Comments Thread For: Motivated Ruiz Not Surprised Joshua Is Favored In Rematch

[Blond Beast]

I am Ruiz fan from back in the day.I started watching Ruiz bout a 2 years before he fought Parker. I think it's going to be a closer fight. Remember Joshua was doing appearances onmorning talk shows,walking the floor at the NYSE and doing a media appearance at the statue of liberty. If he trains hard and straightens out his punches. He might be able to box his way to a decision. Then again where you going to find sparring partners in the heavyweight division that can fight like Ruiz short like Ruiz with speed and size of Ruiz. Ruiz breaks his heart by the 5th and Joshua doesn't come out for the 10th round. He stays on his stool face beaten body attack from Ruiz destroys his body and any confidence he had .

I’m ashamed Ruiz wasent on my radar. My brother saw him fight Parker, I didn’t. I’m sure he told me about it, and it being close, but I didn’t really think about it. I like Parker, I think he’s done well for being a converted rugby player, without seeing the fight I didn’t think of Ruiz again. When Ruiz got the fight v AJ my brother assured me Ruiz was legit. He didn’t say Ruiz would win but said he’d do better than everyone expected. When Ruiz got dropped it seemed like business as usual. I think it will be hard for Ruiz to have a better night and easier for AJ to get credit for looking better. I love that u made a detailed prediction, I admire that. All I have the nerve to say right now is if it goes to points I expect AJ to get the rub. Just by not getting out he will have made the most adjustments on paper. If Ruiz wins I think it will just like the way u said.

In Heavyweight Boxing your only as Great as the strength of your Chin

I think Lewis proved otherwise! I think he had a very average chin at best and was actually knocked out cold in one of his fights. Agreed he was something of an anomaly because he was eating Vitali right hands flush all night and didnt wobble once. However AJ took plenty of Wlad punishment and only went down the once.

I think AJ has a weak chin, but unifying the division after 21 fights, is really quite remarkable.

difference is Lennox Lewis was the real deal and his chin is a lot stronger than AJ,, Charles Martin and Parker are bums. I would give him credit if he unified against Wilder the real people's champ
