I genuinely reckon Joshua is shook, I expect his head to go the minute he steps in the ring. If he loses he’s completely finished.

I think people are under estimating Ruiz and over hyping AJ again...same as last time.

These Putos have a heart and now he’s got the belts and the arrogance...for a big man I sometimes get the feeling that AJ doesn’t like a real brawl

It wasn’t a lucky punch that got him last time...he got everythinged

I fancy AJ but wouldn't be surprised by a Ruiz victory. I've watched the first fight a couple of times and I do think it was a pretty lucky punch. AJ was running in gung ho trying to finish him off and got caught by Ruiz in desperation mode. Whether or not this was "planned" by Ruiz (lull Joshua into thinking he was on his last legs) I don't know but I wouldn't have thought many boxers would go in with the plan to let the other guy deck you so he gets over confident.

I'm not a big Joshua fan but expect him to win, only thing would be him doing similar to last time and getting over confident when Ruiz is rocked, that wouldn't surprise me either.
 
AJ should want to box this one as if he was Tyson Fury, keep Ruiz away from him and jab him to a boring victory. AJ’s problem is he can’t do that when he’s fighting a brawler, we saw his pride get the better of him vs Whyte and it’ll happen again, he doesn’t have the technical skills or patience to be clever in the ring and earn the boring points victory.

He boxed like that against Parker in fairness but I agree that’s not his preferred style, but he needs to be disciplined and win the fight - without hanging out his slightly dubious chin.

I cannot see how Joshua can win this fight unless he really was ill for the 1st fight .. ruix too fast , too poweful and far more skilled … looks like ruiz ha s a good chin too he took a few big shots after the knockdown he took which never really effected him .. even the knockdown didn't look a bad one.

my money is on another but more conclusive finish in a ruiz win

I did think he looked better vs allen and i'm not convinced he won't be able to win tonight he's got a huge height and reach advantage , but can he use that well.

I didn't pick him though I simply highlighted a way he might my picks were taylor and derek as per my post

I box myself so I always see ways to win a fight

He never had a ****ing prayer.

But seeing as you’re a pro I’ll sit down.
