    I swear when he was ball punching he was throwing at the head, just because Ruiz is short doesn't mean anything! All golota has to do is throw body punches to the balls, which will strike even lower.

    Golota by decision or Ruiz by late tko. Golota isn't stopping Ruiz he has a rock solid chin(s)

    Golota hated fighting guys like Ruiz. I’m sticking to everything I said. Ruiz in half decent condition wins this.

    Golota by late stoppage, he is the superior boxer and that jab would be the key. Plus, Ruiz isn't good enough to worry him into tightening up, Andrew would remain relaxed & methodically take him apart.

    Golota never KOed a good opponent and Ruiz has a very good chin, I don't see any way he stops Ruiz.

    I said Golota by late rounds TKO not necessarily because of a knockout, more like an accumulation of damage (bad cuts, excessive swelling, etc.) I can easily see this as a strong possibility, but that’s just me.

    IMO.
    If Andy Ruiz Jr. had a gameplan for Golota, as he had a gameplan for AJ; Andy Ruiz Jr. would win.
    And yet IMO gameplan for AJ was:"I have to get into a close fight with AJ, but I can't attack; so I have to lure AJ to come close."
    In the rematch, AJ did not come close.
