Maybe its povetkin

i can't think of anyone closer in profile. Maybe Gorman?

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.

I'd like to see him mix up his jabs. Double jab, more feints, slower jab, faster jab. The real way to fight Ruiz is faster feet giving angles but Joshua hasn't shown he can do that.

Maybe its povetkin

Honestly I thought the fight was going the same way until Joshua got buzzed

Difference was Ruiz has a solid chin and doesn’t seem to fade

It sounds like they've plucked these sparring partners from a queue at a McDonalds restaurant.

Joshua knows that Ruiz is not someone he can just steamroll, as he may have though the first time. He should prepare for a war and box this guy.

Hahahahahah. He went to the park and grabbed a few Mexicans leaving the BBQ

Lmao this has disaster written all over it....

Since when did sparring with fat boys make sense?

[NachoMan]

Hearn calling someone chubby had to be the irony of all ironies....

What does that mean? Is Hearn chubby?

[_original_]

Ruiz in 2.
