    Can Joshua employ the tactics he did against Ruiz for a full 12 rounds?

    I think Tua would be far more game and would catch him eventually while behind on the cards.

    I pick Joshua on points but he needs to fight a perfect fight. If Tua catches him, its over.

    Joshua should be favored here.

    He is much more proven at the elite level.

    Ruiz was quicker and has a better boxing brain than Tua , even the Arab version. . Joshua comfortable UD. He would take more liberties with his offence against the smaller less rangy Tua.

    It wasn't over for him when Kiltschko caught him with a detonator

    Joshua easily, all he has to do is stay focused and he gets a comfortable decision. Tua is too slow and the advantages Joshua has in height, reach, speed, and skill is insane. Would most likely be a boring win though

    Joshua should fight like he did against Ruiz, but really try to avoid clinching and don’t allow Tua to get in, he should hit Tua hard early then just pepper him from the outside whilst moving laterally and bouncing around on the back foot and changing his lateral movements and offsetting Tua, Joshua can throw more straight rights against Tua and put more into his punches because Tua isn’t as good of a counterpuncher as Ruiz but Joshua has to keep his punches long against Tua, Joshua should avoid any type of close quarters with Tua even clinching because he really wants to avoid that left hook, Tua cannot close the distance fast, he has slow feet and has to set his feet to throw his punches, that’s why Joshua should keep moving and Changing lateral movements and feinting with his feet to offset Tua’s balance and not allow him to get set
    Joshua should win on points if he implies these tactics, but you can never write off that left hook

    Tua has a punches chance at best. AJ will touch and run to a boring decision like the Ruiz rematch

    Ruiz was in awful condition in the rematch.

    I pick AJ to outbox him en route to a decision win.

    I think he meant the version who fought in Saudi Arabia in the Ruiz rematch
