Ruiz v Joshua 2 confirmed - rematch clause triggered - Nov/Dec

[El Kabong]

I see that Tito also. I try say Joshua need stay outside. Keep get caught inside

You're absolutely right. Joshua is taller, rangier. In the rematch he should keep Ruiz at the end of his jab. But a punishing jab. None of this chickenshit pawing boxers do sometimes. He also needs to move side to side. Look for angles against the onrushing Ruiz. Also as @El Kabong said..... don't go for the one-punch knockout. Just 'cause he dropped Ruiz one time it doesn't mean Ruiz has a weak chin. To the contrary. With the right mental attitude and preparation, it should be a hell of a fight.

While the punch ain't great to look at and doesn't "score" I'm not sure some boxers understand the benefits of the pawing jab. Think of it like you're a batter facing a pitcher if all the pitcher throws is 100 mph fastballs then when you're at bat you expect 100 mph fastballs. So when there's a changeup thrown it LOOKS like a fastball but it is much slower on purpose so the pitcher can get a swing and a miss or simply see the reaction of the batter. In boxing the pawing jab can be used to keep your opponent busy while you assess their defense. You can swat your opponent's guard, you can hook off the jab, you can line up a powerful jab or a straight right...it's seemingly a throwaway punch but it's a useful tactic if used correctly.

AJ has 0 focus on defense and engaged a hurt opponent in a reckless fashion he got caught and never fully recovered.
