Title: Joshua vs. Ruiz II
Post by: Wiggs on November 29, 2019, 05:30:53 AM
How do you suppose this will end this time around?

I see it this way. Ruiz has one helluva chin because he took all Joshua's shots and still came back. Ruiz has about 10 years of boxing experience on Joshua as well and it showed. Also, for that fight Ruiz had more heart. I think you dont overcome all of these things so soon. If Joshua tries to outbox him, he'll lose.

WIGGS  i think ruiz is going to win this, i honestly think he took joshuas soul in the first fight, joshua hit him with everything he had, and couldnt stop him, ruiz beat joshua up , and anthony does not really sound confident going into this rematch.

I agree. It will be interesting.  I forgot to add, Joshua has a weak chin. Especially compared to Ruiz. Not even close.

AJ UD or late stoppage.  He isn't going to rush in and get caught with a temple shot again.  You are going to find out why Bob Arum said Ruiz sucked and dropped him from Top Rank's roster.

Uncle Bob does know his ring girls.

wiggs i think he was dropped two or three times in that fight if i remember, btw that was the best hw fight i have seen in a few years. if joshua loses i think he will retire.

Ruiz win via kayo in the 6th round.

Has the psychological edge being the victor in the last match up. forget the dad bod, that guy has some serious vicious hands plus he is just far more hungry at this point in his career.

amazing how one punch (think vlad and lennex's 1st defeats) has turned joshua into a bum with his elite resume while turning a top rank throw away fighter ruiz into the supreme heavyweight.  what's funny is, pbc aka al haymon, wanted to drop one beat and make an immediate unification between ruiz and wilder ASAP.  that's an easy 2 belts for Wilder b.c he was going to spark ruiz. now, they have to go through aj again after dec 7th

Not sure it's Joshua's chin that's the issue. The shot Ruiz buzzed him with was high on the head and his legs never came back. If Joshua is mentally strong as I suspect he is, I think he turns the tables. I'm not liking what I'm hearing about Ruiz losing a lot of weight. I think it's going to weaken him. Joshua looked off the 1st fight from his ring walk. He seemed very aloof. This is a very intriguing rematch.

Solid point there. Didn't really think about that when I made my assessment.

If Ruiz comes in overly depleted and AJ is legit focused, I think I would have to give the nod to Joshua as well.

I would need to see how Ruiz has been living to know if he can win again. If he's humble he has the skills. If he's shitting on a gold toilet and bought his cousins cars then we could have another Buster Douglas.

he'll fight similar to the povetkin fight, esp with the left low vs giving up his height in a high guard so ruiz cant read the jab to the body or head. ruiz was on short notice so aj didn't respect his power like povetkin and got careless in the pocket.   a lot of jabs to the body, 1/2 and grab, wear ruiz down, late stoppage for aj. i wouldn't be surprise if ruiz took a brezeale type beating, no lucking temple shots this fight. either aj gets the belts back or haymon will feed ruiz to wilder ASAP. ruiz is not good enough to hold those belts.  whyte, pulev, usyk or fury beat him.

Wilder Fury 2 in late Februsay.  Winner has Pulev IBF mando.  AJ will most like switch trainers so he wont be fighting Wilder anytime soon.  If Ruiz wins, Haymon has him vacate all but one belt, so Wilder can starch him and become unified. Usyk probably gets the WBO belt but he is Match Room anyway so AJ would get the belt back from him.

They should unify all the titles permanently.  The problem with the way they do it now is after a fighter unifies the belt for that division he has all the different associations wanting him to defend against their #1 contender.  Whoever's contender gets the match the other's strip him of their title because he didn't fight the guy they had lined up.  They will never unify under one organization because of money.

watch the fight, he wasnt hurt, the ref asked him to continue and he just fucked about in the corner and wouldnt walk forward, ref stopped it then he started moaning, he had every opportunity to carry on but his bottle had gone, thats not coming back, he was scared of getting hurt

Usually boxers don't get up to quit ,AJ got up like 4 times , either they get up and say ''no mas'' , quit on the stool , fake an injury ,or stay down for the count ,AJ never recovered from the first knock down , every time he went down after the first knock down it wasn't from a clear punch ,he fell because his legs were gone , there are different types of KO , sometimes you don't even know where you are ,sometimes your head is clear but your body shuts down, it happened to me once sparring , my head was clear  my legs were gone first and after  a minute or two my arms were numb ,I didn't even feel them ,I couldn't continue .

