    Going with AJ tonight. Gonna jab jab move around. Use distance and range outboxing from a distance. Use his reach and jab to to Hurt Ruiz in mid rounds and stop Ruiz tonight. From rounds 6-8 i do not see this going past 8 . i also see him dropping Ruiz before stopping him and finishing him with combination . i feel AJ will be more patient and let the knockout come this time instead of rushing him


    Joshua KO 6-8

    I look for AJ to get him. Andy is a good fighter but Joshua will show that he is a class better tonight. Should win via KO. Don’t see this going the distance. Pulling for Andy though. I Want to see the PBC champs face off next year.

    The bookers hugely favor Joshua to win by KO.
    4.17 for win by decision
    1.80 for win by KO

    Bookers also slightly favor the fight to stop before 7.5 rounds.

    Joshua KO 6 is my prediction

    Was picking Ruiz but I'm really dissapointed in his weight. Wasted potential.

    Considering switching but I'll stick with Ruiz, I just don't think the body builder is any good. He's been riding on an Olympic medal that he didn't deserve ever since he turned pro.

    Ruiz still has the far better skillset so I'll stick with my pick, but I'm far less confident than I was before the weigh in.

    I smell Buster Douglas v Evander Holyfield all over again. I'm going with the man who came prepared. Joshua in 4.

    AJ by stoppage. I think he gets the job done this time, about 7-8 rounds.

    Douglas beat Tyson, not Holyfield. Ruiz beat Joshua, and he beat Holyfield in sparring.

    Not convinced by that look on AJ’s face. Ruiz doesn’t look all that different to me. He may bulldoze him.

    Checkjab, I was referring to Douglas -after thumping Tyson - showing up for Holyfield an out of shape mess.

    If Ruiz came in close to his last weight, it's a 50.50 fight. Now I see Joshua using his legs and jab more, softening Ruiz in the process and stopping him in rounds 7-9.

    Or course Ruiz can pull Buster Douglas, get hit by one punch and opt not to get up. Please don't tell me how much he's making for this fight.
