AJ should bullrush Ruiz Jr., Andre WARD stylee

[Thuglife Nelo]

This fight needs to bring some ****yness so we get a Trilogy and Wilder vs Ortiz 3 PPV becomes a reality.

When AJ rushed in on the attack like Andre Ward, he was able to smuther Ruiz with the uppercut and left hook. Ruiz Jr. likes to throw combos wide rushing in. I don’t see much flexibility from Ruiz in the inside.

Time for Ward to sprinkle some magic on AJ and give us a Trilogy

[Bobby Deez]

Get his ass whooped real quick doing that, cuz.

He should bumrush him with his dong out. I would love to see some pe.nis on ******** action in the ring. Like who really even cares about the fights anymore? Top Rank isn't involved with this fight so I have zero interest.

Yeah, the "Ward Bum Rush" is boxing's great equalizer.
With an accommodating ref, Ward's style could help the least talented mofo out there have a 50/50 shot at a win.

[IronDanHamza]

Probably get cracked and dropped doing that.

Ruiz is better in the exchange than AJ, that we know.

Dumb game plan. AJ tried to bum rush Andy after he knocked Andy down and we saw what happened.
Attack from a distance. A constant flow of combos. Never move backwards. Control your gas tank (no unnecessary bouncing around).

If his tank is shlt, nothing else will matter, though.

I can’t think of a poorer idea. Joshua needs to keep distance and above all else not get into a brawl in close quarters.

Ruiz has a better chin, faster hands and better overall skills. Joshua has, ya know, height and reach. If he doesn’t use those two attributes he is at a disadvantage.

Joshua does much better when he punches from a distance and keeps out of range from shorter opponents. If he stayed patient with Ruiz after the first knockdown, he wouldn't have got caught with the hook.

All he has to do is stick with the plan of jabbing upstairs and downstairs to weaken Ruiz because he's there to be hit. It's not like he's dealing with Povetkin or Takam who move their head a lot or throw feints/duck down before they punch.