I think you hit the nail on the head the “formula” according too all these boxing trainers, boxing gurus, and arm chair critics is that Joshua has too box him...too beat him.

The problem with that plan is Ruiz comes forward fast has a great chin and more importantly throws several punches @ a time in succession sooner or later he will catch Joshua going straight back and physiologically in Joshua’s mind it’s a “here we go again” mindset  that your correctly pointed out wiggs regarding the over coming those problems so soon.

How does Joshua beat Ruiz??...Well how longs a piece of string in terms of the odds involved of a 6 month turnaround?...go back though the history of heavyweight boxing of these short quick set big money rematches in witch the person in question has been knocked out and the answer may lie in that equation.

Can Joshua win? Absolutely....will he win?...Probably not if history is anything too go bye, Too soon, needs too rebuild confidence, couple of quick violent Kos, and more importantly get his momentum hunger and mindset back on track...you can not do that in 6 months imo

As your said overcoming those problems so soon... is like running up a steep hill blindfolded in the mud in the pouring rain.

LOL, did Tony Harrison quit vs Willie Nelson, or did he take trauma to the meningeal artery in the temple area which takes blood to the brain? once again, impact shots to the temple are similar to getting punched in the ear and having the vestibular system disrupted (most just say, canal or fluid). at the end of the day we are talking dizziness, vertigo and imbalance. ops, Harrison and Joshua showed the signs.  

https://youtu.be/8xfBb0U8oHs?t=220 (https://youtu.be/8xfBb0U8oHs?t=220)

the announcers keep saying, the right hand, but it's the impact shot to the left temple area which froze his legs.  joshua legs and balance went when ruiz caught him with the left hook to the temple.

Post by: Ssxa on November 30, 2019, 12:02:44 AM
Ruiz has the far faster hands, is more fluid with his combinations and has a great chin. That said, people writing Joshua off as an overrated bum are wrong. He has wins over Wlad, Whyte, Parker, Povetkin etc...all top level guys. He’s got good skill, KO power and big heart. I don’t think he quit against Ruiz, he was just never recovered from the temple shot and was clueless on how to deal with Ruiz’s aggression after he got hurt.
For one, he cannot punch in combination with Ruiz, that’s how he kept getting caught. AJ will have to employ the Wlad Klitschko style of jab, jab, grab. Occasional power punch, but fight tall and be selective with his shots. It’s 90% mental, and seeing how he deals with the first big shot Ruiz lands will probably dictate how the fight will go. I’m still 50/50.

Kinda of agree with some of what you say.
Anthony had 3 rounds to recover from the 3rd round knock downs
From the end of round 6 in his corner & when he came out in the 7th
He had no answer to what Andy was doing to him & He was Frightened
You can clearly see it & And as soon as Andy Tagged Him Down he went,
He wanted out - Knew he couldn’t knock Andy out & couldn’t out Box him.

How Much will it have mentally hurt him & has he got over it / changed
His fighting style for the rematch - I’d say Anthony is Still very dangerous
In the opening few rounds for a big Knock out - The Longer it goes I’d
Favour Andy to do the same again, out Box him frustrate & demoralise Him.

Joshua's career-low is around 238.  I guarantee he'll be heavier than that.  Ruiz was also cutting weight but he is reported to be around 260, which he was 266 for the 1st fight.  It's all bull.

This. It's 50/50. Ruiz is quicker to the punch and is a tough guy to crack. OTOH, AJ can still utilize his physical advantages and showed in the first fight that he has the power to hurt Ruiz.

Probably another work, fixed just like the first one to create drama and bigger money. AJ is winning imo.

After seeing some suspect Wilder's ko, that travesty that was Kovalev-Canelo plus the mexican's career as a whole, boxing seems faker and faker.

Today with social media and technology it's much easier to expose this stuff compared to the decades before 2000s.

