Comments Thread For: Joshua: Me & Ruiz Will Definitely See Each Other A Third Time

[The Boston Hera]

There won't b a 3rd

Depends on the fight we see. If it's a robbery, Joshua isn't going to want a rematch and Hearn won't let it happen. If it's more of the same from Fight#1, same story.

If it's a great fight with Joshua managing to legitimately win a competitive match, make it happen.

Even if AJ wins, which is highly unlikely, Hearn will NOT let him fight Ruiz again.

The fix is in. It's a shame. But boxing is so corrupt that you never know what's real or what was planned and bought anymore. There's always a cloud of doubt over every single meaningful match and it diminishes the sport.

Yes, I think if Josh loses again there won't be a 3rd. But if Josh wins, I on!y wan t a 3 rd fight years down the line.
I want these hard hitters to face wilder badly.
I want to know how wilder reacts to someone who hits harder than him. I've had enough of this I only need to be perfect for 2 seconds whilst you need to be perfect for 12 rounds crap

But no one hits harder than Wilder.

Idk about that AJ.. if Ruiz KOs you again, in similar devastating fashion, then I doubt it warrants a 3rd fight. If you win a careful decision, I doubt Hearn puts you back in there with The Destroyer.

I think the honest answer is the winner fights his mandos(Pulev, then Usyk) with possibly some voluntary fights in between. If AJ wins we wouldn't get a Unification with Wilder for some time, if ever.

Calling it now: controversial DRAW!

[P4Pdunny]

A third fight somewhere in the future would be good

The best fights the best.
No cherrypicking and all that nonsense.
Fighters come to terms in a short period of time.
And misunderstandings get resolved and fight gets made.
Not unlike this disgusting Wilder team and his multiple managers.

[Marchegiano]

Cmon... why so you can watch Joshua lose a 3rd time. Doent make much entertainment sense unless you just hate Joshua.

That's why SRR vs Lamotta are remembered and JMM vs Pac more recently, because we just like watching the loser lose...


Joshua showed he had the ability to win. It's an exciting fight because either guy could win regardless of who does more often.

But no one hits harder than Wilder.

Trust me, ruiz and josh only need to be perfect for 2 seconds against wilder.
We will see once wilder gets knocked by either whether he thinks he hits harder than them?

Lemme tell ya - if I was Ruiz arriving in SA the first thing I'd do is get one of my crew to drive to Costco and buy 3 cases of bottled water, and that's what I drink till the fight. Eat all canned food. Everybody knows who the house is cheering for, and in SA, it's a hell of a house.

And yes, Ruiz wins by KO or he loses. No promoter would let a "controversial decision" get in the way of a second big payday.
