    He put Ruiz down first, so that will play in his mind too as a positive. Besides Ruiz post interview said "Joshua punches hard man, like really really hard."

    So AJ knows he can KO Ruiz... it's just a case of timing, and setting it up intelligently... not looking for it as usual. He is still learning.

    That gluttonous blob Ruiz literally had the Joshua on his dinner plate. With each exchange the bodybuilder struggled to fend him off. So much for Joshua 's enormous power. Ruiz should stick a fork in him, Anthony's done. Lol

    He actually has something wrong with him. I can't reply to him anymore. He's been dealt with time and time again but he doesn't get it at all, probably the Dunning-Kruger effect. He's even talking about communicating via sign language on an internet forum now, the whacko

    Corrie Sanders was literally laying by his pool drinking a soda when he got the call on short notice to fight Waldo Klitschko ... Sanders dropped Klitschko in round 1 and finished him in round 2...

    I think Ruiz could train on Crispy Cream Donuts while laying by his pool and still beat AJ in the rematch...

    Hearn will pull out all the Cards he has in his crooked dealings to secure an AJ victory but if Ruiz and his team are cautious it won't be enough to save AJ from more Crawling Around on the Canvas again!!

    Someone's taking sense! Glad you mentioned Ruiz's parrying skill. That and his chin makes him an awful opponent. It's clear he a workhorse in the gym.

    Ive seen the fight a number of times now and I cannot see a way to victory in the rematch for AJ.

    It was too comprehensive, yes AJ shaded the first couple of rounds and yes he got a KD because Ruiz squared up and took AJ'S best combination square on.

    But let's be real as soon as the "fight" started it was just all Ruiz. AJ isn't a good enough back foot boxer to play keep away all night, he's not fluid on the back foot, he looks awkward and uncomfortable and shaky. He's not a fluid mover like Fury, nor does he have an elite level jab like klitschko to create a danger zone which ruiz will be hesitant to plow through.

    His other issue, I do feel Ruiz will be vulnerable in the final third of the fight, but Joshua has terrible stamina himself so a strategy of survive then unload late probably won't work.

    I've said before the only way I see Ruiz losing is if he himself gets complacent, thinks he doesn't have to worry about AJ'S power and walks into a combination again. Yes he got up and recovered well last time but a couple of extra % behind the shots, and a few mm different landing spot and we are talking about a different fight, even something like an AJ right hand smashing ruiz nose to pieces early in the fight would be a game changer, so yeah Ruiz needs to be diligent.

    Not even remotely a fluke. Ruiz won in all departments that night. It may have been a once off but by no means a fluke

    That’s pretty much the reason why I’m surprised AJ is taking this rematch so quickly, there were stylistic issues there that you can’t just write off by saying Ruiz got lucky. What stood out to me overall watching this fight was that Ruiz was the more natural fighter, and he responded as a fighter should when hurt or under fire, he could think. AJ had a look on his face a few times in this fight that said “this isn’t in the script, what is going on, I’m the star here!?” I can’t place the time stamp right now but saw that look.

    I just can’t see why AJ would want to get in there and risk a humiliating loss again, he must be either so sure of himself of there is something funny going on.

    At this point you are just deflecting badly.

    Bottom line, AJ gets his belts back on December.

    CST80 and yourself can hold hands and help each other get through the aftermath/ reality of that outcome.

    So what's the difference between a fluke and once off, genius?

    It's a symptom of the era we are in, with social media, forums, youtube, the ldbc etc etc

    He would be massacred if he didn't take the rematch, in previous eras he would have been able to get away with it but it doesn't work that way anymore.

    I haven't entirely ruled out an "injury" happening in this training camp, it'd be one that puts him out for say 9 months so he could lie low and see how the landscape looks. That's really the only way he could avoid a rematch and have a half believable reason for it.
