Ruiz has the better chin, the better skills, and now after the win, even more confidence.

Will Andy Ruiz Jr be even more ferocious with a full training camp?

The first fight had him playing with house money, the opportunity dropped in his lap at the last minute. Andy looked like a man with nothing to lose and everything to gain, which is what he was. This time he has a lot to prove and a lot to lose.

The amount of casuals that gave Ruiz no shot in hell against Joshua was hilarious. The whole time I was thinking man these people are in for a rude awakening.

Originally posted by Eddy Current View PostYeah he has solid boxing skills for sure. I expected him to give Joshua trouble early but eventually just get caught and knocked out. Joshua was more surprised than anyone who thought that way when Ruiz stormed back after the knockdown.
Respect to Ruiz for the W though. He was the smarter, braver man that night.

No question. But more importantly, he will be full of confidence because he comes in as champion and having beat AJ already, essentially made him quit.

I know some fighters may train specifically with their opponents in mind, but even so I'm thinking the quick turn around benefited Andy Ruiz Jr. He seemed to think so, even leading up to fight night.
My guess is that we will see basically the very same Ruiz in the rematch, intensity wise. You never really know how someone handles being the champion, in the lime-light, the fame, and all that, until they defend their title. It would be understandable if Ruiz was a tick less hungry for the rematch, than he was in the first fight.
That said, I believe him when he says he takes the Mexican-style and Mexican fighting heart, very seriously. Plus, there's been talk of his amateur experience and work ethic (despite his appearance), suggesting he knows how to get up for a fight.
Unless his team comes up with a totally different game plan, I expect to see the exact same aggression from Andy, as we saw in Joshua/Ruiz I.Last edited by CauliflowerEars; 06-22-2019, 07:58 PM.
