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