Ruiz has more power. He punches harder and knows how to bide his time to get that shot in. If Joshua played it smart he would just jab and move taking it to the late rounds where Ruiz might gas if he is active instead of covering up like a bad sparring partner. My prediction is Ruiz will win by KO. Looking at current video of Ruiz he looks  down in weight for him. Curious to see what he will weigh. Nope, not going to win a posing contest but think he's actually taking training more serious than before. He is the people's champ.

how he punches harder when arum and top rank match-makers say he can't punch for a heavyweight?  so a temple shot and multiple knockdowns from the shot make him a hard puncher but Joshua gets up every time?  based on this logic willie nelson is a bigger puncher than jermell charlo. that's why his temple shot dropped harrison.

I'll be right here laughing just like Arum and his match-makers when the fight is over.  Ruiz was an afterthought.  Now, he is superman, and AJ's resume full of top 10 heavyweights is nothing.  See you after the fight when AJ has the belts back, and Ruiz will be on his way to getting knocked out by Wilder b/c PBC still needs to raise his profile.

I think Ruiz would be an eternally bad matchup for Joshua. Fast hands and counterpunching ability is not really the best mix with a hw who can be hurt when you touch his chin with anything serious. That, plus going toe to toe with any mexican fighter and trying to out crack him is usually going to end badly.. Any not named Fernando Vargas, anyway.. He is going to have to make it a boring fight to win. Rack up points jabbing and staying out of Ruiz's wheelhouse.

It's all mental with Joshua. If he's more Lennox Lewis than Mike Tyson,  he wins. If not, he folds. He hits Ruiz with that left hook that knocks out almost any other heavyweight again and doesn't get careless then he can build towards a stoppage or a comfy points win. So many variables here. Ruiz weight and attitude are what I'm most interested in seeing.

I'm just not getting it.  In all the years on this board, no one has ever talked about Andy Ruiz.  Now, he is the ultimate unbeatable mexican heavyweight but his power is similar to Eric Molina.
 :-\  We should start a thread highlighting Willie Nelson than b.c he seems to be an expert at catching you in the pocket with a temple shot also.  Unbelievable how the bandwagon process works.  No short notice replacement this time Ruiz. The fight plays out like Povetkin, slower hands but better footwork and far superior power than ruiz along with head movement and 2nd level fighting (very good at bending at the waist, getting under jabs and popping up with hooks unlike ruiz). AJ will feed him the left with jabs to the head and mid-section, wearing him down and a potentially late stoppage.
. Pretty obvious didn't take him serious the 1st fight.

Ruiz has a great chance of winning the rematch. Hes a better boxer than Joshua. He has faster hands and more coordination. If Joshua is making drastic changes like coming in much lighter, changing his style, it could be a real problem for him. I think his biggest problem with the first fight was his mental preparation.

Ruiz will probably win again in much the same fashion as the first fight. Joshua might do well early but the difference in hand speed and combination punching will be the difference once again.

Ruiz has horrible footwork, doesn't bob or weave, never fights 2nd level (probably can't b.c he is too thick in the waist),  moves forward in straight lines but he is ok at cutting off the rings similar to angulo.   Not sure where people are coming up with this stuff.  Joshua was 236 pounds vs Parker for mobility vs his normal 249 or so.  If he is under this weight then he is making drastic changes.  If he is over, then he is just adjusting for mobility again. Hence, nothing new.

I'm just not getting it.  In all the years on this board, no one has ever talked about Andy Ruiz.  Now, he is the ultimate unbeatable mexican heavyweight but his power is similar to Eric Molina.
 :-\  We should start a thread highlighting Willie Nelson than b.c he seems to be an expert at catching you in the pocket with a temple shot also.  Unbelievable how the bandwagon process works.  No short notice replacement this time Ruiz. The fight plays out like Povetkin, slower hands but better footwork and far superior power than ruiz along with head movement and 2nd level fighting (very good at bending at the waist, getting under jabs and popping up with hooks unlike ruiz). AJ will feed him the left with jabs to the head and mid-section, wearing him down and a potentially late stoppage.
. Pretty obvious didn't take him serious the 1st fight.

