Comments Thread For: Joshua's Trainer: Direct Rematch With Andy Ruiz is Right Move

[MulaKO]

I see the same thing happening as in the first fight
Maybe even two knockdowns for AJ but Ruiz will weather that storm and come back to knockout AJ
I’m thinking Ruiz will wait for AJ to become mechanical and predictable
Once that fatigue sets in its curtains for AJ

Of course he had to take the rematch it’s a cash out fight

So let’s say he wins his belts back, what’s next? Mandatories? Usyk for me would beat him by UD, Wilder and Fury wouldn’t fight him until they are done with each other. And I don’t believe Wilder would fight him at all. To be honest I want a new face in HW boxing, one that doesn’t bring as much money, and one that is ready to fight his rivals, if Usyk can replicate what he did at cruiserweight then he would put those guys to shame, the ones that are taking 10 years to actually fight anyone with a pulse or try to dare unify the division.

I feel you, I'm actually tired of this whole triangle of AJ, Fury and Wilder. I feel if Ruiz wins the rematch he will do the same things as Fury and Wilder. That is why AJ gets my backing over Fury and Wilder because he at least seems interested in fighting the best. The ducking claims from frothing at the mouth Wilder and Fury are laughable at best.

Wilder would 100% fight Joshua, now he has been shown to be fragile. Fury would probably still duck by pricing himself out.

As for Uysk, how is he going to beat AJ when he struggled against a Tony Bellew who had literally just lost a Floyd Mayweather in weight just before their fight. All Uysk did in that fight was wait until Bellew gassed which he was always going to do given the huge weight loss. I mean whatever you say about AJ he still has the best record out of any current heavyweight - that includes Fury and Wilder who have been fighting way longer. Somehow they managed to avoid decent opponents for most of their career...

Bellew went from what? 211 to 199? Damn, totally weight drained

And he didn’t struggle at all. You Brits need to hop off that narrative.

I read the word magnitude in Carl froch’s voice.

Damn Straight. Why else would they got to Saudi unless they knew they could make the most and pay Ruiz the least. Win or lose it will look like the right move for AJ.

That’s the thing, am tired of it. Ruiz has already shown me that he isn’t as humble as I thought he is, so no he would be the same as Fury and Wilder. Like you pointed out at least was on that path to unify the whole division, I couldn’t say the same for the other guys just by their resume and attitude.

Hopefully we would get that (Undisputed) fight next year, but I really doubt it.

[OnlytheTruth]

Every single ****ing article to do with Ruiz or Joshua has AT LEAST a paragraph of what happened in the first fight. I've read it about a thousand times now.

Why can't these media outlets or publishers get enough new content to fill half a page??? What a useless bunch of twats.

Bellew ballooned up after the Haye fight and was on a zero-carb diet the whole training camp.

I remember the narrative before that fight. Uysk had destoryed Gassiev perfectly and now he was one of the greatest fighters on the planet fighting Bellew who lets be honest : a good fighter but isn't rated that highly. Uysk got hit a lot and had to wait until Bellew gassed before he could stop him. Not to forget Uysk made Bellew go down weight rather than stepping up to heavyweight which would have been fairer. Uysk only showed a good chin that night

[Curtis Harper]

Absolutely

Can't have peace of mind with that fluke hanging over his head.
