Who wins Joshua vs Ruiz rematch and how?

**Eff Pandas** · 08-22-2019, 08:19 PM

I'm strongly leaning Andy's way cuz its had for me to envision someone reversing a dominate KO loss like Joshua took. That said I'll likely wait til closer to the fight to make an official pick cuz I am concerned that maybe Andy pulls a Buster.

Ratings (These don't factor in Joshua's size and reach advantage)

JOSHUA

Power - 9
Speed - 7.5
Defence - 6.5
Chin - 6
Heart - 6
Skill - 8

RUIZ

Power - 8.5
Speed - 10
Defence - 8
Chin - 9
Heart - 9
Skill - 9

I think the fight will start off with "No Soul" trying to fight from distance behind the jab, "A-Side" will slowly and patiently walk him down, even being happy to lose the first 2/3 rounds.

As soon as "A-Side" starts to land, he will have an immediate effect on "No Soul", then "No Soul" will just start fighting fire with fire, but like in the first fight, "A-Side" will walk through that fire landing combinations at will on "No Souls" head.

I believe that the second time "No Soul" goes down, it will be the end, Andy "A-Side" Ruiz will celebrate, Mexican music plays as the cameras pan over to a crying Eddie Hearn. "No Soul" is helped to his feet. He is checked by the ringside Doctor. "Stay humble" Yeah he's fine. No brain damage.

How do you all see it going?

Not a bad break down. I think it's going to be a cautious fight for more than a few rounds.

Ruiz late, maybe tko 10 I don't see how Joshua mentally works through those 4 knockdowns but I think he will fight much better and stay out of trouble using his physical assets. He may even hurt Ruiz but he's not going in for the kill.

Joshua has a huge mental barrier to overcome. Huge. He needs to channel the spirit that got him through Klitschko when Klitchsko let him off the hook so he does have a memory of that.

If he does, props to him for sure. I don't think he will.

AJ going to really smash him this time , and you guys will say Ruiz was nothing special even though you gave him 9's prior to the fight.

What's your prediction? Think it will be an early night or take some time?

I think AJ will finish him before it gets past mid rounds , I think he'll knock Ruiz down 3 times before round 5.

How do you all see it going?

I think Ruiz will win by KO. You should not insult AJ by calling him no soul. You know his name so why not call him AJ? Would you like it if someone called you by some insulting name? Some of your numbers are crazy. You gave Ruiz a 10 for speed meaning that he is as fast as possible for a heavyweight. He is surprisingly quick but no boxer who is 50 pounds overweight gets a 10 for speed. You give Ruiz much better marks in everything but power. How the hell do you think AJ became champion in the first place if he is so weak in almost all aspects of boxing? If you are so sure Ruiz wins then bet on him because you will get very good odds. You see the bookies don't think AJ is as weak and souless as you do and they make him a big favorite to win.

Damn Ruiz is such a favourite. What were the bookies thinking making him a underdog? These guys are going to rob them blind.

J/K. The posters on here say it but don't believe it. They know Joshua likely beats the fat boy in the rematch. Post a screenshot of your bets if you say i'm wrong.

Ruiz is as fast a HW could be really hence 10. Ruiz showed that if you can get to Joshua often, which he can, he starts to fall apart and feel effect from any punch that lands. The no soul thing is a joke, so I assume you haven't seen the videos online, where Ruiz punches Joshua and his soul leaves his body.