I don’t know where you’re getting the unbeatable Mexican from.
Yes he did Beat Anthony & Convincingly he destroyed him Mentally
Can Anthony beat him sure he can - Though why you’re unable to give an unknow
Like John any credit Is a little odd.
Personally I’d like to see John win again - Though with the amount of $s & Hype involved
Around Anthony - I could believe a fix is sorted. Though as stated Anthony is capable of
Producing a win on his own.
Money Talks & Huge Money Talks very loudly.
I also do t see Anthony as This Great Fighter / Boxer.
He’s Good - A younger Klitschko would of Beat him & Lennox would’ve Destroyed Him.

Who said he's unbeatable? I said his skillset is not a great matchup for Joshua and never would be. Sure he's fat, but he has fast hands(fast as in fast, not just for his division), throws in combinations and seems to have decent life in his punches.. That's not great for a guy who can be rocked and has some stamina issues. I think Fury would slaughter Ruiz and wilder would probably look ugly for a time until something vicious got through one of his incoming hooks.

Honestly, for the freak show spectacle fight, Ruiz really has to win now.. He wins this, I don't put him in there with anyone but the winner or wilder-fury. You either cash him out in a big way or if he manages to win again, you get a double payday if that wilder rematch is close enough where neither lose face..  Joshua losing the way he did effectively overcooked the wilder fight. Eddie Hearn is incompetent... Mishandled this spectacularly...

I dont think Ruiz is unbeatable or invincible but Joshua certainly is vulnerable. Also Joshua ain't exactly light on his feet either. Joshua got exposed in the first fight. Even if he wins the rematch his aura of invincibility is gone. He's tarnished. I wouldn't give him much of a chance against Ortiz or Wilder. I'm not sure how he'd match up with Fury.

Andy Ruiz has never been a joke.  At least not to anyone who really follows boxing.  He could arguably be undefeated.  His loss to Joseph Parker was by the narrowest of margins.  Made me sick in the lead up to the Joshua fight hearing "experts" like Teddy Asshole Atlas and others talking about his physique.  It's not a bodybuilding contest.  If it were, Frank Bruno would still be fighting and be like 99-0.

Also, Joshua had the best resume of all the heavyweights up until he lost to Ruiz.  To sleep on him is silly.  He doesn't have a glass jaw.  He took a shot to the temple and his legs never came back.  He didn't not look like himself even during his ringwalk and pre fight introductions.  His pedigree is as good as it gets in the division.  

If he wins in a good fight, a trilogy is in the cards.  If he does Ruiz like Lennox did Rahman, he moves on to the winner of Wilder and Fury.

AJ comes at 237, which was the same weight for the Parker fight.  Like I said, nothing really new since he has done it before.  Lardo came in at 283 (15 lbs more).  ME heat takes a toll on him.  AJ by UD or TKO late.   No short notice opponent this time or temple shots.  Check Michael Montero who said he has always been inconsistent in training in LA.

Hmmmm....well for all his talk about what all those belts mean too him if he believes training whenever he wants eating everything under the sun, partying etc...well that path has been trodden many times before bye many ex champions so perhaps Ruiz knows something we don’t about history witch doesn’t apply too him.

@ 283lbs he’s fast tracked his preparation for the rematch (witch obviously he’s done) should bye all means help Joshua because he won’t get a 3rd chance...here’s his chance take advantage of it and send a message too Mr Ruiz.

I thought the same thing. He didn't look any bigger at the weigh in. The reports were that he was lighter in training camp And he was in better shape.

Wes may be right that it won't make much of a difference. But it could be indicative of a weak training camp.

Joshua was on his way to winning the first fight when he got caught going in for the finish. I think it's a mistake for Joshua to change his style. He should stick with what he does best and make minor adjustments to offset Ruiz advantage in handspeed. It is going to be interesting.

Boxing EGO, LOL!  I'd advise listing to MrBoxingToday, Bruce Vane, RingIQ, Hatman (former amateur), Montero and a few others.  Stay far away from SuperChat hustlers, race-baiters and agenda/narrative-driven channels such as the LDBC, Steve Kim, Sister Girl Conversions from Lipstick Alley aka Barber Shop Conv. Ruiz has worn black in all photo ops. He was definitely sucking his stomach in or may have had a thin waist trimmer on.  Montero knows Ruiz's team from around the gyms in South Cal.  He has a history of laziness, missing as many as 50% of his training sessions and over-eating of course. If you look past of the bandwagon jumpers and the AJ haters b/c they want Wilder to be him, you will see Ruiz is what Bob Arum and Todd duBoef have always said he is.

