So what chances you give Ruiz in the rematch?

[Simurgh]

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.

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.

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.

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...

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