Fury vs AJ (Ruiz 2 version)

[smashup]

If Josh can't cement himself centre ring from the start then Fury will toy with him then stop him later on.
But as we know in the Heavies one big punch changes everything and AJ definitely has the power to hurt Fury.
I'd expect Fury to come in really heavy like he did against Wilder, that allows him to out muscle AJ and still have the speed to outbox/out manouvre him.
Gun to my head , i can see Fury doing exactly what he did to Wilder in fight 2.

Fury by stoppage around 8/9 rounds 😉

[Mark TKO]

I can see the same though Fury winning much earlier.

Unlike Ruiz 2 - against a blimp - Joshua is going to have to get close to Fury to hurt him. In order to get close he's going to have to get hit back and I'm not sure he'll be able to handle it - Fury will put doubts in his head too in the build up and could have him well beaten mentally.

I think we'll know within the first couple of minutes who is going to win and if Fury believes he has it won (and I can see no reason why he won't) this will be a very one sided affair.

Joshua has power but doesn't have Wilder's freak one punch bomb to end it.

Gun to head........Fury in 5

They both can get off the canvas and win fights, but I doubt very much Fury would ever get knocked down or loose to Ruiz.

AJ should never have even won the Gold in the olympics.

AJ has no option but to fight dirty until the end and hope that Hearn paid the right judge.
