Comments Thread For: Photos: Andy Ruiz, Anthony Joshua - Ready For Rematch War

[j.razor]

He wasn't 283 lbs (15 lbs heavier) and Joshua wasn't 237 lbs (10 lbs lighter)...the script has changed, Ruiz is going gas because everyone know that Joshua will HIT and RUN

Maybe but I'll take Andy from what I saw in the last fight. Have fun & enjoy the fight.

The weight gain is a big surprise.

Why do question my prediction? I predicted it the first time and was right and I'm predicting it in the rematch. Why are you surprised that I'm picking the winner of the last fight to win in the same fashion as he did in their first meeting? Ruiz is my pick to win this fight, I'm sorry you do not agree with me.

You sound butt hurt, just because he asked you a question. I took it as him just wanting your opinion.

Good job on predicting the first fight. I've been a big fan of Ruiz for years, but I didn't call the upset.

With the weight gain of Ruiz, I'm now predicting AJ to win. Andy will make huge dollars for the third fight, so even if he drops this one, he gets another huge payday.

That's right & I have a screen that shows more than the judges can see from one angle, experience fighting, & not corrupted by the money.

Yeah but your scorecard won't be read after the final bell on TV to determine the outcome of the fight...the NYSAC judges scorecard however will be so I guess your scorecard is only important in your mind .

And that good, we all must dream...don't we.

I'm taking Joshua for the kill... Have fun my friend and enjoy the fight as well.

Fans are just Nervous! Everybody is a Body Language Expect before every fight now people are nutritionist specialist and feel they can determine how AJ losing too much weight or Ruiz carrying extra weight will effect the way they fight

Relax People! Less than 24 Hours away, may the best man win and for the sake of boxing please no damn Controversy that will push The Casual Sport Fan further away out of frustration with this sport. I just want to see another good Fight I could give a damn who wins!

Think people are putting too much emphasis on the weight gain. Ruiz looks a lot tighter than he did last time despite the extra weight. If this fight takes place at short range AJ is going to sleep. I think team ruiz are relying on the old adage of the challenger has to take the title, running all night won't cut it. Unfortunately we see so many boxers running their way to a title in recent years (particularly when he's the favourite). Risky strategy from Ruiz's team. Hopefully the better fighter on the night gets the decision if it goes 12. Looking forward to this one. Also a bonus that it's not on at ****** o'clock here in Ireland, nice to be able to watch a title fight in the pub for a change

I apologized to him already and we have made a friendly bet. I explained to him that I was seeing red when I wrote that message due to a heated debate that I was already in with another forum member.

I told one of my good friends to put money on Ruiz and he took my advice because I have been pretty spot on in 2019. He won over $20k. I have picked Ruiz again in the rematch.

I think you are right. I also don't think he'll gas out as easily as others are saying. He is used to fighting big. If he doesn't get the KO with in 3, he'll probably save for a huge burst in the 7th or 8th to drop AJ for good. I'm actually kind of worried for AJ now since he is lighter and frail looking this time around.

Great post bro, the thing about aj is they look like they've trained for flexibility and plenty of head movement in there. But and it's a big but we've seen the same with ggg and Jonathan Banks who has him trying to be more flexible and move his head more which looks great in training.

However in the ring instinct takes over and he reverts to what he naturally is now at this level. I think aj will be the same but without the extra mass to rely on for support.

If you look up his amateur fight against mihai nistor aj has the same physique he has now (slimmer) and nistor who is similar in frame/height (less fat) to ruiz just buzzed aj with every punch landed it was brutal.


Heres the nistor fight Notice the physiques. And reaction of aj just standing in he corner looking lost at the ref eerily similar to the ruiz fight reaction.
