Not sure who I'm picking on Ruiz-Joshua II

[SN!PER]

The moment AJ started praising Andy's left hook as The Punch From the Gods, I knew he would lose again in the rematch. You can't fix your faults if you can't own up to them. He's going into this rematch with the attitude that Andy landed a lucky punch, and that it won't happen again. That's a plan that is doomed to fail.

It is hard to call. It's easy to say Josh should win, first fight was just an off night. But that would be too underestimate ruiz.
But is ruiz that good?

Ruiz early KO Joshua is shook like wlad was after Brewster

Wlad was undefeated for 11 years after the Brewster loss.

Andy Ruiz Junior fought his perfect fight, from a technical/physical perspective. Where as Anthony Joshua did not fight his perfect fight, if it was a game of chess he made all the wrong moves TECHNICALLY 'Joshua is not going to recreate himself, but he could of done a lot of things differently' Joshua like Rid**** Bowe has a the ability to fight on the inside with inside fighters, and this is a strength to his game but 'He does not have to fight in his manner all the time'.

In this fight from Joshua, I want to see Jabs/Straight Right hands to the body and head continuously. Poetry emotion, and as the rounds progress then Joshua needs to start mixing it on the inside, and break Ruiz Junior's determination.

The question is 'Has Joshua got the engine and technical discipline to execute this sort of game plan?' on December 7th I believe we will find out.

I am picking Anthony Joshua to win, via 9th-10th round TKO.

Let’s forget Saunders and how he was being handled by peters

Wasn't Sanders before that?

Wasn't Sanders before that?

Yeah I just checked got that mixed up but either way when wlad got his ass kicked for the first time and embarrassed he was shook mentally for a while, Joshua is taking this rematch too soon I don’t think he got his confidence back at all.

Pick Ruiz, Joshua doesn't have the tools/skills to keep a shorter more aggressive fighter at bay. Fury has the movement and the jab, his footwork is excellent and he can take a punch, Wilder has the reach and the power, once someone feels his power there's no way someone would try to rush in and try to knock him out, Ruiz wouldn't last 4 rounds against Wilder. Against Joshua he has no respect, Joshua has no power, he moves like a robot and Ruiz himself said that he wasn't hurt when Joshua dropped him. Wilder for example when he drops you he fkn hurts you and not everyone is a beast like Fury, that's why he's the number 1 HW fighter in the world. AJ's best win is against old klitschko, most of his other fights he was struggling. He has no footwork, his size was the main factor for winning fights, but that can only get you that far.

Having Andy Ruiz go back to PBC with all those belts would do tremendous damage to the future of Matchroom and DAZN.

It would also hurt Top Rank and ESPN as well.

So there are money interests and power brokers that for sure don't want to see Ruiz win.

I figure he has to knock AJ out otherwise he will lose a decision. A quick ref stoppage if Andy gets buzzed is also possible.

Not so sure about the quick stoppage
Luis Pabon is going to be the ref and isn’t really known to early stoppages
Now your other point is quite a valuable point
Can see how many rich people would not want to see those belts going to PBC and I can actually understand why
Especially now with Haymon’s master plan to build a league of his own
Just never liked Haymon and no not one of those
Just don’t like this in-house bullchit but then again to build a league of his own , there is no other way to do it
