AJ will realize the hand speed and pop on Ruiz and gather that he can’t fight him at phone booth or much of mid range but at long range since he has the much superior reach advantage!
It will be sparring work for AJ by round 2, Ruiz too open and arms too short!

If Joshua was a 6 to 1 favorite over Miller, but a 16 to 1 favorite over Ruiz, clearly experts considered Miller a bigger threat. Not sure how you can dispute this.Comment

You can't seriously be this ******. I never said what the odds makers think will happen. I said the experts view Miller as a bigger threat. Because of that, the odds makers have to reflect what they think the betting will be.

The point of the odds are to make an equation that ensures the bookies make money no matter the result. It's because of idiots like you that they make so much moneyComment

Use your noggin' for a second. Why exactly would more money be going on Joshua in the Ruiz fight as opposed to the Miller fight? Could it be that Miller was viewed as a bigger threat?Comment

Again that's not how it works, it's about the spread, they are thinking that more money will go on Joshua because the public will or is currently putting more money down on Joshua compared to Miller. This can be for a number of reasons, not just the likelyhood of the result, yes the result comes into play and it normally (not always) reflects on the chances of the result, but what you implied is dumb, it's not that simple as what the experts think is going to happen. If people start putting money on Ruiz then the odds will shorten, does that mean the experts are not so sure anymore?
