I remember the declarations after Wlad's loss to Sanders and even more so when it happened against Brewster. I think AJ has a very real weakness as far as his chin is concerned, but i'm not writing him off

I'm sure AJ is training hard for the rematch, but not has hard as Ruiz. Ruiz is hyper focused on keeping the belts and I think that will give him the edge.
As for the fight, I predict AJ will run around the ring trying to box from the outside at all cost. He knows if he tries to exchange on the inside, he'll go down for sure. For Ruiz, he'll have to close the ring off and bring the Mexican style. Overall, I think AJ will be fighting off the back foot and uncomfortably again.Comment

... now, to be more precise: which one of the Klitschkos?... Vitali or Wlad???...
... that's why I asked above: "which one of the Klitschkos?"...

Golovkin showed signs of being sick before the fight. The color commentators mentioned it.How do you know what a snakey scumbag like Hearn wants? Have you ever seen a guy who talks like a parrot be straightforward in dealings?
If he doesn't want Ruiz to keep the belt, he wouldn't have pressured an unfit boxer to go into the ring and added extra pressure on him to do it quick, against that type of opponent. He wanted a showcase in America but decided to pick the worst style matchup for a guy who has always struggled with short guys. And he didn't just pick any short guy - he picked the one with very fast hands and great chin. Then went out there all over interviews talking about he has to outdo what Wilder did by getting him out of there quick, despite knowing his fighter was unfit. If he was fit - they wouldn't have employed Navy SEALs to help him deal with concussion and shock and psychologists the week leading up to the fight (when he has never had them in his camp since he started boxing).
We saw Hearn making all kinds of excuses for GGG after the Dervy fight, while claiming he was sick leading up to the fight when GGG didn't show any sign of it before and after the fight. However, a fighter, he's supposed to care about and the one that made him who looked out of it from the week leading up to the fight and even on fight night before the fight - he claimed there was nothing wrong with him.
Hearn is a scumbag.Comment

Boxing is a sport that is well prided in the tough and grueling routines fighters put their bodies through to get them to look the way they do. Ruiz doesn't represent the physique of a boxer and to the casual fan it is a running joke. I hope AJ sends him back to fighting journeymen and gorging on Snickers bars.Comment

Keep lying to yourself. A guy with acupuncture scar on his face the week leading up to the fight, who looked out of sort during the ring walk and was getting his neck massage before the fight was 100% right. But the one who was jumping around and looked perfect was sick, lol.Comment

I dont have a dog in this fight
never was a fan of AJ or Ruiz either
I consider all the current top HWs as chumps compared to the Klitschkos in their prime
I hope the better man wins and he fights Usyk nextComment

I don't see AJ winning. I think he may have some early success but will revert back to having a dog fight. You can't switch your style up this late in the game.Comment

The thing about Josh is most his fans came with him and will leave with him....like Wlad.Comment
