Let's not forget AJ's knockdown...

[SinderellaMan]

As a Wilder fan, I would be lying if I told you I didn't enjoy AJ's fights and I would love to see him get revenge.
Nothing against Ruiz but....
Let's be objective here.
Ruiz didn't land a lucky punch;
AJ got careless, got caught, and never recovered.
I expect AJ to possibly catch Ruiz in the same round but not get wrecked with the follow up.
I think AJ was wise to slim down but if Ruiz lost weight as is speculated, he made a mistake.
And AJ doesn't have the greatest chin but a 268 pound boxer/puncher with some pop will drop any heavyweight out there

IDK why everyone forgets what happened before AJ got knocked down. He was doing well and dropped Ruiz. AJ made the same mistake he made against Wlad and over committed. Ruiz being the smarter boxer weathered the storm and countered. That mistake by AJ turned everything around and he was never able to recover. Getting out boxed when you're dazed doesn't mean a whole lot. If AJ actually listens to McCracken this time it's going to be a long, frustrating night for Ruiz.

The main difference is Ruiz got up, shook himself off and then proceeded to put Joshua down 3 more times.

That means a lot more than Joshua getting a knockdown first.

It means that Ruiz knows he can't just walk through AJ. If he tries doing that he will end up on the deck again.

Let's not forget that right hand Ruiz ate right after he got up from the knockdown. That was actually a harder shot than the one that put him down. And he ate it

What's Ruiz best win?

I dont know why people would just assume Ruiz would walk through AJ when the first big shot Ruiz took from AJ he got sent down in the canvas hard.

Come on now. Ruiz has 64% ko against a bunch of bums. Ruiz doesnt have pop. He isnt good. Fans are changing the narrative so their hero didnt get beat by a short fat guy throwing sloppy punches.. He did

AJ KD came of a upper cut left hook combo and that's exactly what he wants to avoid if he wants to win.... he needs to fight at a distance and stay patient and no engage in close quarter and fight tall....can he fight that way the entire fight? i personally dont think he can. i guess that's one of the main reason he slimmed down.

[soul_survivor]

I think people tend not to talk much about that KD because Ruiz got up and looked ready. His eyes was clear, he knew where he was and as AJ poured it on, he countered beautifully, not off instinct but off the ability to see the punches coming. You could even label something like as a flash KD.
