz but if AJ can learn to fight off the backfoot and keep Ruiz at range he has every chance of wining the rematch.

    If he tries to mix it up (especially early) with Ruiz he's running a big risk of Ruiz landing 6-12 more lucky punches and demolishing him.

    It's clear that Ruiz has a great chin and is fearless in the ring. AJ does not want to go to war with this guy until he's busted up at range.

    Yeah like Wlad's, it's rehearsed unlike Vitali's intimidating staredown. Buddy of mine was getting his beers ready upon Vitali walking in for some fight and accidentally bumped into the big fella who just gave him his fight-ready serious face... and my buddy swears he almost shat his pants. :lol:

    Here Ruiz is not only unintimidated but looks like he's having a fun time. Good nerves on him.

    Wilder has a decent jab when he flicks it out there, but like Joshua he does like to keep it out there. These guys today are not using the jab properly at the high level. Wilder still has a good jab- but he usually chooses to use it as a range finder and then he drops his right hand in. He doesn't need anything else. His jab is quick and measuring. He sticks it out there and down goes the right -quick and he would find Ruiz' chin probably, but if not he will use the jab like he did at times even against Ortiz.

    Ruiz is being overrated now. Joshua really did not fight a good fight and didn't look experienced at holding or even using his size to hold Ruiz and clinch and control the action. As for Wilder. I don't think that is a tough fight for Wilder. Or Fury? Troubling? Maybe a little, but Ruiz would be beaten by both. Ruiz is not that great defensively. Joshua was exchanging with him and Ruiz was faster on the inside and was landing some punches and then when he was inside he would throw more punches once he had Joshua backing up and on the defensive. Joshua has to fight him more from range and double jab and back up Ruiz, yet keep his eyes open. Everytime Ruiz makes a move jab him and bring the jab back. No lazy jab like last time. Can you imagine Larry Holmes against Ruiz? What a mismatch. Tyson vs. Ruiz? Fury vs. Ruiz. Everything Ruiz did well was what Joshua did not that night. He never had to fight a guy like that. I hope he has the right training and he will do fine. Come out jab to the head and body up and down and double jab upstairs and wait for the counter when Ruiz steps inside, but don't get impatient. If he can win a jabbing decision do it.. Don't exchange on the inside. Keep it an outside fight, and when he gets inside hold. I hope Joshua wins. This whole Ruiz overrating thing is a little too much.

    Hit the nail on the head! Ruiz the super champ who despite rocking AJ hard, was unable to finish the fight for another 3 rounds against a guy who didn't know where he was.

    The super champ was also put on his arse before the lucky punch by AJ "the bum"

    It was one time, hence a fluke.

    And it's not like you had detailed commentary on how each round will play out, stop overplaying yourself.

    "He goes down in the nth round" pretty common thing to hear at a betting shop.

    Anyways, speak to you on December 8th.

    AJ took Ruiz best shots, and kept getting up... so clearly AJ can take a punch.

    The rematch will be a massacre once AJ times his shots, he will use an age old war technique of peppering and powdering the enemy before going in for the kill.

    Two things will happen on December 7th, AJ will regain his belts and CST80 will lose face .

    "Ruiz if he can play it safe and ultra defensive"
    But Ruiz did not play it safe or ultra defensive
    Fail prediction = 1

    "AJ will start dropping his hands"
    AJ did not drop his hands, unless throwing a punch is considered dropping the hands, he was caught midflight with his exchanges, and beaten to the punch.
    Fail prediction = 1

    "fat boy can pound the head with overhands late"
    Well he started from round 3, but he did use a lot of overhands, I'm generous I'll give you this.
    Correct (near enough) prediction =1

    "Late TKO victory for Tubby."
    7th round is not late, it is mid.
    Fail prediction = 1

    "Ruiz offense can be his defense"
    Correct prediction = 1

    "AJ might seize up and get scared"
    Erm, no he did not seize up, he fought on, and kept losing on exchanges.
    Fail prediction = 1

    "AJ might defend too much and not look for the counter"
    Nope, he did not get defensive, he kept repeating the mistake of getting into heated exchanges with the faster man, over and over
    Fail prediction = 1

    "AJ will eat something big along the way"
    He did indeed.
    Correct Prediction = 1

    -----------------------------
    Name: CST80

    Tally = 3/8 predictions correct

    Prediction accuracy = 37.5%

    What you don't seem to realise is that Ruiz has a granite chin. He took Joshua's best shots and just walked him down. The best that Joshua can hope for is what happened in Wlad vs Peter I, hang on for dear life.
