Weekend 7/12 (Joshua v Ruiz II, Charlo v Hogan, Eubank v Korobov etc)

Morrison J

I really think everything is set up for Joshua to win on points. Luis Pabon is a referee notorious for allowing holding, the ring is apparently 22ft which is bigger than UK ruling allows, Steve Gray is a judge and is notoriously kind to Hearn fighters.

All Joshua needs to do is jab on the outside and hold on the inside, stay on his feet and he'll win. I do think Ruiz is all wrong for him but it's a big task for Ruiz going in knowing he'll need the KO. People say Ruiz was beating Joshua up for multiple rounds last fight but he was beating up a concussed Joshua for multiple rounds. There's a big difference. As long as Joshua keeps his wits about him, stays on his feet and doesn't fight with Ruiz in the pocket he should win.

Big fight for Dennis Hogan tonight too fighting Jermall Charlo in NY. Moving up in weight so big ask for him but he fought very well against Munguia and I'm not convinced the Charlo's are all that. Struggle to see Hogan winning but should give a good account of himself.

Ruiz is muck!

Starting to notice Joshua's breathing with his mouth. Be interesting to see can he keep this up and keep Ruiz off him.

And dropping his hands more. Signs of fatigue slowly showing up.

Win, lose or draw here, I would be fairly confident that AJ's win over Klitschko will be as good as his career gets. Ruiz definitely has weapons, but no way AJ should be as flustered looking as he is at times.

Don't think he's muck, AJ is keeping a lot of distance and he's finding it hard to close it.

I dont think Joshua has properly rocked him yet.

Joshua '' i see 3 of them out there''

Corner '' no he's just very very fat ''

Ruiz only hope here is a KO surely.

This is the round I’ve predicted. KO Joshua

If AJ actually fought like a true champion he might actually take this lad out!!!

Heard there Ruiz is 7kg heavier than last fight

It must be a bit concerning for Joshua that he’s landed quite a few decent hits and Ruiz doesn’t look too rattled.

He trained hard at pie eating contests.

AJ going for the points win maybe

yourdeadwright

AJ sticking to a good game plan but my word Ruiz is so limited, he's not near top5 in the world, Whyte, Fury, Wilder would wipe the floor with him
Also atmosphere is crap

passremarkable

Think round 8 might be it
It’s been fairly underwhelming so far

Was always going to be the tactic. Use the big ring, jab and take it on the cards.

Ruiz is well able to that the hits

awec

Ruiz’s punches are causing issues.

Francie Barrett

AJ flustered again there.

Ruiz needs to keep pushing. Eat a few on the way in if he has to - Joshua can't hurt him.

Get in close and drop him.

Sandor Clegane

Joshua isn't very bright

BorneTobyWilde

Ruiz needs to get going. Just swing

walshb

Not scoring this, but very uninspiring from AJ...

There is an overblown jellybean in front of him, and he’s running away trying to peck, poke and steal a “win.”

YFlyer

Ruiz will knock out AJ in the 11th.

He needs to keep distance, Ruiz wants him in close

No idea why you want him to fight Ruiz in the pocket so badly. It's the reason he lost the first fight. Joshua sticking to a game plan perfectly here.
