Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz is Getting Prepared For a "Different" Kind of Joshua

[ShoulderRoll]

Hearing Ruiz talk, he sounds like he has some sugar in his tank
Just saying...I don't have a horse in the AJ vs Ruiz match by the way.

Maybe you're just projecting.

Good day my brother. Every left hook Ortiz landed on Wilders whiskers on Saturday I was thinking of you and getting ready to compose the most disrespectful message. However then I thought this is what they want. We have to stick together. I’m just asking if I can set up shop again and promote my country man AJ without any insults?

You seemed to have vanished after AJ got Ruiz'd.

It's not worth it spending the time to read this story.
But...maybe later view a few comments maybe.

I got locked up for smashing the snicker vending machine at my boxing gym. Got brought in 4 days after Ruiz beat AJ . Total disrespect

Probably just as bad for Joshua as Ruiz. In Joshua's case it is more weight on the knees. The knees don't care if the weight is fat or muscle. It's interesting that Wilder gets most of his cardio from swimming and he does not run.

Yeah Wlad was a big swimmer too at the back end of his career as he said running was too much for his knees. Makes sense, I'm only 12 stone but I definitely feel it in my knees too.

These are the fights that can make legends, Joshua has a huge opportunity to demonstrate his versatility and capability to adapt to an opponent. All boxers should loose a boxing matches otherwise they are not fighting the best challengers, the true champions can comeback make the necessary adjustments and establish themselves as the better boxer overall.

Having that said, is Joshua in that category? I personally don't believe he has the right team around him to deliver him into this fight in the right mental and physical preparation, i don't believe he possess the desire to master his craft and work on his weaknesses. At the same time I'm not sure Ruiz hasn't let earning millions soften his desire to win against Joshua.

AJ is clearly up against it in the rematch, his lack of amateur experience and the 4 knock downs he suffered against Ruiz may be the difference. I expect Ruiz to come in very confident and patient I don't see Joshua bringing something to the table that will trouble Ruiz. I see the fight following the same pattern as the first fight, if it goes to the cards the opponent must show he has beaten the champion cant be close and as a result Joshua will need to be the aggressor and that is the perfect fight for Ruiz, if Joshua sits back Ruiz will stalk him and Joshua cannot win on points going back all fight

My only concern on this bout is Andy Ruiz getting a bad referee or ringside judges as Joshua is such a huge cash cow the corruption in boxing will surely try to give him the bout, be it the referee stop Ruiz from working or the judges scoring it all wrong.

Overall I believe Ruiz wins this fight but its highly likely Joshua leaves with the belts

Back in my running days I was 11 to 12 stone as well. Knees eventually went bad and I became a bicyclist.

LOL yeah we can stick together

A fool with his money?? No moreso than Aj has been with his. Ruiz has invested son.

It's a world-class fight. Aj can punch Ruiz can punch. Ruiz can punch and ****, and will do so all night. Ruiz takes punches much better than AJ (who doesn't like to get hit and goes into a mental shell in a war). Unless there is flagrant interference by the ref, this is going to be a war. hearn and Aj trying to "control" how this fight plays out is not going to work. Aj better be prepared to come fight hard and long, AND go out on his shield because Andy Ruiz will be prepared to do so.

There are ways Joshua can win, but I don't think his team has sought them. They are relying on chicanery of one type or another ... which hopefully will blow up in their faces. In most scenarios, Ruiz is gonna bomb Aj out ... sooner or later, Andy is prepared for war, all night. Aj is looking for a few good punches and his typical gift ending.

Joshua is a fighter underneath all of hearns BS. He may come out of that shell and make it a real fight. If he does everything is on the table. Chances are though, he has bought the hearn kool-aid and is looking for some type of bailout.

Ruiz will get a good workout and another solid KO. He is prepared to do it the hard way, the old-fashioned way. A warrior at war.

I'm surprised you were able to type all of that with Ruiz's **** in your mouth. All this talk about going out of shields and warriors or war is just pathetic.

Joshua was the first person to knock Ruiz down. If Joshua didn't rush in for the kill, Ruiz would never have caught him with that lovely counter to the temple. Nobody will ever know if things would have panned out the same but Ruiz saw the opportunity that Joshua gave, and it paid off. Good for him.

Apart from talking BS about going to war, why not try giving a breakdown of the fight on their abilities.....son.
