Should be a good one.

Who would you tip to win?

Classic scenario of underdog surprises all by winning first fight then decides to live to excess for several months. AJ takes off some 9lb and Ruiz put on over 15lbs. Result - fight gets stopped with Ruiz getting a hammering around 6th round. Ruiz (and his camp) now £15m richer.

Joshua should be ready for him this time and I wonder I'd Ruiz has the appetite for it now he's made his fortune. I'd still like to see Ruiz put Joahua on his ass though.

You could be right :) FWIW I don't think AJ is that good and doesn't appear to have a solid chin. There's something of the Frank Bruno about him, ie looks like a bodybuilder but that doesn't necessarily make for a good boxer. I remember FB against Tim Witherspoon who looked like he enjoyed his food and certainly carried a few excess pounds but on the other hand he was a decent boxer who had the better of FB (TKO r11). I was surprised the ref allowed the last fight to continue after the last time AJ was knocked down, he didn't appear entirely compos mentis at that point. Anything can happen in the ring but I'd tip Ruiz personally.

It's not a Lewis vs. Rahman situation.

The first fight AJ was out-boxed, out-fought and was basically beaten into submission.

What do you think he can do differently this time?

I don't think that 283lb is going anywhere particularly fast either....

Very dull. Marginal win over short fat bloke, who is technically a much better boxer - as seen down my local , total expenditure £0
I would have bought the beers anyway..
Good win for Lossie today!

He played it sensibly. Good for him. But for me he remains vulnerable. I cannot see him surviving 12 rounds with Wilder. Against Fury it might be closer.
