    AJ is at his most dangerous and best when he's throwing combinations and he dropped Ruiz with the first one he threw IIRC but I don't really recall him throwing any of them more than 3 or 4 times after that and I think most if not all of them missed.

    Keep partying and living it up Fat Andy, and keep blowing all that dough your fairy godfathers AJ and Eddie Hearn (that's Mr. Eddie to you) bestowed upon your scavenging Snickers from the garbage ''I was contemplating quitting boxing'' broke ass because you're about to get smoked in the desert by a rejuvenated AJ who wants his belts he loaned to you back ASAP.

    Ruiz looked like a fat blob vs. Parker. So yea, if AJ is half the fighter he purported to be then he should have a field day picking Ruiz apart. If Ruiz wins once again then AJ is complete garbage.

    This is like David Price vs. Tony Thompson II. You lose once, OK. You lose twice to the same bum you're toast.

    I watched a different fight than you. I saw Ruiz landing the better punches, having a game plan, and showing superior skill than AJ.

    AJ cannot outbox Ruiz as Ruiz is the much better boxer. AJ's only chance is to use his superior strength and hurt Ruiz so bad that he can score a KO or put Ruiz into a defensive mode and make him gun shy.

    I can't see AJ ever out boxing the faster, more polished, better skilled Ruiz.

    I would not go as far as lucky. I had the fight one round each going in to the third round.

    I think Joshua can definitely do better though, but saying that I think a more confident Ruiz can do better too. I think the fight is 50/50, which is what makes it the fight I am most looking forward to this year.

    I was glad Ruiz won the first fight, I thought Joshua was overhyped unfairly to the other top heavyweights. I was also hoping Ruiz would win the rematch, but since seeing how underrated Joshua is now, I think it will be more fun backing him in the rematch, but may the best fighter win.

    Have u seen a.j recently? He's dropped weight.
    They are obviously trimming him down for some back foot boxing. Not bulking him up

    Ruiz lucky? Yeah, lucky that the ref stopped the fight! He was close to have a body on his boxing chronicle...

    The bodybuilder fought a stupid wreckless fight. Thought he could take the blob Ruiz out early and paid the price. I do expect a more cautious defensive bodybuilder in the rematch. I also think the bodybuilder will change into a poor Wlad clone, and win by grabbing his way to victory and staying in England for the rest of his miserable career. lol

    Ruiz will have more Disadvantages in the rematch due to Hearn's Saudi backroom deals but look forward to seeing Joshua crawling around on the canvas several more times in the rematch until the biased Hearn referee has to stop it or look criminally biased on camera!!

    AJ will win the rematch and not because he’s that good, just because Ruiz is very average and very overrated now.

    lucky was yarde connecting on kovalev, both spinning, high guard... he doesnt know even how he did it.

    Luck has nothing to do with sloppy defense and good counterpunching habilities. There was not a single pound of luck in what andy did. Andy knows how to time punches/counter punch, and AJ has a shitty defense when he attacks, where is the luck there? I dont see any luck anywhere.
