Joshua has the edge with all he learned in the loss.

Did he learn anything doe? I think he learned a lot of negative things he cant change or cant change before Dec. 7. Like when the going gets tough hes gonna try to quit without quitiing. I thought I notice that in the Parker fight when he was calling his own timeouts & walking away when Parker was inside & having a moment starting. And that he cant hang with Andy's inside game at all. I guess the one positive is he KNOWS he needs to maintain distance this time or its likely lights out again. I just dont know that hes skilled enough to do that all night.

This is the same mentality that got Joshua beaten up in the first fight. Ruiz is the better fighter so there is no need for him to over train for this fight. Keep believing that it matters what he looks like in September... for a fight in December!

He usually doesn't rush his work, and when he dropped Ruiz, Ruiz was hurt but able to recover fairly quickly and AJ should have retreated and got back behind the jab. I remember screaming that at the tv before Andy got his first knockdown.

You must have missed the hellacious right hand shot Joshua landed on Ruiz, immediately AFTER Ruiz was knocked down. He ate it up, continued to beat Joshua to the punch and knocked Joshua down four times.

How did that shot come? From AJ being over eager to get the job done. He didn’t need to go for the kill there as Ruiz wasn’t ready to go.

Maybe you need to rewatch the fight? Anytime Joshua went in for the kill or landed a meaningful shot, he was met with an overwhelming response. It wasn't really about being over eager. It was that he couldn't handle ANY Ruiz assault.

He was handling it fine before he got badly clipped because he was keeping him at bay. When he dropped Ruiz he was eager for the finish and paid the price for it. After that shot the fight was done.

In the first two rounds, Joshua was keeping him at bay but not really landing anything other than an occasional right hand and a pawing jab. Ruiz was the constant aggressor, landing the heavier shots to the head and body and winning the rounds. Once again, at no time was Joshua in control in that fight, other than the flash knockdown. It was a shock, but when you watch it again, you'll see that Ruiz was actually walking him down and taking his time.

I must have seen this fight more times than I care to remember. There was nothing in the earlier rounds, you could argue AJ won the second round but there wasn’t much in either rounds. Your getting into a back and forth and I’m not interested in that. My point remains that AJ shouldn’t be eager to go for a finish against an opponent that is still “alive” in there.
