they're more or less as i've expected them to be.

Seems high.

Joshua took a pretty good shellacking. He wasn't stopped on a cut or victimized by a poor decision.

When Ruiz opened up, he owned Joshua.

I understand that the odds aren't going to turn completely in Ruiz' favor. Not when he was considered such a longshot the first time.

But they should be narrow. Maybe -220 Joshua.

Ruiz beat him up. We knew he was a good fighter beforehand. Not a tomato can. And I think most of us also knew that Joshua wasn't an ATG.

Considering those factors, Ruiz would be the smart bet the second time around too.

Gift odds on Joshua in the UK.

If Joshua loses again, it's not the end of the world. He has made upwards of 200 Million.

He'll win the rematch. Carelessness cost him this one. That spoke more volumes about the trouble he'd be in vs wilder.

X2.

He'll be properly prepared (mentally) for the rematch and keep his composure. Until then, Ruiz should enjoy his 15 minutes.

Should be interesting to see AJ's next move after the Ruiz rematch.
