May be the hand speed of Andy Ruiz is slow to you as you are sitting in front of a high definition television and watching the fight in slow motion Please do not compare the hand speed of small kids with the big boys  If you are aware you are comparing with a fighter who started fighting at 112 lb to the hand speed of a heavyweight fighter  .

If you can predict the fight result by just watching the training then you could have won many bets till now, a millionaire in the betting world luring the forum, cast your fight prediction at all times so that minions like us could make some money .

I guess you don't calculate the time span of the fast hand of Ruiz because he's somehow slow to me and you mention Pacman to be fast I will agree with you.
You'll understand that it not difficult to predict who will actually the winner of the rematch between the two if you follow them well and watch their training improvement.

The way in which Anthony Joshua winning the rematch is by a knockout and i am not expecting him to go the distance and if it goes the distance it will favor Andy Ruiz as he is much technical in his approach and fast hands for a heavyweight, as mentioned earlier by some users his reduced weight might play a factor but Anthony Joshua is not famous for being a technical wizard, his power is his weapon and now he is facing elite level boxers and Ruiz was just the start and the rematch determines how his future will be.

The deciding moment will happen after the last bell and whoever will win is deserving as both fighters have their own styles and since this a rematch
the much hunger boxers will be more aggressive to get the title. With how Joshua take the loss seriously momentum would be on his side though Ruiz in the other hands already have a good glimpse on how he will manage to change paces and never to allow Joshua to see the same style of fighting and make another surprise.

Although I like Andy for his nature and past records, I am sure Joshua wont let any stone unturned in the rematch this time. Yes, Joshua would be all prepared to win back all that he lost to Andy and Andy must be aware of it. I am guessing 8th round K.O. too and indeed this rematch going to be exciting

Yes i was talking about UFC 242 which also took place in the Middle East.

If Anthony Joshua win this fight then we will see a third fight, this time we have more talented heavyweights in a very long time and every fight is interesting.

The body transformation will be a major factor in the rematch and if he is not able to perform like he used to then we can have a conclusive answer because in the heavyweight division one shot can end the fight and if Ruiz is not able to move like he used to then he is going to sleep.

It is hard to estimate now how Anthony Joshua will counter the fast hands of Andy Ruiz, even if Joshua underestimated him in the first fight it is very difficult to predict that he will be much equipped to take him on as Ruiz was much faster and Joshua was not having any defense for his fast hands and he quit in the corner which shows his weak heart and he will easily give up. If you think on a positive side we can think that he is smart enough to reduce the damage but his weakness is exposed, by 7 December 2019 we will get a concrete answer.

You're right with what you said and this is also the reason why I believed Joshua is the winner of the rematch because he has realized his mistake and he's so calculative and doesn't even let the rematch bother his emotion while Ruiz in the other hand was training to lose weight.


A lot of Ruiz supporters/fans don't know this before they are wow with the transformation which will affect his performance in the ring when he meets Joshua in the rematch.

The defeat in the first fight did make me surprised because many who support Joshua. if in this rematch Joshua still can't beat Andy Ruiz I'm sure it will disrupt the AJ1 career going forward, and on the other hand it will further enhance to Andy Ruiz popularity.

Yes, the Gulf states are very rich. And they are trying their best to become oil dependent as oil is not forever. They are investing a lot, be it tourism and finance.


Thou shall not speak of the goat. Because there can be only one.

Lineal > The Ring > WBA/WBC/IBF/WBO

Most probably he is pertaining to UFC 242: Nurmagomedov vs Poirier. Khabib won against his opponent by rear naked choke and remains unbeaten in his fighting record.
Hmm, I think Joshua already learned his lesson. For sure he will jow take Ruiz as his biggest threat of his career . My faith is still for Joshua but if Ruiz beat him up once again then we all know who is now the real goat between two of them

Which UFC event?

Andy Ruiz and his team held tough against a UK venue which Hearn confidently wanted but failed. Ruiz wanted the rematch in Mexico or the USA. These prompted Hearn to look for another venue that cannot give Andy a home advantage. At first, Ruiz and his team are also very hesitant on Saudi Arabia saying that it is not an open country and its friends and relatives may feel unsafe. Maybe Hearn's contract rematch is full of loopholes that allowed Andy Ruiz taking advantage like the UK venue and the additional money that Hearn once again gave in.   

On the other hand Saudi Arabia recently is staging more boxing fights. Maybe that World Boxing Super Series finals George Groves vs Callum Smith was a big success. Then followed past prime but still popular Amir Khan. There is also the possibility that those fights didn't do well financially for the kingdom but the goal might be to promote Saudi Arabia world wide on sports and other big events. Remember, the kingdom is planning to build a multi billion dollar gambling city in the desert. Taking AJ vs Ruiz rematch is another big fight in the kingdom's resume of events.

   

I agree. Actually Andy Ruiz has more experience lasting long rounds than AJ.

Latest news. Hearn said that AJ is 100% focus on this rematch. He is now sparring small chubby fighters. But but...Andy is not chubby anymore?

My prediction is Andy Ruiz by stoppage.

Why are all the fights being focusing in middle east recently, there was a big UFC event if middle east recently and it was a big success and the boxing world is trying to cash in that opportunity i think because of these announcement. What i find amusing is that Saudi Arabia is building a stadium entirely for this match  . You cannot find these things anywhere in the world other than in the middle east.

I was watching the fight live and i never felt that Andy Ruiz had stamina issues and i am looking forward to this rematch and if Anthony Joshua losses this one the hype train is derailed for good.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Damn this is some transformation!! And this lad is looking sharp.

Is this not just Photoshoped?? Looks Too good to be true , off to YouTube

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.
