Joshua v Ruiz 2

[Master]

AJ did what he needed to win and fought smart. When it comes down to it, his style more showed his mental state. He knocked down Ruiz in their first fight but got careless and got caught. He is now gun shy which doesn’t lend itself to fight Wilder and he isn’t going to outbox Fury.

Ruiz really isn’t that dangerous of an opponent to be honest.

AJ should never have lost to Ruiz. He has beaten far better fighters and Ruiz got very lucky. Shame he let himself down with the rematch with his weight.

My prediction that with time to properly prepare Ruiz would hire a strength and conditioning coach, a chef, and really come into the ring in the shape of his life proved to be on the money. Joshua is now going to be Klitschko Mark II for the rest of his career. Joshua and Usyk will be interesting if it happens. God knows what condition Fury will be in after two fights with Wilder and whatever else he has going on. Right now I could see Fury beating him, Wilder I definitely think will spark Joshua. I have a feeling that Joshua just takes a load of easy fights in England and avoids Fury until he's past it and Wilder too.
