Prince Naseem Hamed. You heard it here first.

Call out to Fast Eddie Chambers.



Actually a vintage Eddie might just demoralize Joshua worse than he is.

Joshua should fare better than last time. His path to victory is fighting somewhat like Lennox fought against Tua. Very cautious and jab the **** out of Ruiz. He better stay away from those exchanges. He has to fight tall and be ok with pulling out a boring ass decision.

For Ruiz to win, he should stay calm and let the fight come to him but NOT stay on his back foot. He can't let Joshua back him up or even give the judges the slight impression that AJ is the aggressor. He's got to pressure AJ on his feet and then bait AJ into mistakes. He fared best when he was able to exchange with AJ because he has the faster hands and appeared to be the better counter puncher.

Joshua has always looked bad against smaller fighters. Not sure why he didn't try to fix this before.

Ruiz and Joshua both making mistakes by coming in lighter. Losing their advantages...

I wonder how that weight loss will affect Ruiz's punch resistance. It also takes something off your punches, usually. Especially when your opponent weights much more than you.
