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

[Curtis Harper]

You might put an I think or an in my opinion in front of AJ will batter him into unconsciousness. If AJ is a sure thing to win then why didn't he win the first fight??????

Sometimes a person has to get off the fence and make a pick.

Why do some guys lose their 1st fight vs an opponent

I don't think Andy is the real deal. I think he is a one hit wonder....Just like the other one hit wonders before him.

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.

See now this is an interesting post,it actually shows his fighters took a dive( I know one ) ..BUT..no...legit win with Stiverne and Breazeale...really corrupt as hell however,,,these guys need tom guywilder/Ortiz and whoever may follow them when they leave under Haymon. only punk ass;s actually like this shyte from them...

Andy looked the same as he always has. He is very very good with obvious physical limitations. He comes forward at a steady pace behind a very good jab. Joshua hit him with his best shots and he never hurt Andy. If you are expecting a lesser version of Andy for the rematch, prepare to be disappointed. Joshua needs to change because Andy won’t.

I'm expecting AJ to change. As did previous guys who lost to massive under dogs.

Who in the hell is expecting Andy to fight any differently ???

Because one hit wonders are generally someone who performs above and beyond anything they have ever done or ever will do, once. What is you definition?

That is my definition of a one hit wonder. Nothing in Andy's fightography says anything about him being a reigning champ.

Good enough to maybe win a title, but not good enough to keep one.

AJ has shown he is capable of being a long term champ.

The loss to Andy was shocking and unexpected and embarrassing but it will be avenged.

You could be right about Andy but you overrate Joshua, he’s going to have a tough time getting by Andy in the rematch if he can’t knock him out. Joshua’s defense, as Breland said, is very bad. Joshua is going to have to stick and move for 12 rounds or stop Ruiz but I don’t think he can do either. We shall see.

I see a different game plan for AJ.

No backing away and no rushing in. Keep the wide body at arms length while slowly closing the distance.

I'm not that worried about his defense. It's his stamina that's an issue. That's why too much movement is a no-no.

Uppercuts and body blows -
L/R to the body, uppercut
Step to the side.
Throw out some pawing jabs to re-establish that distance.

Repeat until Andy caves in.
