Wilder's coach Mark Breland thinks Andy Ruiz will take a dive...

[DuckAdonis]

Like Malik Scott? Lol

[Redd Foxx]

Literally anything is possible in this biz. It's so poorly run and regulated. If this dude predicted, "Whyte will fail the pre fight drug test but they'll let him fight anyway, with non approved gloves." you'd have called him crazy.

He has decent feet, very fast hands and good head movement. Joshua isn't that good, you're deluded is all. Excuses, excuses.

Andy Ruiz is listed at 6' tall and he's slow. If Joshua goes to Ruiz and simply tries to just trade again, Ruiz is quicker at that range, and may be able to land another temple shot.

If Joshua's smart, he keeps the fight long, rakes him across the face with that jab all night, drop the heavy stuff from range, and simply let Ruiz keep plodding forward, possibly walking him onto a shot that really hurts him again.

Except work to finish from range this time

Two things:
Ruiz was not exactly being beaten upon before getting knocked down, that isn’t at all what was happening. Up until the knockdown the fight was uneventful but you could see that it was Andy already moving forward like a machine and Joshua looking raggedy in spots and retreating.

Despite being at a disadvantage reach-wise, Ruiz actually has a better jab than Wilder. He showed a better more effective jab than Joshua and Joshua’s jab is better than Wilder’s.

Which Wilder jab are you talking about? Folks need to watch the fights better, lol.

Anyway, I said what I've said; all things being equal, Ruiz doesn't make a way into the fight without Joshua bringing the fight to him, and if Joshua doesn't bring the fight to him again in the rematch; there isn't much I've seen from Ruiz to say that he can go and make the fight.

Will read about it after it happens

he needs to ask cintron for tips this is how you take a dive lol

[deathofaclown]

I doubt it.

I’d understand it more if they were with the same company, but do you think Ruiz’s team/Haymon etc. Are going to do Hearn any favours by having their fighter take a dive and let Hearn have all those belts back?

Makes no sense

[deathofaclown]

He was eating taco after taco in his luxury suite at a soccer game in Mexico the other day.

To be fair, look at the guy, he probably does that during hard training too.

There’s no way you can be that fat while doing training camps if you’re not eating bad food too.

He just exposed what PBC have been doing with Wilder and the other PBC boxers. I've watched the Wilder vs Stiverne 2 and Wilder vs Breazeale several times and it looks like both took a dive.

Take some of your own advice and watch the first couple rounds again of Ruiz / Joshua and maybe you can help me to see where it is that Joshua is beating on Ruiz. What I see is the fundamentally sound Ruiz coming forward behind an effective jab and Joshua unsure of himself and beginning to crumble.

While you’re at it, revisit Wilder/Szpilka and Wilder / Washington and tell me who was winning the jab war.
