AJ will have to work at the body in the rematch.

If Joshua goes to the body, he is leaving himself wide open to a short hooker with faster hands.. That's what I would tell him to do if I wanted him to lose

 

AJ can only win by a lucky punch or by imitating Wlad. The second is difficult si ce AJ doesnt have Wlad's footwork or jab.

 

AJ did a lot wrong in the first fight. I think he can win the rematch. A little while before the fight I was getting the feeling that this fight might be a Lewis / Rahman I replay but never voiced my opinion, dhoh! I don't think AJ will have as easy a time in the rematch as did Lewis cuz I think AJ has lesser skills than Lewis and Andy has better skills than Rahman. However I think AJ gave up his advantages, took Ruiz lightly, and had no game plan. If you want AJ to work the body perhaps the best shot is the jab to the body and maybe circle / step to the side and shoot the odd hook to the body, but he's got to be sound defensively and not rush things. Pawing with the jab and leaving it hanging aint a good idea, gotta jab with a purpose. He needs to use his height and reach advantages plus his athleticism. AJ seems to box small, but Lennox boxed big, using his size, AJ gives up his size advantage. Box from the outside, using feints, footwork and head movement. If he doesn't keep Ruiz guessing hell get countered to death again. Anthony hit Ruiz right on the button many times and Andy took it, showing that he isn't a one punch KO, but things are only going to get tougher for Andy. Nobody is sleeping on him now.
