Joshua should not give Andy Ruiz a Rematch

[Phenom]

I don't think rematch is as straight forward as people think I still believe there will be one but it's going to be renegotiated

AJ will have to come back to US

[Phenom]

Robbie, what happened to the Naija man Saturday night?

What happened with Raptors on Sunday ****ed up my high smdh

[KingHippo]

lol wut? Obviously you gotta take the rematch. If whatever mental issue AJ had saturday is fixed, he is easily the favorite in the rematch, especially if they drag it to the UK

Exactly what I was talking about. It wasn't Ruiz's hand speed and power or Joshua's shaky chin, slow hands, and poor reflexes that got him. It was all mental

If they can get it in the UK, sure, take the guaranteed W. But, otherwise, I'd have AJ build his confidence again on someone else. AJ should be able to get himself a title shot again fairly easily and they don't need to push this rematch.

As in they pay off Ruiz to take a fall? Cuz I'm afraid there's no amount of home cooking that could fix that dish. Otherwise agree with everything else. Take a small break, then make a comeback. It'll be as if it never happened. There's no coming back from a second Ruiz knockout, especially if its worst than the first.

Joshua needs to be thinking jab-grab, jab-grab, jab-grab. Joshua can win it simply by being boring. If he does this, exactly as i've laid it out, it's a sure win.

Naturally I'll expect 10% of his gross for my valuable input that I'm sure no one has thought of yet.

Did you see the Parker fight? The ref literally stopped Parker when he began landing punches on AJ. AJ got away with unraveling tape on his gloves. The reason AJ was just staring at the ref in this fight was that he is used to UK refs letting him do what he wants.

Let's not forget, Ruiz got dropped. UK ref might have waived it off. This shyt does happen over there. If the rematch is in the UK I honestly give AJ a 90% chance to win and I'm not being dramatic.

i got the vibe that he is losing his passion for boxing. He will probably soon hang 'em up.

The guy had one ‘off night’ and, now, boxing fans are saying he’ll probably “hang up his gloves?”

Lennox Lewis got starched twice and he came back better than ever. Wladimir Klitschko got KTFO by journeyman Ross Puritty and then by Sanders and Brewster. He came back and ruled the division for 10 years.

Boxing history people.

The first good punch that Ruiz will land on Joshua will break him mentally and Ruiz will go for the kill. He should milk whatever chance he has now for the biggest payday out there from a Wilder fight while it's still marketable and do-able. If he gets KO'd...retire rich afterwards because he will be done in the sport. If he wins (which I doubt) go on to the next big money fight(s) out there and and if he somehow has success only then go for a rematch with Ruiz.

Right now an immediate rematch would be a mistake and I think they know it. They are just talking it up to make it appear he's ready for it but know he isn't and I bet in time you will see things moving to another direction.

They have a rematch clause for the UK so I have heard reported. Ruiz now has 3 belts, looking at it from a risk reward perspective it would be insane not to exercise it. As mentioned if there were camp issues/sparring whatever that can be addressed and with the fight in the UK there is no better chance at getting those belts back.

If he has issues that can't be addressed then he shouldn't be fighting anyone, but if he is going to fight someone 100% it should be Ruiz in the UK, it'll be a massive payday for both of them.

With Joshua's personality and his UK support I actually don't know how bad this loss would be for him long term if he comes back and beats Ruiz. He was never Mike Tyson looking invincible running through the division, he always had obvious vunerabilites even when he was winning and was always pretty level headed and humble not telling people he was going to kill and destroy them.

The rematch will show a lot one way or another.

The only decent post you have ever posted.

He has to take the rematch and I'd prefer it to be in the US again but this time in Vegas.

However, if it's in the UK, so be it. But Josh has to go back to America and win big there if he can get past Ruiz for his legacy. And also drop Rob for a good American trainer. He might need to drop Matchroom and some guys managing his company and do his own thing. There are too many vultures around him and that fight on Saturday should've been postponed.
