I find Joshua cringeworthy and he's not helped being managed by Hearn however I did respect his achievements and in bringing some excitement to the heavyweight division. I'm going to watch the fight replay but it seems he got a massive case of the jitters, the ringwalk and moments before the fight began, he looked on edge. I don't think it's just complacency, there were rumours he had a panic attack prior in the dressing room. Best part was Eddie being bawled out by AJ's dad in the ring, hence why the former was so pissed post-match.
Rematch sorted but it's clear Ruiz has punch power to trouble AJ so not a total certainty he regains his belts however on home soil (Eddie will make sure his guy has all the advantages) I'd back him to win.
