Wlad and Lennox is who he should be ringing for advice! Both suffered big losses vs underdogs and both came back stronger and AJ is roughly their size.

They'll tell him
1. Stick the jab
2. Move your feet
3. Use your size to your advantage

Should be exactly that simple, but the brain has to work properly too. That fight or flight instinct has to be under control or you'll gas out or go all wobbly as soon as something lands clean.


The worst thing AJ could do is get angry at himself and try to end a rematch with 1 punch. I think AJ knocking Ruiz down in their fight ended up hurting him because he relaxed, allowed Ruiz into the fight, and he wasn't able to regain control of the fight again.


Good points, but I don't know about Lennox. Lewis lost to Rahman and McCall because he was lazy and maybe overconfident. He kept his left low, and got clocked with right hands both times. At least with Rahman, who didn't have a nervous breakdown in the rematch, Lennox came out on fire. Mindful of the power of Rahman's right hand, Lennox was a different fighter. I don't think Joshua was exactly lazy against Ruiz. But I would agree that knocking down Ruiz ended up hurting Joshua in the end.
