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?

Few things with your assessments I'd change. Maybe separate hand speed with foot speed? I'd also lower Joshua's skill and lower Ruiz's power.


But I don't see how Joshua can come back from that loss. He would have to become a completely different fighter. Each one of Andy's strength's work into Joshua's weakness. Even if AJ is more cautious (which I expect in the early rounds) he's still incapable of utilizing his power on the back foot, and he's too slow in bringing his glove back after a jab. he's a sitting duck waiting for Andy's fast crisp counter combos.

I can see Ruiz landing another lucky punch sent by god , or maybe Allah given the location and another KO win for the snickers bar kid

If AJ manages to win over Ruiz, there is zero chance of fighting Wilder or Fury. Hearn will book AJ on the exact same bum parade that Fury is cashing out on. To answer your question, I pick Ruiz all day long. He’s excited about his elevation in world status and why not? He’s a professional inside the ring and I don’t see that changing in the rematch. He’ll do what he’s always done. Might be even more of a firefight this time as AJ will give it his best. Ruiz wins by KO. Probably mid to late rounds.

Ruiz TKO9

I considered foot speed as well as other stats, but decided to keep it simple, and also the stats I based more around their style match up against each other, so Ruiz power is very hard against Joshua, as he struggles with fast and pretty hard shots. I understand what you mean though, yeah. Exactly, Andy Ruiz is a horror match-up for AJ.

I think Joshua by late stoppage or UD. I dont think he will jump in ****** like he did in the first fight, will hopefully you his size and reach and grind Ruiz down.
