    Will three months of training be enough for Ruiz to be in shape against AJ or not?

    In the months prior to their first bout, Ruiz wasn’t exactly Rocky after Adrian told him to win. He’ll be fine.

    The only fighter who didn't have to train was James Toney.

    Ruiz thinks he can do the same because of his body shape but he will end up like buster douglas

    Three months of training is more than enough to get into shape. If anything, AJ can now say he was "over trained" if he gets KOed again.
    Then again AJ has been training on his "mental status" more than anything, as his confidence is totally shot.

    Douglas lost to a better fighter than Tyson. Ruiz is fighting an inactive fighter that got stopped in his last fight........BY HIM! When the rematch happens, AJ will have fought only 7 rounds in almost 2 years. Inactivity + knockout rebound = ZZZZZzzzzzzz

    Ruiz trained on Snickers Bars and Cleaning Out Mexican Buffet Restaurants for the first fight...

    Only difference in this one is Joshua will be Juiced with a Saudi/Hearn plot to do anything to get those titles back by Hook or by Crook!

    Bobby Brown said Mike Tyson and him were up all night with Japanese girls in a Hotel room before the Buster Douglas fight and he kept telling Tyson he needed to get some sleep but Tyson said: "Stop Worrying, this will be one of my quickest KO's, I could not sleep for 5 weeks and still beat this guy!"

    Ruiz fought Dimitrenko on April 20. Ten days later and he was named as Joshua's opponent. He was hardly unprepared. Joshua meanwhile was too busy meeting A listers and massively underrated him. He will be juiced to the eyeballs in the next one though.

    The classic case of underestimating an opponent. Not Douglas's or Ruiz's fault. It takes a special fighter to remain dedicated to the sport. Tyson proved that and now AJ. But none of that is gonna save AJ's booty from hitting the canvas in the rematch.

    I feel a bit for Ruiz, has been corralled into this absurd venue and is defo still viewed as the B side to the Joshua circus. Hope he can find the motivation needed to put in the work and come in even better than last time.

    There is still Halloween and Thanksgiving between now and the fight. Not a chance Ruiz will come in any better shape.
