I'm afraid a fit Any Ruiz cannot make the heavyweight minimum limit. Andy got power enough for a heavyweight but I am not sure if a light version have the same impact, especially on a heavy and muscled AJ, bar AJ's face of course.

Andy have good hand speed but we are yet to see his foot work. Andy is an aggressive fighter and if a fit one means an improved footwork too, so he can move well then Joshua gets schooled like a Lomachenko victim.

I like Andy Ruiz to win this rematch.

I think he can still fit into a heavyweight minimum limit. with his current body, the rematch match will be different from the first match, AJ would have known and learned from the first game, but Ruiz is likely to still win this rematch match. this match will take place in Saudi Arabia, this will also be different from the first match. because the first match took place in New York supporters from Ruiz seemed more there. this also affects the mentality of the boxers

Andy Ruiz when he fought Anthony Joshua was over 266 lbs and the minimum weight for a heavy is just 200 lbs and I don't think Andy Ruiz lose 66 lbs in that picture. Don't worry about the power lost because he got shredded by a bit. He only lose fat and not muscles he may even gained some more because of his new training regime. Obviously the biggest gain he will have is the stamina he added becase of his new training. This will increase his chances of lasting multiple rounds much longer compared to before.

It's not going to be a different match, the fight will take off where it left off, I don't see any changes at all, we cannot expect Joshua to be the aggressor this time, because he knows Ruiz has the power and the speed he will likely take the same route doing counter punching and moving a lot, he will take the safest route or strategy but this is boxing anything can happen and they are both heavyweights one punch can make a big difference

I highly doubt that Andy Ruiz will show up in much different shape than his first outing against Joshua.

Having that weight behind his punches surely helped to rock Joshua when he clipped him in the head.

Sure, if he gets lighter he'll have more stamina and speed, but he'll be sacrificing endurance, since all that fat does a great job at absorbing shots.

Then again, I doubt he needs to absorb many body shots against the taller fighter in Joshua.

^ Weird, I don't know why Ruiz will come in the fight much lighter though,  did he wanted to show his speed here? I doubt that he can do that against Joshua in this second fight. I mean he was "perfect" in the first fight and I doubt that Joshua will change his strategy. Well, he can run in the first few rounds but I'm sure that Andy even at a heavier weight can catch up with him and will have success.

For me it will spell the difference here and if Ruiz losses this fight, it's probably because of trying to come up lighter against Joshua.

There is a problem when you are fighting all your life with your natural physic and now he is trying to get into good shape which could have an impact on the outcome in terms of his performance because the feel you had during your career and when you are transformed in terms of body mass and muscle mass and going into a big rematch i do not think it will be a great advantage for Andy Ruiz. I am not an expert but that is how i feel because i had a discussion with a friend who knows about performance and endurance because i was planning to wage a bet on this match.

What do you mean "natural physic"? I'm sure Andy Ruiz and his team have good reasons related to rematch matches in Saudi Arabia. Maybe during the first game andy Ruiz's body makes his stamina drained quickly or maybe there is another reason. looking at Andy's body which is currently lighter it seems I am sure his game will be much different from the first fight.

Anthony Joshua needs to do something with his defense or he's going to get exposed once again. I always say that he will struggle when he fights against people who are very fast and from the Ruiz pictures above am sure that he lost some weight just to do that and he is better defensively than AJ and defense is very important when it comes to boxing. Mayweather's success in the game was mostly due to his defense.

Defending is important in boxing, but only good in defense and not good in attacking, just defense until the end of the game I feel it is boring. IMHO boxing is a time when you fight and entertain the audience. if you just play defensively like Mayweather I think it's very not entertaining. And Andy Ruiz isn't like that, he has a Mexican fighting style and i like that

Yes, I agree with what you said that defending is essential in boxing, but defending too much is boring, which might kill the audience entertainment. But it's there fighting style so ppl/audience can't do anything about it, but sometimes you need to be aggressive, especially if you have a good open target. Yes, most Mexican fighting style is a combination of aggressiveness and pressure fighting with an emphasis on the left hook. I'm rooting for the rematch I’m sure it will be definitely a good fight.

It looks like he wanted speed in the rematch and maybe he thinks that he can be faster if he can lose that extra weight. You can call it a perfect strategy for his in the first fight because Joshua didn't expect that Ruiz can take his punch. But it seems that in the second fight, Ruiz also did some adjustments as well to counter what Joshua will do in this rematch.

For me it will spell the difference here and if Ruiz losses this fight, it's probably because of trying to come up lighter against Joshua.

It's more than that I would say, most of the time the fighter losses if he doesn't have the heart, just like what Joshua shows in the first fight. Once he was knock down in the third round, it seems to be he surrendered already. If Ruiz losses here, I wouldn't say because he was lighter or thinner, but because, maybe because Joshua was more hungrier.

I'm also surprised seeing this picture, it's a big difference, we can easily tell that he will put emphasis on the speed because this is where he beat Joshua with his speed and accuracy, but hopefully, he can maintain the power on those speeds, he will not do something that will let Joshua retake the crown, if  Joshua wins by a split decision a trilogy is forthcoming. 

[roosbit]

What ever happened last time here, am hoping won't repeat itself because we expected a better fight than what we were served with...am honestly hoping to see a better fight from Joshua than what he show cased and getting his butt boxed in the end thanks to that poor display.
Am certain Ruiz will be considered the under dog again but this rematch will be too close to call,might go for the Joshua win this time around

Im 100% that the power would be given into those punches wont really be the same when he was still fat.We cant deny that bodyweight is a big factor on having some heavy punches
and now Ruiz do reduce up that weight then im sure it do really have some cons but lets see if he do able to retain that power inspite of its body transformation.If he do focus on fighting with speed then power should really be constant just the wayback before into their last fight.Combination of these will really be a good one on getting that rematch win.

Joshua is not in the good books of almost others boxers, dont know of any champion that want his success, dont know what is intimidating about him. We believe the first fight was just a well staged drama but with the preparation of Ruiz, Anthony might need to prepare better to get his belt back and might probably put my bet on him to win

You're right with what you said about other boxing fighters not wishing Anthony success but Anthony seems not to be bothered by all that and the preparation of Ruiz either. However, if you check the above picture of Ruiz posted and watch his training videos on instagram you will know that he doesn't lose much weight as showing in the picture.

Either Ruiz become lighter or not I don't see him winning the return match,  perhaps something went wrong with Anthony during the first match,  it was a big surprise seeing Ruiz to defeat him in a knockout punch,.  Who knows maybe it was a fixed match,, gambling companies smiled home that very day due to huge loss from bettors

[DeathAngel]

Saw the body transformation of Ruiz, can’t help but think he’s going to lose power. You can’t lose that much weight & define muscle to replace that weight in such a short period of time.

I got Joshua to win this by KO.
