AJ has no way of surviving

[Da Pimper]

AJ doesn’t have the jab, legs, clinch, and experience to be able to fight on the outside for 12 rounds like Wlad would do.

He doesn’t have the handspeed to be able to exchange with Ruiz at mid range or up close.

On top of that his chin is weak and his mentality is broken from their first fight.

Ruiz is too tough to KO with one punch.

Doesn’t matter if they bought the refs, Joshua has no way of making it to the final bell.

[Roadblock]

I think if AJ just boxes tight he could get a UD, if exchanges he probably gets stopped again.

Strange how Ruiz is this HW juggernaut now.
Speaking of Wlad, AJ actually beat him, albeit an old one.

I think AJ might lose this, but it won't be for lack of ability or skill. Or, because Ruiz is some kind of monster. If it happens, it'll be AJ's mental shortcomings.

Mental shortcomings would amount to lack of skill, no? At least in boxing.

I think you mean AJ's psychological makeup. He's a head case.

Already discrediting Ruiz that’s nice.

No. Skill, in boxing, is mostly based in muscle memory and the things drilled in the gym. They "happen" on fight night because you drilled them into your reflexes.
Mental shortcomings cause doubt, confusion, poor decisions.

I just can’t see AJ fighting 12 rounds from the outside
Just not his style and that won’t change in merely 4to 6 months
Also , I believe he will try to after Ruiz which will be another downfall as I believe that his chin is not all that good
Lastly , I believe Ruiz is so fughin in Joshua’s head that he will lose touch of reality to fight him on the outside
Not so sure the first fight was a fluke , but I do think AJ’s style is made for Ruiz’s style
I’m thinking Ruiz will **** that body from the first round and that will get AJ to come down , which will open up for Ruiz’s hooks which will make his right easier to get in

I always hear from Floyd (for example) that it's a chess match. Yes, when you play chess, your pattern recognition should be drilled into your soul before any match so that you can think of higher level stuff. Isn't that the case in boxing? It's a "chess match?"

Does AJ lack the "chess match" skills or is he a head case?

I think he's a massive mental midget in every respect when it comes to the squared circle. But an amazing physique all the same.

This era of internet fans.

Ruiz, with a 66% KO ratio - is an unstoppable hard hitting knockout machine... based on one fight.

Joshua, with his Olympic gold medal, World Champion in his 16th fight, multiple unifications - has absolutely no chance and can't box... based on one fight.

Neither of those things are true. But these guys can't see anything beyond the last fight. Their attention span doesn't cope with it.

And they had the nerve to mock Logan Paul v KSI.

They're the Logan Paul v KSI generation!

[Mammoth]

I'm just thinking it's a bad style match up for Joshua
