Comments Thread For: Hearn: No Question That Joshua vs. Ruiz Rematch is Next

[Curtis Harper]

That's true but that doesn't make it a fluke. Fluke indicates Ruiz won by accident or luck. He won using his advantage in boxing skill, experience, and hand speed. That's not to say he will win the rematch as Joshua has the size and talent to adjust and win.

A fluke can be luck and/or something completely unexpected.

Should AJ destroy Andy in the rematch, I'm going to stick with it was a fluke.

Ruiz's "skill" didn't catch Joshua and hurt him. Joshua standing and trading trying to finish Ruiz off is how he was caught. Joshua will show this when he dominates from start to finish in the rematch. You already have your excuses ready to go. "He on roids though"

Whatever you say man. Godmode Joshua just walked into 76 lucky power punches.

Hope he doesn’t get punched in the head in the rematch, since apparently that’s all it takes to put him on ***** Street for FOUR ROUNDS.

Built the same as what? Each other? Bodybuilders?

Nm....

Can't wait for things to go back to normal.

I got 7/2 on Ruiz for the rematch ...which I snatched at .I feel Ruiz is 60/40 in his favour to win the rematch as I see Joshua's only real chance is to get Ruiz out of there in quick time ..whilst risking being beaten to the punch again.Ruiz does the distance well and the longer this goes the more I expect him to do a job on Joshua again.

With how undercover the UK commission handles PEDs I doubt they'd be sharing legal TUE situations for a link to exist.

That Joshua TUE sh^t does seem like a popular rumor doe. Idk where it originated from so it could be complete bs, but it wouldn't shock me if he's on TRT.

That originated from Dillian Whyte and Big Baby ran with it.

Fat Ruiz, bring that fat arse to Cardiff. You have no choice unless you want to retire and go back to being broke.

Don't let Hearn the scumbag gas you about MSG, the snake is the one pushing for MSG because of his DAZN bosses. AJ and his team have picked Cardiff from the get-go and that's where it's going to happen.

Fu...ck Hearn the scumbag.

Children, stop arguing semantics over the AJ defeat. AJ looked off in the whole fight, weak to the body, no defence and panicked when he thought he had Ruiz hurt. If AJ had got his KO in round 3, people would have mentioned that he looked off.

We won’t know if it was all Ruiz, all AJ or a combination of both til after the rematch. I reckon an AJ win will result in all the excuses coming out I.e he was injured, had food poisoning, couldn’t get TUE in NY

[GlassJoey]

All the fighters tht are juicing all seem sure others are juicing or abusing the TUE system. This is because they’re probably trying the same. I’ll bet Dillian got a TUE. We may have to wait for a Russian hacking group to leak the details!

Who was that with ?

I don't believe Joshua takes PEDs or steroids at all. People say that just because he has a great physique. All the fighters who get caught for taking PEDs are angry all the time and look like fat muffins. So surely you should be looking at that kind of fighter instead?

As for the rematch its sensible to assume that Ruiz wins it. He took a lot of hard shots from Joshua last time and took them. Rematches are usually more emphatic than the first fight.

However I think Joshua can win if he boxes at distance and grabs when Ruiz gets close. Mentally Joshua is strong. He has spent his whole career getting knocked down going back to the amateurs, and it hasn't affected him at all in his pro career in terms of confidence

I predict Joshua boxes smart and wins in 10 rounds. Ruiz will be trying to knock him out the whole time rather than being sensible.
