    AJ looks very determined. How do you see the two fighters?

    Depends on Joshua. If he fights smart and is patient he can win his belts back, but if he tries and force a knockout again it will be a repeat of the first fight.

    I am no AJ fan but I have a feeling that he is going to do a demolition job on Ruiz in the rematch.

    He still hasn't physically, mentally and most importantly emotionally recovered from the ass beating Ruiz doled out. Ruiz swallowed his soul. The rematch is going to be an absolute massacre.

    Not even close. His confidence is gone. He's not in a good way mentally. I think he's done at the top level. It's like he has PTSD.

    That's what makes this rematch interesting. I think AJ's true colours are showing and I think it will be to his benefit, he really wants to hurt Ruiz this time.

    I noticed it but only in the conference, cause in the face-off seems very determined.

    Trying to intimidate someone who has already knocked you out probably isn't going to work. Unless that is you can intimidate them so hard it gives them amnesia and makes them forget they've already knocked you out.

    How do you intimidate someone that knocked your ass down four times and made you quit? :lol:

    The Klitshcko fight really overrated Joshua. Ruiz just exposed his level.

    You can't hear it on this video because there's music overdubbed, but if you watch the full press conference a reporter at the 0:55 mark asks AJ and Ruiz how many world class opponents they think Bum Squad has fought in his entire career.

    He knows his problems thats why I predict Joshua who starts pressing, no emotions, powerful.
