AJ lost & immediately signed for a rematch after getting dropped four times & basically having a "Victor Ortiz" moment. My question is this too soon for AJ?? The rematch will be there in 2020. AJ is supposedly a huge star in England why not lick your wounds & take on a few Wallini's? Ruiz is eating well maybe this Saudi Arabia fight is too soon has Hearn lost his darn mind?? Is Hearn pushing this Rematch on AJ too soon?? Did AJ just get caught in the moment fighting at MSG?? If he did why immediately fight in Foreign Saudi Arabia?
You don't let a guy under 6'3 slip by to long in this division of average 6'5 footers with long reaches, now is the time while you have a gage on a short guy who isn't the typical height you prefer. Would have a stronger case had AJ not clipped him first to the canvas and it was the initial fight instead of Miller. It's to much of a winnable fight not to take and AJ is in no position anyway to what his notoriety has grown to, to not take anything less , anyone says otherwise has no clue, he's carrying the HW division not Wilder , not Fury who doesn't even have any title defenses and walks around with an imaginary title . Should Joshua lose he then can rearrange his own situations and come back later. But right now ? No, he takes this fight , a fight he wins and then we'll see w here the experts went on these you tube channels. Lol
I don’t think a few extra fights will make much of a difference. If he can’t beat Ruiz in the rematch, I don’t think he would ever beat him. Joshua winning would be better for boxing though, and I think it is a honest 50/50 fight.
I think one or two more fights would have been better. If I were him or Hearn I would have signed him up for a fight with someone like Kubrat Pulev. I'm almost always opposed to immediate rematches, unlike there was a major controversy the first time: e.g. Dawson vs. Hopkins 2
I am worried the rematch is too early for Ruiz, not Joshua. It's hard to get up again so quickly. I think of Duran in New Orleans.