Joshua may have won, and he may have employed a smart strategy, but it won't look good to many.

He took advantage of his natural gifts.  

He used the height, speed... and longer reach.

But he will be called out by some for not engaging.

Ruiz was game and ready. Joshua wanted no part of it.

I'm sure Wilder and Fury will have a lot to say.

No one respects a guy in boxing that tries to win on points fighting defensively.  I remember watching Hagler vs Leonard thinking this is bullshit. Leonard fought a defensive fight but would come in to throw soft punches in bunches to win points. I have the same criticism about Mayweather. That's why fans hate him. It's called a fight.When Mancini fought Bramble I was in shocked they gave the fight to Bramble twice who fought so defensively that it was clear he didn't want to fight.

I am not interested in these two boxing again anytime soon. Joshua and his camp came up with a winning (and boring)
formula.  I would expect the same outcome in a third bout. 

Screw Ruiz for dicking around with a fantastic opportunity.  He should go back to fighting no-names for the next year,
year and half, while dropping 40-50 lbs.  Then he should campaign for a title shot.  Something tells me we haven't
seen his best.

It was a dominant display of boxing.  AJ showed that he is mentally strong and willing to make changes.  He was in phenomenal condition and looked like he could have gone 12 more rounds.  Some of those hooks and right crosses he hit Ruiz with would have put Wilder and Fury on the seat of their pants.  Ruiz could have been 15 pounds lighter instead of 15 heavier and the result wasn't going to be any different.  I knew from his ring walk that things were different.  He looked shell shocked prior to the last fight.  Don't know if it was fighting in the Garden or what but he looked extremely confident prior to the ringing of the bell. 

Conclusion:  1st fight was a fluke.  He got hit in the sweet spot and never got his legs back.  Ruiz landed some thudding shots on top of and to the back of the head in this fight and they didn't do shit. 

AJ has the best resume' in the division.  Bar none.  Dillian Whyte, Povetkin, Parker, Ruiz, Klitchko.  Need I go on?

Ruiz will have to earn a trilogy.  Fat piece of shit.

Looks like AJ will get his Pulev mandatory out of the way with Usyk fighting on the undercard.  Usyk could be the boogeyman of the division.  Will reserve judgement until he fights a real heavyweight.  But he looks to be the goods and at 6'4 is a legit 21st century heavyweight. 

Fuck the naysayers.  Heavyweight boxing is in the midst of a golden era.  Not 70's or 90's necessarily but better than the 80's, 00's and 10's.

I would like to see Wilder Ruiz, and Ruiz in shape, Joshua and Wilder won't fight, two cash cows into one, its boxing won't happen till one of them nothing left, no different to maywether and Pacquiou fighting when manny was well past his best, But Ruiz with his ability to take a punch is a challenge for anyone, especially with his fast counter left hook, miss or over extend with the right and theres a chance, I see Wilder if he had to fight him doing exactly what AJ did or I see Ruiz knocking him out as well.

LOL, dicking around!  What did I say Arum, Montero, Deboef said about this dude?  He lands a temple, based on a Joshua error and long term boxing fans have to listen to bull from the fanboys and the social media crowd.  He got his 20 mil to lay an egg.  Next, PBC will feed him to Wilder to overshadow Joshua's performance.

Bingo!

But then, Fury will take winner and ride into the sunset as the baddest guy of our time!

I'm waiting for the Tyson Fury movie to be filmed. I think once he beats Wilder and Joshua, he will then retire and a movie will be made. It's got all the makings of a great film.

id agree with that I think the thing most people are over looking with both wilder and Joshua is is that nobody is entertaining the actual thought of what happens when someone is basically the same height, age, has good all round boxing skills and the kicker...also has a tremendous right hand...what happens when Joshua lands his right hand on Wilder?

The talk from most people is that as soon as wilder bangs Joshua the fights over...nobody has even bothered too mention Joshua actually hitting a very easy too hit wilder...styles makes fights make no mistake about that and imo in that particular fight against wilder it’s very feasible Joshua has all the tools too do it, when was the last time Wilder was actually hit really flush and hard bye someone his own age, height, strength etc?

