So what chances you give Ruiz in the rematch?

Joshua will fight gun shy like he did with Parker and win a controversial decision via his matchroom judges. Count on it.

I have no doubt that Wilder of Fury would beat him next, I just don’t see Ruiz doing it again. Maybe if the fight were to be in the US, but it will be in the UK. AJ will fight like he fought Parker. Any win will be good enough... AJ is in a very dangerous position right now. Ruiz is very talented, and is not the problem per se... Ruiz is very good and could be a handful for any of the others with the exception of Fury. All those guys AJ beat, they are watching tape of this fight and probably just acting emotionally, but their coaches? guys like Don Edwards? they are sucking on their thumb in quiet contemplation and running exactly how they will beat AJ next time...

Ruiz held centre position right from round 1, and right from the beginning had his jab landing to the chest. This wasn't just a case of AJ getting caught. I don't think he won a round in the whole fight, IMO. AJ can come back for sure but he'll need some of those UK refs to get a win in the rematch, and a bit of luck too. Great fight from Ruiz.

Tough, but I might pick AJ to be honest. If he fights conservatively like he does often, it's going to be hard to Ruiz to take rounds. This fight, AJ had no respect, didn't maintain range, and once he gassed, it was too hard for him to get back in it because Ruiz fought very smart.

I give Ruiz 35% chance to win rematch. AJ will come in focused and prepared to jab and grab and give Ruiz the old Wlad special. Agree. It will be Parker copy-paste. And if it is in the UK, AJ will be comfortable enough to do just enough.

Your first statement is correct, but the conclusion you draw from it (that Aj will remedy inexperience) is off. Aj did indeed show inexperience. He let Ruiz keep him on his back leg, walking him down, hitting him to the chest (making AJ yield to the blows) and Ruiz is an accurate puncher so he was able to set up punches that could not be countered. AJ have not fought enough. he has talent for sure, but as man down implied, this is the big leagues and when you are exposed the blueprint is circulated. People know that AJ can be backed up. Thats a real problem. Aj's footwork is crap so when he fights the other guy will just push him back, and know AJ cannot counter. its a real problem against a guy like Fury who has experience.

Did Ruiz even have a full camp? Nope, Ruiz only had 6 weeks. With a full camp Ruiz stop him him in 3

Did Ruiz even have a full camp? He said he had a camp for Dimitrenko them immediately got back in to a second camp for Joshua

Yeah but only a few people including myself, though Ruiz could do it the first time. If the fight was close maybe the outcome would be different, but AJ got dropped 4 times and quit. He will be easy work for Ruiz in the rematch. Did Ruiz even have a full camp?

Not sure. He fought a very stupid (inexperienced) fight. He will be much more cautious and win a boring fight.

AJ is certainly beatable, but I just don’t think Ruiz is the man to do it twice. This makes Whyte-AJ very interesting.

All of em. AJ like most UK fighters are softer than baby poop

100% AJ is bum.

Unless Joshua changes his team, Ruiz is the favorite imo. AJ really could use Manny Steward, he needs to go to the Lennox and Wlad school of fighting at a distance behind the jab and avoiding tear ups with smaller fighters

Similar fight. Ruiz is a very smart fighter and will execute another solid plan. He might finish him by the 5th in the rematch. That chin and stamina won't improve much.

I'm not sure what game plan Joshua can come up with but it doesn't look like he deals with pressure very well

Joshua will slim down to 235 and will fight Ruiz from the outside with the jab and when Ruiz gets close he will clinch. Ruiz will probably celebrate with a lot of mexican food, have some snickers and will be 280 in the rematch and will lose a very close fight by decision.

Bro, Ruiz won’t let him. AJ is done, or really as they say he was exposed. Turn up the heat and he melts. AJ is certainly beatable, but I just don’t think Ruiz is the man to do it twice. This makes Whyte-AJ very interesting.
