Parker-Ruiz rematch

I remember the first fight pretty well.

Times have changed ... but does this have any possibility?

I think Andy Ruiz has had an injury and is out of action for a bit.

 

Parker wins again, this time much more easily.

Parker has been active, Ruiz has been inactive and is effectively semi-retired.

 

Was thinking about this fight. What about Parker rematching Joyce or Whyte or Joshua?

 

I don't see Parker losing since there is no such thing as a motivated Ruiz

 

No change in the result and no benefit for Parker's career. Its AJ or nothing.

 

Ruiz doesn't seem to have the punch resistance he once had. Parker could get him out of there.

 

Ruiz is basically retired at this point. He reached the peak, then seemed to lose all motivation for boxing.

 

Ill root for my fat Andy, but I think Parker beats him legit this time. I thought Ruiz won the 1st fight 115-113.

 

Parker beats this absolute hype job who missed the opportunity to beat Wilder by demanding silly money. Tbh I much prefer the Zhang route, it’s a much better fight and Parker won’t have to take the risk of being hung out to dry when Ruiz ducks as he wants more money.

 

Ruiz still presents the same stylistic problems he did before, namely he can punish Parker for his aggression with fast counters. So it won't be an easy nights work for Parker.

But Parker wins again, this time probably more convincingly. Parker has been active like a professional would and Ruiz has been inactive and instead of fighting boxers been fighting with his wife in what will likely be a very messy divorce. Parker just gave the best performance of his career while Ruiz has only gotten worse in recent years so an on form Parker has to be a clear favourite.