Imo Joshua has (against wilder that is) the style too beat him wether he will beat wilder too the punch is the real question here... if Joshua can set his right hand up and deliver it imo it will be wilder getting knocked out NOT Joshua...in the same breath if wilder lands his well...same result in favour of him he has arguably one of the best straight right hands in history of the heavyweight division the heavyweight version of a prime tommy hearns

The style Joshua won’t cope with imo is obviously Fury...BUT...Fury is very inconsistent and if he doesn’t take Joshua seriously and actually trains hard...fury will hit the deck as well.

Very good analysis. If Wilder throws 17 punches around against AJ, Wilder won't see the 7th round. If AJ is in the shape he was in Saturday when he fights Fury, AJ will win that too.

Joshua isn't fighting Wilder that way. He'd move to Wilder's left, jab to get on the inside and unload combos on Wilder.  Wilder pulls straight with hands up or extended, doesn't punch with you. Fury or Wilder should have taken the fight before Ruiz.  Now, Joshua will become Vlad/Lennox 2.0.  He'll prepare OT for elite opponents.  BTW, he performs best vs tall opponents. IT's short guys like takem, ruiz, povetkin and parker who give him issues.  Joshua will defeat both Wilder and Fury. Someone like Hunter will sneak up and pull the upset like Ruiz but it won't be the 2 clowns.

I respect your opinion, but I think Fury's skill set is comparable to Joshua's. Yes AJ is technically an incredible boxer, but Fury can give him angles he isn't comfortable with. I think AJ and Klitschko are practically the same fighter. AJ is just the upgraded, younger version. I think Fury fucks their flow up pretty badly because he is a little unpredictable at times and then at other times will outbox you in a very technical way. That's frustrating.

What makes you think Wilder's right is more educated than Vlad's?  You better look at Wilder's opponents. Stiverne x 2, Brezeale, 45 yr old HBP Ortiz x 2 and a defeat to Fury.

Refused to fight Vlad for undisputed at 33-0
Refused to fight Whyte for 8-10ml
Refused to fight Joshua for 120 mil.

Keep drinking the Kool-Aid.  He is going to beat Wilder.   Wilder has an Al Haymon crafted PBC resume

I have 0 doubt that Fury will beat Wilder. I think he will do so with relative ease, just as he did in the first fight. That's not in question. My contention is with your position regarding AJ beating Fury.

AJ beats Fury in Wembling in front of 100k.  Fury was offered a 3 fight deal with AJ at the end of it before he took the Wilder deal.  AJ will not walk around the ring vs Fury, trying to land one punch like Wilder and Vlad (actually he was a bit gun shy from Wilder's movement)  

 As horrible as Wilder is, he read Fury's movement in the 12th when he dropped him. Another 36 mins will be lethal for Fury

I think so too. Wilder can be out-boxed comfortably but his explosiveness and awkwardness will always give him a chance against anyone.
I feel Fury will be too fluid and slick for AJ. Fury is deceptively quick and if he is prepared, I can see him making AJ look quite ordinary. Again, AJ has the tools to win and can't be written off with the power he has.

Remember Joshua pieced up and dropped Fury hard when he was an amateur, which Fury has never denied.  Wilder equals Vlad which is much easier for Fury to navigate for 12 rounds vs. a guy of similar size unloading combos with a power punch rating of 35-40%.  Joshua will defeat Fury in Wembling. It's like Khan avoiding Kell Brook. If Joshua gets Wilder in trouble like Ortiz I, Joshua will have to get him out of there. You don't need Wilder hanging around in the later rounds.

I don't think Wilder will fight Fury again and where he does it will be because Fury can only win by distance and theres no way, Fury will get the decision.  If Fury was a heavier puncher he would be getting the same treatment as AJ, Wilder talks the talk, he doesn't walk the walk. He has walked away twice from Hearn and AJ each time terms become acceptable they up them.  If AJ can generate more cash than he can, in my opinion he's entitled to it, Wilder would have made more money fighting AJ than anyone else, he doesn't want the fight.

I can see the Arabs putting up a huge sum to fight in the desert in the next year, no way Wilder will take it.
