    Ruiz stops him again. What can AJ really do differently in just 6 months?

    Im picking Ruiz. It was the manner of the victory,Joshua cant improve his flaws of not moving off centre line after throwing in such a short space of time. Ruiz has a granite chin,has faster hands and will be extremely confident.

    Ruiz knows how to fight the bigget guy. AJ can try all he wants to keep Ruiz on the outside with the jab, but Ruiz knows how to get out of the way and close the gap. Ruiz punches with his opponent. AJ isn't used to that. AJ has become accustom to opponents going on the defensive when he attacks. This is why AJ has been able to work and get out unscathed. Ruiz won't let that happen and it will make all the difference.

    AJ by KO before the 8th.

    Although Joshua’s canned corporate responses to every question are really annoying it is hard to dislike him...and Ruiz is a great guy, so laid back and easygoing.

    I find it very hard to dislike either of these guys but I hope Ruiz wins as I have $400 on him at 26 to 1 to KO Joshua in the 6th round ($10,400 if it happens).

    I would go with AJ, and by TKO because Ruiz will try to rush but this time Joshua will make some adjustment and catch him for good. I have some concern with his discipline though. It has been said he gets hurt in sparring and he drinks a lot. Lastly, the bookmakers are hugely favoring Joshua to win this rematch so if there is something secret to know I am sure the bookies would know and in that case I think we can be confident AJ will win. And there is the contract with DAZN. In case the fight gets to a close decision money will be a factor. Ruiz has some abilities but he will never be a good seller for the sport.

    Bookies often go with the conventional wisdom.
    And seem to pick a horse confidently so they can maximize profit margine-though it is a gamble, forgive the obvious reference.

    Ruiz not good for profiting boxing? Nonsense.
    He is a very personable, kind everyman. Who fat guys can identify with. Natural & humble, if he wins it will be seen as a non-fluke & he shall be celebrated even more.

    You really dont think so?!

    Thats not even hard to do. Its boxing ABC really...Joshua simply has not needed to do it before because of his usual size and power advantage. Thus not practice on it on a daily basis.

    Agreed. Man needs titanium balls to straggle the fence this long, but hey! Too many factors for & against to come to a logical conclusion.
    Oh, wait you just say too many intangibles, point already made!

    lol@"not hard to do". I guess the world missed your triumphant victory over Ruiz, bud. Hes having to undo years and years of overwhelming guys without having to use his feet,now hes had only a few months to recalibrate his muscle memory.

    Think 50/50 fight, went with Ruiz by KO because I have to make a choice here.

    If Joshua wins through, it will be a hell of a win, and I think he will get the respect for it.

    This is the easily the fight of the year for me.

    Ruiz by KO for me.

    Though I give AJ a 40% chance - especially if the ref interferes.
