hope andy ruiz K.O. anthony joshua again So this guy will shut the fck up

I agree with Bazza, wholeheartedly.

Fury is next after Dec. 7. I hope he doesn't price himself out and start ducking again. He's out there in Vegas merely putting 5,000 bums on seat and he's not worth 50/50, not even 40%.

Fury, you've no belt - take 30% and get sparked out in Wembley next year, you big dosser (fu..ck dosser - Fury is a tosser, lol).

Don't hope, just get in the ring on Dec. 7, so the both of you can get knocked out on the same night.

I reckon Josh had a bad night myself.

I liked Andy, even before the Parker fight you can see me bragging on Andy, but, honestly, Joshua is going to come in more prepared for Andy and I reckon Andy's just going to hope what worked in the first fight still works.

Maybe Andy's right, and if so more power to him, but I think he should have added some tricks to his bag. Having a better posture game and faster hands can only take him so far. He might get Klistchko'd by Joshua.

Joshua can't box at range as well as Klitschko did.
He's too slow on his feet. He won't have suddenly got that much better in 6 months either.
Ruiz is a stylistic nightmare for Joshua imo, and as long as Matchroom don't succeed in stacking absolutely everything in SA in Joshua's favour, I pick Ruiz to win again.
Joshua has never fought anyone in the amateurs or pro's who stays in the pocket, isn't scared of his power, and counters with fast combinations.

All it takes is one or two punches thrown without conviction or accuracy from Joshua, and he'll get three or four back, which is how he got hurt in the first fight.

People act like Ruiz is this nimble guy with great footwork and movement, when the guy is basically a stationary plodder with quick hands. And when you don't walk straight to him in range, to trade - he's basically more or less useless.

AJ was pretty much not himself that night and he went in there to trade and get the guy out of there as fast as he can. Got caught in the worst place on a day he wasn't right and that's it. Everything that happened after he got caught in the 3rd has no bearing on how the rematch would go.

Even when you watch the "welcome to Miami" video on his channel (the video about the training camp for the fight), he categorically picked the small ring in there as where he would do most of his training because he was planning to in there and trade with Ruiz. He overlooked the guy and thought he was fighting Big baby. But both boxers have nothing in common, apart from fat.

He just needs to go into the rematch with better conditioning and fight like he did against Parker or do what Luke Campbell did on Saturday, with more use of his right and lethal uppercut and he'll knock Ruiz out in the late rds.

I ain't willing to go to bat for it bud.....damn sure could be exactly what you say.

I was impressed by his ability to hang with Wlad though. A lot of that match was a job contest and Joshua was in it. He lost the jab contest and had to get more rough and tumble but still, he was in it.

I'm pretty sure Wlad could beat Andy, which, makes me less confident Andy will whoop Josh twice. Not exactly triangle theory, but pretty ****in' close...I guess what I mean to say is styles make fights and I'm not sure Josh has to be Wlad good to pull off a Wlad-like win.


If Andy ragdolls him again it won't shock me at all though. Andy is a real good fighter.

He'll be alright. He's going into the fight at 240ish (the same weight as the Parker fight or lower).

Ruiz also doesn't have the best conditioning as well and he should gas out before the 7th rd.
