I think he’ll probably come in about 5-6ib lighter than he was in New York. It won’t be as dramatic as some people think, I reckon about 241-242ib but that still makes a lot of difference in terms of speed and stamina. Think Ruiz will come in about 262ib.
Was contemplating that but I have an extreme personality where I either bet nothing or bet everything I own. So no gambling for me. But yes, Ruiz is the value here for sure!
Fascinating fight. One minute I think Joshua looks drained and is mentally struggling, the next he looks in beast mode like he is focused and ready to take this guys head off. I simply cant tell if AJ is going to completely demolish Ruiz in a few rounds, or if he will be exposed completely again. I'm liking what I see from AJ though, I still pick Ruiz but AJ's focus and determination is hard to discount here, its possible he might be a compleelty different animal to the one in the first fight.

Only 3 days and 22 hours to go, lads. @CST80 hello sir, is there any chance you can release @CutThroatFade from his ban? He’d be gutted to be missing this fight week and RBR and he’s a top poster.
I didn't ban him, and mods don't lift other mods bans. But I'll put in a good word for him to the mod who did, so... hope for the best.
Agree. Unless there is something we have not seen, it is harsh to keep him away from the main event. Dillian had an adverse finding and yet can fight on the undercard of the big one. CTF ought to get same treatment.
AJ to box smart for 12 and possibly go in for the kill in the championship rounds. I still find it strange how Ruiz shot to the temple completely ruined AJ but klitschko shot that dropped AJ looked much worse but he recovered I do think the dawejko sparring concussion story has some truth
I am really interested to see the tactics from both fighters early on. I will properly be completely wrong in saying this, but either way I think it will go the distance, or late. Whatever Joshua's tactics I am sure he will either try to keep it medium to long range. If Ruiz fights him at short range he wins. I feel Joshua should use the Vladimer Klitchsko tactic of keeping Ruiz at range with the jab and when Ruuz gets in past it to lean in and hold. Might be boring but I think it's his best option.
I’m the same. I think Ruiz is going to do what he did the 1st fight, which is apply educated pressure, try to close that distance & offer his chin as tempting bait for Joshua to throw a shot so that he falls in a little and Ruiz can ambush him with hooks. Joshua has to keep stepping back so he can control the distance with the jab and try and time the straight right then clinch. The thing with the clinch is that Ruiz had some success working the body in the 6th when Joshua tried to clinch. The shot took what was left of Joshua. I’ve backed Ruiz but Joshua has the attributes to lay Ruiz out. I’d be daft to say that Joshua has no chance. He can stop Ruiz or he could get a decision. Joshua was doing ok in the lead up to the knockdown but at the same time, Ruiz was making him work harder than he wanted to. I can’t wait for this.
I'm really looking forward to it too mate, but not as much as Fury Wilder 2. I can see this fight going either way but I have a gut feeling Joshua is going to win. One thing for sure, Ruiz wont get decision if it goes to points, even if he should do.
Fascinating mate Thank you Now be a nice spam bot and jog on to a forum that might fall for your nonsense
