    I dont agree that Ruiz can just pile on as much weight as he likes with no effect on him. It’s another stone of tub to carry around and I just can’t see a benefit. It’s plainly obvious he’s been dining out a bit too much and hasn’t managed to take the weight off again.

    Going for Josh to win via KO around 6 round mark.

    AJ could take Ruiz out early or win a boring jab and clinch decision and I'm not ruling those possibilities out, AJ should not be written off here. Joshua will be better this time around no doubt but so will so Ruiz who took the first one on short notice and had fought 5 weeks before.

    But Ruiz showed in the first fight he can match AJ at range with the jab and close the distance fairly easily so Joshua will not be able to stay out of range for 12 rounds, he will be getting tagged plenty here and AJ showed he can tag Ruiz as well. So who takes the better shot ?? That's what it comes to ultimately for me, so unless the extra weight has seriously affected Ruiz think he'll get the job done by TKO.

    Changed my mind on my prediction a few times. Started off with picking Joshua, then backtracked to sitting on the fence. Spent the last week or so leaning more towards Ruiz but have changed my mind back to picking Joshua. Went for Joshua KO on the poll so that's my pick and I'm sticking to it now. You can make a case for how either could win, no outcome would shock me, apart from Ruiz getting a points decision maybe. Can't wait for the fight. Not long now!

    If i was Ruiz i'd spend the first few rounds just aiming to hit AJ's body hard and often. AJ keeps his ear muffs on and Ruiz's best chance to hurt him to the head is when he is tired, panicked and begins to open up.

    My feed is from TVP Sport with some foreign commentary. Maybe Russian or Polish I'm guessing. So my ears don't have to suffer Adam Smith and his hysterical shrieking. Happy days.

    Thought the ref was quick to stop that. As soon as a fighter wobbles are they gonna jump in and stop it?

    This advert on right now to visit Saudi Arabia is more propaganda than hitler spewed out a woman tour guide

    I’m surprised they let Anna in that **** hole to work and they didn’t force her to wear a balaclava that’s surely too much flesh for those backwards ass ****s
