Breaking: Andy Ruiz to fight AJ on June 1

Ruiz is better than Miller.
Ruiz is better than Hunter.

So, it's not a bad outcome.
Joshua should win quite comfortably though. Ruiz is a fat boy with short arms after all.

 

Joshua isn’t used to the body shots he’s gonna get hit with.
Ruiz beat Parker with zero mittwork from Abel Sanchez. Abel was too busy with ggg and gassing.
This will be a tough fight.
People will respect Andy after this fight.

 

There is gonna be nothing comfortable about this fight.
Will be a hard fought battle.

 

Hunter stopped Ruiz Jr in the AIBA world championships, so I don't think Ruiz Jr is better than Hunter. Hunter would be too active, create to many angles, he also can take Ruiz's power. I think Hunter would stop Ruiz Jr again if they fought as pros.

 

Disagree, Joshua's ring walk will be more taxing than this fight.

 

Diff fighters but not necessarily better then hunter. Hunter outboxed the **** out of breazeale, Charles Martin, and wilder in sparring.
Both hunter and Ruiz have good handspeed at heavy, both have good timing and speed. Ruiz hits the body better. Mike has a more educated jab. Both have good defense.

 

Ok
We will talk after the fight

 

I think the hand and footspeed of Ruiz will give Joshua trouble. The bodyshots aswell.

 

Absolute joke of a fight

 

I already respect Andy. I respect any fighter who can make a $5m+ payday as a professional athlete at 35+% body fat. It’s unheard of.

 

AJ will land on his chins within 5

 

Doesn't make it past 6 rounds

 

Please stop. Joshua will be in more discomfort having his morning dump than he will fighting this gelatinous blob.

 

Maybe I rate Ruiz Jr higher than most. His workrate seemed fine enough against Parker and it looks like he's at least a little in better shape now, I think he could decision Miller. Although truth be told Miller himself is an unknown quality, especially in the sense that we can assume he's been roided up most of his career...

Rivas just hasn't impressed me as a pro. He got a good win against Jennings but I thought he was losing that handily. The KO kinda just came out of nowhere, which is too his credit I suppose.

We disagree most on Breazeale here. I don't think Ruiz is naive enough to launch an early assault against someone so tough, instead just out boxing him over 12 rounds. His size would make it a close one but, I don't think Dominic has the nous to definitely impose himself effectively

 

He will land on his 5 chins.
