    it's intriguing contest fir sure, esp with the massive weight shifts.

    I'm not sure AJ is humble/serious enough to win this though against a fighter/style representing his boxing nemesis.

    Could be a technical, stamina-led bore fest from AJ, he can't trade blows with the fast-handed fat lad

    Plan is to record it and watch it with him when I get in around midnight!!! No chance I’ll be able to avoid it

    I’m not to arsed about either of them but will watch it. AJ floored him in the first fight and got caught going in for the kill, we know the rest.

    Keep him at arms length, use the jab and open him up for the big hook/uppercut then he can clean him out. If he lets him get inside, has no head or foot movement he’ll get caught again.

    It’s a big’n like.

    I think if AJ doesn’t win in the first 4 he doesn’t win.

    Its such a great sport, physically, you’d piss yourself laughing if someone told you Ruiz had completely bossed AJ in the first fight.

    I do agree AJ is nowhere near the fighter he was hyped up to be, but I do buy I to him not being mentally right first time, you could see it.

    I fancy him to end it early, but as others have said, anything could happen. Ruiz isn’t world champion by chance. He’s a good fighter.

    It was an excellent programme, loved the passion Tyson still has, he was the all time greatest in my eyes.
    I think Stallones company made the programme, hence he was in it.

    The only thing I'd be confident of predicting is that it won't go 12 rounds. Both of these guys are big hitters and the one that lands clean first, will win it in my opinion. AJ was a bit naive in the way he approached it last time and I think the first knockdown completely did him and he never recovered. If he puts Ruiz down first again, he won't get caught in the same way.

    I'm going for AJ in rounds 5-7 but it could go either way. The excitement of Joshua fight is that as well as being a big hitter, he's also vulnerable.

    Tom Little was totally outclassed there. Good refereeing there to jump in and stop it when he did.

    Molina **** himself from the very start. He's been crying about getting hit in the back of the head every 30 seconds. He'll go down as soon as he's hit next round. He doesn't fancy this, at all <laugh>

    He wanted none of it like. Probably there for a payday and one outside chance at a final big fight if he schools the youngster, but as soon as he felt his power, he didn't want to know.

    Hrgovic looks decent mind, albeit a little slow. I'd like to see him step up and get a chance against someone like Pulev or Povetkin.

    Yeah, he'll get nothing from that fight. Although, Molina hits hard and Hrgovic took 1 or 2 decent hits and seemed to walk through them, so that's promising.

    I thought his defence was a bit suspect, but again, he was on the offensive all fight and never looked troubled so probably best not to look too much into that.

    Strange stoppage. Them bantamweights don't hit hard, it's more a game of tagging. Price's opponent seemed fine.

    Yo Sucky, you lost?

    I agree, though. I'm looking at Ruiz round 4. £30 on for a grand back.
