anyone giving andy ruiz jr a chance?

Paulie Malignaggi would have a puncher's chance against Joshua. Butterbean Jr. has a good chance of winning.

AJ by KO I will wonder what happens to the overnight Ruiz fans

im going for ruiz jr by ko again like last time #WarRuizJr

I am. I. A huge Joshua fan but I'm realistic to know the man has his fair share of flaws in his game, I know Ruiz is a real good fighter and I saw with my own eyes what happened in the 1st fight. My opinion is Joshua can perform alot better and if I was a betting man I think I'd still bet on AJ regardless of the 1sr fight but Joshua dont like shorter fighters we've seen that a few times now. Time will tell I'm looking forward to it.

I wish I put money on it lol Haha I’m sorry to hear that.

i think ruiz can pull it off again, but it will depend on his camp, and his strategy. If joshua backs up as much as he did in the right fight, ruiz has a great chance of catching him. I think the biggest question mark at this point is joshua's state of mind. He has the size, and the power, but his heart shrinks when he faces adversity. He folded fast under the pressure of being hit and dropped. he spaced out, and if he gets caught again, does he have the presence of mind to hold, and make it an ugly fight.

Not going to make any predictions but will throw $100 on Ruiz. After the first fight he has no fear of AJ's aura of invincibility and will let his hands go again. However, I'm not writing AJ off just yet. I think it's a 50/50 fight this time

Idk how you couldnt be giving Andy a chance after the first fight. But as to an official pick Im still up in the air on this one cuz I suspect Andy could have some Buster Douglas in him. So my range at the moment is 70/30 Andy all the way to 60/40 AJ. Need to see whats going on fight week & maybe even at the weigh in before I give my final answer. Basically this. I'm a Joshua fan but see this going to Ruiz. If Ruiz lands a similar combination and stuns Joshua, he will melt away quicker than the first fight. If Joshua uses his natural advantages, he should win every round. No rushing in on Ruiz after a knockdown.

Good call on your original prediction. I hope you put money on it. I thought Joshua would win the first fight, but it didn’t surprise me Ruiz took it. Now, you may be right again, but I have to go with AJ once more. I wish I put money on it lol

Handspeed is AJs kryptonite. And Ruiz has just that.

I've just got a feeling that ruiz Jr has ajs number He is his boogeyman Good call on your original prediction. I hope you put money on it. I thought Joshua would win the first fight, but it didn’t surprise me Ruiz took it. Now, you may be right again, but I have to go with AJ once more.

So glad ruiz Jr won

good call. kinda wished i stayed up for it now :lol1:

get in there war ruiz!!!! but again and again, anything can happen in HW :D and that's what happened tonight haha i know right lool

thats a good predicition, i also see ruiz starting off very well and hurting AJ i hope ruiz can pull it off, seems like a genuine guy but again and again, anything can happen in HW :D and that's what happened tonight haha

If AJ's cautious and keeps Ruiz at range -- no chance. But that's the condition. AJ might want to match Wilder's performance and insodoing make some costly mistakes. Overall I'd give Ruiz a 10% chance of winning.

Ruiz has the fastest hands in the division and a good chin, i wont be staying up to watch it but looking forward to seeing how it pans out in the morning on youtube.

Not really but Joshua is never as comfortable with shorter fighters and takes time to adjust. Maybe Ruiz can be competitive early but I expect Joshua to get the job done

I think he has a chance to make it to rd 6 in the fight.
