Well I can't very well provide the entertainment and insight that you do can I?
How do you see the fight going? I mean there's plenty of ways it could play out, but I haven't seen you state how it'll play out. I've said it could be more of a chess match and it could, both fighters got hurt in the previous match and will likely seek to avoid that happening this time and so they'd fight in a more careful manner. On the other hand both fighters know they can hurt their opponent so perhaps they'll try that route and we'll have an early KO after both fighters let their hands fly (unlikely in this era of heavyweights). Ruiz might look to make AJ fear his power early on and try to crumble his confidence, AJ might look to remind Ruiz of his own power which sat him down before just to establish a little confidence.
The match is going to boil down to 2 things AJ's mental/psychological state, how did he cope with that loss/is his mind right now? And Ruiz's ego....did he train his balls off and get in a shape other than round or did he go all Buster Douglas and get fat and happy on the talkshow media circuit?
What I think will happen and what I'd like to happen are totally different. I'd like AJ to redeem himself with authority and then fight the winner of Wilder-Fury 2, but I think AJ is at a crossroads and I've not seen him handle adversity before he didn't handle it in the first fight that's for sure and IMO that'll stick with him.
It's intriguing though, kind of reminds me of Ingemar vs Floyd where either guy could get KO'd. AJ does have the tools to end it quickly and he should have accomplished that the first time.
