    Last chance saloon for AJ surely?
    Back to back loses to Ruiz will surely be the end of him.

    He should be able to win a decision albeit with some rough patches. Ruiz will really need to focus and try to improve his game in order to win again.


    AJ vs Joe Joyce if he loses the rematch

    Must win. Hope he doesn't ring David Price for advice.

    He'll be gun shy and ruiz will be confident.

    Lots can happen by that time. I'll be pretty surprised if the alphabet boys don't throw a mandatory at Ruiz or the belts splinter somehow. At least that's how it has worked before . I think all the adjustments are Joshua's to make and ironically he may want to come in lighter. Ruiz should def do same he doesn't need mass to force AJ back. And ffs Joshua lay of leg day at the weight room!

    Wonder if Al Haymon tries to throw a spanner in the works?
    If I was AJ I'd scrap the weightlifting altogether and get his speed back.
    I'm thinking Rocky when Apollo took him to the hood to rebuild him 😁

    Wlad and Lennox is who he should be ringing for advice! Both suffered big losses vs underdogs and both came back stronger and AJ is roughly their size.

    They'll tell him
    1. Stick the jab
    2. Move your feet
    3. Use your size to your advantage

    Should be exactly that simple, but the brain has to work properly too. That fight or flight instinct has to be under control or you'll gas out or go all wobbly as soon as something lands clean.


    The worst thing AJ could do is get angry at himself and try to end a rematch with 1 punch. I think AJ knocking Ruiz down in their fight ended up hurting him because he relaxed, allowed Ruiz into the fight, and he wasn't able to regain control of the fight again.

    Good points, but I don't know about Lennox. Lewis lost to Rahman and McCall because he was lazy and maybe overconfident. He kept his left low, and got clocked with right hands both times. At least with Rahman, who didn't have a nervous breakdown in the rematch, Lennox came out on fire. Mindful of the power of Rahman's right hand, Lennox was a different fighter. I don't think Joshua was exactly lazy against Ruiz. But I would agree that knocking down Ruiz ended up hurting Joshua in the end.
