Andy Ruiz vs Anthony Joshua II

[Harkorede]

I think that Joshua would fight hard to redeem himself back again. The African wouldn't not give up easily. He has the strength and resilient to go all out.

That's expected because the first fight was an upset, he was the favorite and this time he will surely still be the favorite.
Can't wait to see the odds of the fight, but I think at this early it's still not available yet, but if you guys see some bookies offering an early odds for this fight, please share in this thread, I'll check it out.

I'll be going for Anthony Joshua again, just like I did in the first match up. I think Joshua would definitely win this game, he was overconfident the last and that exactly was what made lose, he had underestimated Ruiz. He'd have learnt his lessons already.

[darklus123]

Joshua is still a very dangerous fighter. Having more than 90% Tko rate in the entire history of boxing is just completely crazy. I really can't personally tell what was his main reason but as you can see during his last fight against Ruiz.

He is quite weaker and not focused. Or maybe there is just something about that fatty guy that earn Joshua's respect. Ruiz jr. can always make it seem to look that his opponent is very easy. Even tho he is not as dangerous as Joshua. This guy can take solid punches and becomes more aggressive after being hit by a solid punch. That's why he should not be under estimated. He had beaten Joshua pretty convincingly. He have done it already so doing it again is not really so impossible

[BUK2016]

I am going for Ruiz here.

Joshua will be more focused in this fight and will no longer underestimate his opponent but the confidence of Ruiz coming into this fight from knocking out the former champ will be immense.

It's a long wait before the fight, I hope no injuries happen to both fighters while training.

I think you have just said it all, Joshua will be more focus and ensure he defeat his opponent to reclaim his lost glory in the world of boxing. Any will come with the intent of winning but will definitely jam the rock in Joshua this time. We all pray that no injury should surface while they train.

This is a match that difficult to predict, but  AJ (1/3) is still more favorable to win this match than Ruiz (9/4). If AJ can prepare and train properly (not like in the previous fight), I think he will win.

Indeed, I can see that AJ is more talented than Ruiz, he just got careless on their previous fight.  AJ has the reach advantage so I guess he need not to bring the fight into brawl, he should box it and move around the ring more. 

[YuginKadoya]

Would history repeat itself? Well, this is a December match for the heavyweight titles, Anthony Joshua needs to redeem himself on winning this fight if he can not win this up it is a game over for him challenging Andy Ruiz again, We can see that both fighters both have 1 loss"If he did it once, he can do it again." with Andy Ruiz that have given Joshua his loss, I guess even if Anthony Joshua had an exceptional strength with his punches Andy Ruiz will just shove him with his defense and he can not let his guard down even though he once defeated Joshua, And Anthony Joshua in the other hand should make his efforts double in this rematch he may never know even though Ruiz winning was only a fluke he could still lose in this match,

I have seen an article about Mike Tyson predicting the match for Andy Ruiz and Anthony Joshua and he quoted "If he did it once, he can do it again."
I guess Tyson is really in favor with Ruiz,

Of course that is possible but I would believe he is in favor with Ruiz if he will put a bet and publish that in the internet.
Boxing is just a regular sport, favorite can be upset but a heavy underdog and that happen during the first fight.
Also, not all boxers can win twice in a row, if you remember Pacman vs Morales, he loss in fight 1 and then won the last 2 fights, it was a trilogy so it could also be possible on this fight if Joshua will redeem himself.

Tyson and Ruiz have extremely similar styles because of their physical builts. Tyson always said that he found being shorter with shorter arms a net positive when dealing wih those towers. Because of the center of gravity being lower, Tyson was able to use his weight from the inside and punish the opponent's body in grueling ways

I also remember him saying that

But I think it is more because the majority of his first fights were with opponents being mostly journeymen and their likes. As soon as he encountered real competition with guys having a far wider reach and who were able to keep him at bay at all times (think Evander Holyfield here with his almost 2m reach, not even speaking of Lennox Lewis), this tactic was no longer available, quite literally, as he couldn't get in close ranges and use his power "from inside" with these boxers

He is a champion and it was his first fight in the United Stakes, so I think he is well prepared for this fight, it's just Ruiz is too good for Joshua, I believe Joshua is in good condition, because he knocks down Ruiz but unfortunately Ruiz can take his punch while he can beat his fast hands and hard punch.

