I say that would be foolish and a waste of precious time.

He dropped a guy who had never been dropped before with the first and only meaningful punch he landed that Ruiz didn't see coming. That does not suggest a firepower problem. Quite the opposite.

He is absolutely doubting his ability to hurt The Fat King of Boxing at this time.

Furthermore, AJ generally does his damage with thudding howitzers that do damage seen or not. The new King of the Boxing Hill is the one with the surprise attacks, which is another facet of AJ’s current psychological hurdles.

Use his strengths dont go into the danger area where Ruiz has the upper hand.

thechump wrote: ↑10 Jun 2019, 08:59 Ye i remember that mate,didnt he call him in as a trainer tho? I would have him teaching AJ how to use the jab rather than training him. AJ should be able to control a fight just by his jab being 6,6,similar to W. Klitschko used to do

Controversial wrote: ↑10 Jun 2019, 04:32 I reckon he needs to drop some weight, work on his stamina and take the fight to Ruiz using his longer reach and utilise the uppercut more. If he fights the same way he is likely to lose again.
