After rewatching the fight..

I really feel Andy is just too fast for Joshua. I don’t think an immediate rematch is a good idea. Sometimes you need that fight in between to get you back to where you need to be.

Ruiz has a 55" reach, Joshua 82"!!! Yet Ruiz touched him anytime he wanted to, even with a jab.

FFS you dont need Cus D'Amato to tell you to just jab and move away and win an EASY decision. Is AJ that ******, or is it because he is just isnt a good boxer? I think its the latter.

[BKM-]

Not sure about that. AJ will be more wary of Ruiz's punches and likely will be pushed back. AJ's jab is not good enough to win him rounds (not Wlad's jab). He will need to catch Ruiz with something big, but his power is not Wilder's power to put Ruiz out with a single punch. All of this indicate he will need to trade and risk at some point. Due to his inability to stay long and high, he will be in Ruiz's reach. That is very risky. On top of all this, AJ's stamina looks su****ious. If he get forced to overthink he might empty the tank much quicker and Ruiz is good enough to recognise that. I don't like this fight for AJ. Not immediately.

He did catch Ruiz with something big and was extremely close to finishing it.

I liked watching him get finished for being a smug prick but I don't agree with this scenario that Joshua doesn't have a way to win this rematch like a lot of boxing fans think now.

If AJ can learn to use his physical advantages like height and reach, he should be able to outbox Ruiz to a safe boring decision (he is not going to lose on the cards, lets be honest). If not, then he was never the top tier boxer I thought he was. He cant afford to get caught in exchanges and not move his head.

he did that with Parker

[NoConcoms]

Problem is Ruiz's handspeed and head movement. Joshua simply has no answer for it. Jabbing and moving isn't going to do it. Ruiz will get inside the jab all night long.

And sitting in the pocket and exchanging clearly isn't the answer.

Terrible styles matchup. I had a feeling Ruiz could pull it off.

Probably need a proxy, doubt it will work outside the UK.

Of course he has a chance of beating ruiz. Ruiz is not an elite fighter. I see it 50:50 and I dont like the risk. if aj loses he is price 2.0

if aj loses he is price 2.0

That's definitely harsh.

Price 2.0? Joshua has legit beat many top 10 fighters. More than anyone else in the HW division.
