Comments Thread For: Arum: Joshua-Ruiz Rematch is ******est Thing They Can Do!

Start giving fans the fights that they want and who knows where ******ity like that could lead to. Nice catch Bob.

Of course Bob feels that way. Cash cows like that would fight bums only under his banner.

****** or not, but who is he supposed to fight?

I think the prevailing logic in boxing, regardless of betting odds, is that the winner of the first fight more often than not wins the rematch, and more emphatically. I obviously don't have a comprehensive list to prove that, but just taking Sugar Shane Mosley's career as an example (the dude loved rematches):

SSM beat ODLH twice by decision
SSM lost to V. Forrest twice by decision
SSM lost to Winky Wright twice by decision
SSM beat F. Vargas twice by KO
SSM beat R. Mayorga twice by KO

SSM should have at best been 1-1 vs DLH. My point was underdogs usually do not repeat their fluke win. They either immediately lose in a rematch or to the very next guy they fight. Usually speaking that is.

Andy win not be a champ in 2020.
