Ruiz is also got caught and may happen again. I think Ruiz can win again
@Baal yes true but Ruiz do has that's better chin
There are a lot of
“ifs” in this one. The relatively small amount of weight that
Ruiz lost (5-8 pounds) will make him lighter on his feet and even more
dangerous, but he needs to couple that with a competitive fire and attitude.The
purchase of a Rolls Royce and mansion is not a good sign. Meanwhile, Anthony
Joshua is doing exercises that reportedly are elongating his musculature. If so,
that's a smart move. Muscularity and attendant vascularity, with exceptions like
Holyfield, are not necessarily compatible with flexibility. If AJ can come in
loose (rather than overly tight like the last time) and without the element of
surprise, I see him fighting tall (using a superior jab coupled with sharp
crosses) and keeping Ruiz at bay while winning a decision or even perpetrating a
mid to late round stoppage.Remember, we are talking about a guy who beat Vlad
KlitschkoDillian Whyte, Joseph Parker, Alexander
Povetkin, and many other solid opponents.

Id hate to bet on this one. Think AJ is well capable of winning if he fights tall, or even stopping Ruiz if he goes all out on that, and Im not sure which would be a better plan. Maybe he isnt either, and thats what could get him into trouble. Ruiz is the more cerebral guy, he wont overthink things and has much better hands period, any time it becomes a fight hes going to have every chance.
AJ had him in the first one, he got too comfortable and didn't respect Andy's power and it cost him.
A couple of scenarios to consider
In Ruiz's favor
#1. He's more fit, he's more confident, he steamrolls AJ early because AJ gets caught and his legs never get back under him.
#2. Ruiz pot shots the broken AJ the entire fight and cruises to a decision.
In AJ's favor
#1. AJ knows he had Ruiz in the last fight, he focuses, has better defense, Ruiz's weight loss works against him and has him less durable and AJ ends it early.
#2. AJ jabs the ever living hell out of Ruiz, muscles up on him and just over all tires him down and then stops him late.
I think AJ will redeem himself...it'll set up a rubbermatch of course because we can't get AJ vs Wilder regardless
