Andy Ruiz v Anthony Joshua II

Only 4 weeks to go until (arguably) the biggest fight of the year.


('Dust-up In The Dunes' is more apt)


Thoughts, predictions, rants?

 

I think they're both fucking garbage, and I think they're both annoying, but I'm pretty sure Ruiz will smoke this stiff again.

 

Apparently, Ruiz has Slimmed Down Quite a Bit for the RE...In Some Instances MASS Increases Power and REED Wonders if This Will Hinder Ruiz on Fight Night?...

No Prediction as of Yet, But There's Not Much to Take from the 1st Fight to Make a Joshua Fan Optimistic...

He'll Need to Channel His Inner Post-Corrie Sanders Wlad to Win....






REED

 

Disagreed

Everybody's seems to have forgottent that AJ was having it his way before getting caught while trying to finish ruiz.

Sure it was a beatdown after that, but maybe aj was compromised by that that punch and never was able to recover.

 

AJ Was Winning Round 3 and Dropped Ruiz NICE, But the 2 Rounds Prior Where Pretty MEH if REED Recalls Them Correctly...

agREED AJ Got a Bit Greedy After Dropping Ruiz, But Up Until the Knockdown Both Guys Were Just Going Thru the Motions...




REED

 

I think Ruiz wins again.

 

I'm going to predict a Joshua win by a points decision along with a knockdown or two and even then I think he'll play it extra, extra safe.

 

It's a win-win for me. I'll enjoy seeing either one lose. May the best bum win.

 

I think Joshua’s only chance is to blow him out early. Blitz him within two rounds and get him outta there.

Otherwise, I see Ruiz getting slowly into a rhythm and catching AJ with counters.

My money is on Ruiz via mid rounds stoppage.

 

It's doubtful that Joshua magically learned how to box since the first fight but Ruiz is a pig

Slimmed down, you say? So what does he look like shirtless now? Philip Seymour Hoffman?

They're both so shit... still, what Joshua needed to fix can't be fixed and I expect him to get caught with the same punches that were his downfall the first time around... furthermore, this slob already knows he can win

Ruiz by stoppage again

 

Even though it is strictly against the rules, I am willing to give Joshua the benefit of the doubt. If he were AS bad as he looked, he wouldn't have beaten Wlad, or Whyte, or even Parker who beat Ruiz in turn.

There might be something to the explanation about Joshua being sick last time, and if so, this bout could look drastically different

 

he was 1 punch away from going out vs Wlad........what's interesting is he got himself into his WORST trouble vs Wlad, Ruiz and Whyte IMMEDIATELY after having them in their worst trouble.

It means he's got an average chin but a much lower intellect....nobody should get hurt that soon after having their man on queer street.

His intellect as a boxer is crap. He's been getting by on faded or limited opponents and his own athleticism which, due regard being hard to the venue of his last fight and the venue of his next fight.........might be illegally enhanced.

 

The fact that Joshua elicited the only manly performance of wald pussy's career is a sure sign of his lack of quality

 

He hasn't fought any other 40 year old dudes coming off a loss either so there's nothing really to go on. In fairness, neither guy showed any lack of heart or grit they both went at it. But there's no way Joshua should have let him out of the 5th much less lose the rest of the round and then get floored in the 6th. With retrospect that was shocking fight management from him. I suspect his corner are full of poo too.

This fight is in Saudi so Josh can get back on the magic potion and get back to winning. I believe he will have better cardio and that's why Jabba the Pizza Hut has dropped weight too.

One things for sure:- it's going to be the latest in a long line of bullshit and it's in Saudi so Eddie can get away with it. I won't buy it.

 

Put money on Joshua

 

REED

 

Wtf, he's wearing a shirt in the "Now" pic!

 

He's TEASING You McDogg….Making You Wait...

Boxing Burlesque...






REED

 

The profile pic is great.

I have a feeling it will be similar to last time. Ruiz will just get the better of it in the exchanges.

 

Hes wayy too slim. Wonder if hell have enough size to handle aj

 

He looks fucking tiny. Usually, when guys cut the fat, they can look a bit bigger cos their musculature comes out.

When he was fat, it was obvious that he had good shoulders...now he looks like a fat guy who just took boxing up.

 

REED's Always Maintained Ruiz Had the FRAME of a Crusier, if Not a Light Heavy...

He's Never Been BIG Necessarily, just Very FAT...






REED

 

Could Affect the IMPACT of his Shots Too, Not to Mention His Ability to ABSORB Joshua's...





REED

 

he said he lost 8lbs. big fuckin deal

lets not pretend joshua is now facing JAWS

 

He's Lost More than 8 Pounds, Based on those Pics...Shit, He Lost 8 Pounds in his FACE Alone...






REED

 

I think Joshua is a good bet here. Back on the gear. Will hold like shit inside.

 

JAWS might wobble him with a flailing hook

 

AJ: "Couldn't keep that big fish off meh. He had black eyes, bruv. Like a doll's eyes."
