AJ vs Ruiz II?

[Guest]

What Brits think will happen...

AJ comes out dancing, firing a Holmes-like jab that snaps Andy's head back again and again. Blood spurts from the fat man's nose as he plods forward, gasping for air, struggling to close the distance on Anthony the Adonis.

What will really happen...

AJ runs for dear life, his useless pitty pat jabs failing to halt the onslaught of Andy the Destroyer. The murderous Mexican charges forward like an M1 Abrams tank, burying his fists in the flanks of his opponent. AJ grimaces and backs into the ropes, gloves glued to the sides of his head like earmuffs.

Eddie Hearn can be seen in the front row, face-palming as the referee pulls Andy off of the helpless ex-champion.

I hope this is satire, but I did ask us to keep it civil.

There's no way AJ could be described as being "pitty pat". He's not as hard-hitting as Wilder, but then a nuclear warhead doesn't have much steam on it compared to Wilder.

That's joshua's best chance of winning- to keep him at the end of his jab and keep moving.

but I don't know how joshua is going to magically turn into mayweather after one training camp, and after his first loss no less.

Ruiz is going to cut off the ring, maneuver him into the ropes, and target his body to take his legs.

He couldn't take andy's punches in the first fight and now he's smaller and andy is bigger. So he sure as hell can't take andy's punches now.

I think Ruiz gets him out of there.

I cannot in any way see joshua winning lol

Give us some breakdowns, not just one line and "lol"... this is a thread for civil discourse, yeah?

AJ is gonna wipe the floor with Ruiz this time. Look for a KO before the mid-point of the fight.

I am basically that way unless he finds a way of staying upright

Genie out of the bottle I reckon

I literally just broke down what joshua's best chance is in the post above yours.

If Joshua chooses to exchange with ruiz it's over. He gets destroyed in the mid range, and with his lighter weight he won't be able to keep ruiz from simply overpowering him.

Ruiz is pretty hard to hit.

He's low, compact, and has a pretty effective defense. He doesn't give you many angles to catch him with coming in.

He's not someone you can easily just box. You would have to have a lennox lewis jab or floyd mayweather legs to keep ruiz from closing the distance for 12 rounds.

Ruiz is going to use the extra weight to knock skinny Ethiopian Joshua all about the place

If by some miracle, joshua wins this, it's going to be with his jab.

Or by some miracle right hand that changes the fight.

The thing is, I saw him land some a couple miracle shots on ruiz the first fight.

And you know what? Ruiz ate those shots like a snickers and came back harder lol, he was never hurt.

oh man if I was joshua I would be scared.

Lol what a vivid nightmare

Straight out of a David Lynch movie! A ring with spectators that look like a star wars bar scene, a light shines and you can see every line in Lou Duva's face, spittle flies everywhere, smackety smackety... Lol.