You've got a point here bro, it's very seldom that we could see a champion beaten by an ordinary boxer. Sorry for the description but i think Ruiz is not in level with Joshua at that time of the first fight. This time around Team Joshua will study the tape and see what went wrong and make the necessary adjustment in the rematch. Even oddsmakers are putting Ruiz on the underdog on the betting.

Because of the center of gravity being lower, Tyson was able to use his weight from the inside and punish the opponent's body in grueling ways. This is what Ruiz has said in interviews too. I can see him doing it again, but most likely Joshua will not take any risks, he may go for an extremely technical fight Klitschko style trying to use his massive reach advantage all night long. Ruiz needs to get on the inside, it all comes down to if Ruiz is able to walk across Joshua's jab and start breaking windows on the tall building.

If Ruiz wins I wonder how a Fury - Ruiz fight would look like. I think there's no way Ruiz can get on the inside with Fury, but at this point you can't overlook any of the top HW's.

Yup I have seen it in the article that Ruiz and Tyson really have a similar style that is why he is in favor of Ruiz, Well, after reading your post I guess that Joshua has seen this style and I think that he would surely have a plan about this and will be ready for their next fight, Anthony Joshua is a great fighter and for all that 22 fight he had won, 21 of it he did dominates with a TKO or KO's and only 1 Unanimous Decision, so on the recent fight they had the fans was shock on the result Joshua really did underestimate Ruiz back then, Well I am really torn between this two on what to bet on, Maybe I will just wait for the odds of the exact match.

Well, After seeing some speculation and things that might happen with this match I am now pretty interested in it and curious about what may happen, I can see Joshua may redeem himself and the first fight was a miscalculation on his behalf, Or Ruiz may repeat on what happens on the first fight, I don't really have any decision with the fight for now and will wait for the weight in and the last breach of speculation may conclude in a decision for this.

OK, I'm currently unemployed right now, but your comment is just too good to be ignored. IMO, AJ wasn't fighting with his full ability and looking down to Ruiz. That's why he smiled at the end. He realized his mistakes.

That was an excuse, Joshua has to accept that he loss against Ruiz and should be thankful that Ruiz is a good guy to give him a rematch so he can beat him twice and Joshua would feel that it wasn't luck that made Ruiz won the fight. LOL... I hope that's not gonna happen.

Ruiz is confident too, actually both players are confident but one wrong move could result to a big loss, what Joshua needs to do which I think he already realize is to be more careful in this re match and play smart from the start til the end.

Indeed ,just like what happen to Manny Pacquiao to his rematch against Marquez when he dominates the majority of the game ,he continuously punished Marquez with hard punches that make the man almost lat loss but he’s overconfidence bring him also down she with just a SINGLE punch from Marquez knockouts Him and from there he learned from the mistakes..hope every boxers realized this as well that even if you are the stronger still your opponent ca just killed you with a one Job

If he would beat up Joshua on 2nd time around then its clear that the first win isnt just a fluke nor being too lucky.Im not sure if there would be a 2nd beat up and i do see AJ will really be careful on their rematch yet he's been too careless on their 1st match.The question is, on where the odds would favor during this fight?
Time to bet for AJ this time.

I supported your prediction because Ruiz first win was just a fluke.

Ruiz will definitely not beat Anthony because he has learned from the previous fight and I believed he understands perfectly well what he ought to do in the rematch. Besides, look at the below picture of Anthony and you'll understand his reaction about the first fight.

Everybody knew overconfident was what makes AJ lost his fight against Ruiz but I am concern about the venue of the fight and I don't know if the two fighters have already signed the contract yet because the venue picked was actually the place where tennis players (Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal) once had an incident.

That's been learned for sure and most of conditioning trainers and reviewing camps are already working with this and start creating good strategy to avoid mistakes when it's already on the fight, both fighters have reviewing teams that will keep watching the last previous matches of their opponents trying to learn new sets of combinations to defeat one another.

Well anything do happens yet we wont know on what would Ruiz have plans in mind either he would train too hard and wont give out the same moves again against AJ.Looking on the image you do see on his face that he cant believed on what happened.Didnt expect for Ruiz to open or decide to accept the rematch.

[rosezionjohn]

Joshua will try not to get close this time. He will be dancing around the ring once again and try to use his reach advantage while Ruiz will be patient and pick his shots. I don't think Joshua can sustain the dancing for 12 rounds so Dad Bod for the win!
