You’re supposed to win and win convincingly. You’ll get the W but not the KO.

Ruiz is a fat little guy with short arms a decent engine who fights with his face and lets his hands go.....a perfect 'opponent' for Joshua to look spectacular against .In short a real disappointment for a uk PPV . I'll bet the Hearns are over the moon that they've got such a shabby defence through .

Good luck with that!
My understanding is that Ruiz has a very good chin but it is the heavyweight division and any one punch can make a difference, which means Ruiz can knock him out too. Wilder put the pressure on him to outperform him, which means he'll be more vulnerable against Ruiz as he may focus too much on getting a KO.
He may not have the best opponents on his resume, may have physical limitations compared to AJ but Ruiz has done everything he's needed to do to win every one of his contests, barring the debatable decision he dropped to JP.
AJ can be very "robotic" at times and if Ruiz times and catches him at the right time, he could be in a world of trouble.
Not saying Ruiz will win but hoping for, and expecting, a good fight at least, regardless of what anyone else says!

Yeah, he's going to be eating leather trying to close the distance.

If he knocks him out it will most likely be a late TKO due to wearing him down and being a “class above” in skill.

I could see an easy points win

I think Joshua will and should knock dude out in the first round.problay not fast as deontay but Joshua will get him

1 right hand to the body and it's over. JOSHUA should be ashamed to be fighting this bum.
