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

[Nash out]

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.

I get what you're saying Red Foxx, but AJ has a tendency to go for the kill. He tried it with Whyte, went for the knockout right from the off and that nearly backfired, did the same against Wlad, then the same against Ruiz. I feel he will do the same again, he'll win the early rounds behind the jab, then Ruiz will start firing and as soon as a couple get through, Joshua will do what he always does in that situation and fight fire with fire.

He actually reminds me of Amir Khan that way. I still give him a good chance of winning. But I'm 60-40 Ruiz and have put a fair bit of money on it, as well as on Povetkin beating Hunter. What are your thoughts on that fight?

Ruiz is really fat. How can it be a mistake for him to lose a few pounds of fat? It can only improve his speed and stamina. He had a giant stomach and rolls of fat. Is that supposed to be his ideal fighting weight? If so maybe AJ should have gained 60 pounds of fat so he could be as fat as Ruiz.

I'm not sold on Hunter, and there's still a monster inside Povetkin that shows up occasionally. But, I'm thinking Hunter is going to out last him.
