    Joshua was preparing to face Jarell Miller, who is also pressure fighter like Andy Ruiz. Why Joshua team making excuses Joshua wasn't ready for Ruiz? I don't buy it.

    I've changed my mind that Joshua doesn't have the legs and chin to go the distance with Ruiz. Joshua isn't mover like Joseph Parker who went distance with Ruiz. Joshua isn't as durable as Parker.

    The only concern is the referee who refd Klitschko-Povetkin clinchfest. Joshua might get special treatment that way. But Ruiz seems to know the game. He is heavier and explosive in the clinches, so it won't be problem.

    Ruiz knows he can hurt Joshua. Don't be shocked if he steps forward and stops Joshua even faster this time.

    Not too late to change your mind again and stop following the mainstream AJ underestimation brigade lol

    I find it hilarious that everyone and their dog expect a 1:1 replay. It happened in fight one so it must happen in fight two, round by round the same thing.

    AJ isn’t mover like Parker but he still beat him. Ruiz won due to a lucky concussion punch that ****ed AJ up for the rest of the fight after the first knock down.

    Whilst I think AJ will do better this time, the concern is when he would land a big punch in the first fight it just made Ruiz angry and he got hurt. He is used to them falling, not coming back with blistering combinations damn near knocking him out of the ring. The lighter weight as well could have a negative effect on his punch resistance. I think AJ has tried to hard in his preparation, the only way Ruiz loses is if he doesn't have the same determination, to get hit very hard and comeback with something.

    Ruiz was outboxing AJ even before the so called lucky punch. Ruiz better skilled man in the ring.

    Wait, you actually believe Andy Ruiz and Jarrel Miller have the same style? log off.

    Did Hearn get the Referee from the pathetic Klitschko vs Povetkin fight for the AJ vs Blob rematch??

    AJ had something like five weeks to get ready for Ruiz. That's a pretty long time. Plenty of time to watch the films, get a feel for his style and work in things in the gym.

    AJ is a professional boxer and supposedly at the top of the cheap. Five weeks should be plenty long enough to get ready for a guy like Ruiz.

    I think there's a decent chance AJ takes the rematch but the excuse he didn't have time to prepare is a bit worn.

    Its funny people making excuses for chinny girl AJ whereas Ruiz took AJ's best shots and was still able to fight on. Only one guy was Alpha that night

    Joshua is a Glass Jawed fighter.

    Ruiz rolled under AJ's punches, took a slight sidestep to create the required angle, threw and landed a big left hand. All of this while doing something hardly any other boxer has had the skill or nerve to do so - punch WITH Joshua.

    It had nothing to do with luck...

    Set-Up... that Referee allowed Waldo Klit to wrestle, hold, jab & grab, throw Povetkin to the canvas, lay on Povetkin, Full-Tilt Octopuss Tactics!!

    Weighing in over 280 gives me a clue about Andy's determination
