    Would a template for this fight be Lewis vs Tua. Something that AJ can find useful to add to a plan.

    Yeah both you guys have good points. Does it serve AJ to make it boring though? The best outcome for him is obviously to engage again and win by stoppage, but making it that kind of fight probably favours Ruiz every time. Feel like he is in a hard place if the plan is still to increase his audience, almost a lose lose.

    Well sure the BEST outcome is for AJ to flatten Ruiz with the very first punch...but that is unlikely to happen. My post was based on likeliness and I think it's highly probably AJ's confidence ain't gonna be the highest right now ergo it would behoove him to make it an ugly fight and attempt to wear down Ruiz late instead of starch him out early. best plan of action is BOX and let the KO come to you if you're AJ and for Ruiz the best thing he can do is to immediately remind AJ that he's got power and he can land at will.

    The 2 likeliest of scenarios are as I stated, a messy brawl with an early KO (advantage Ruiz) or cagey chess match (advantage AJ)

    Might sound nuts but I don't think Joshua has the footwork or composure of Lewis at least at the time he fought Tua. Some fans dog Lewis for that performance but I thought it was a masterpiece all things considered. Ruiz also knows work rate and combos where Tua could be on and off.

    Yeah I think the footwork is really where the AJ-Bruno comparisons come into play. AJ's upper body movement was appalling too.
