Anthony Joshua vs Andy Ruiz Jr
Anthony Joshua vs. Andy Ruiz Jr. fight prediction, odds, undercard, expert pick, time,Joshua will be putting his unified heavyweight titles on the line on Saturday night in New York City.
Boxing's most decorated heavyweight champion will finally come to America on Saturday when unbeaten British star Anthony Joshua defends his IBF, WBA and WBO titles in his U.S. debut at New York's Madison Square Garden.
There are enough unique elements of Ruiz's game to a make the style contrast between him and Joshua an interesting one. In fact, there's an argument to be made he's a more compelling opponent than Miller ever was. That doesn't mean, however, oddsmakers are wrong by instilling Joshua as an overwhelming betting favorite.
Although Ruiz has good speed and decent power, he's not overwhelmingly elite at both. It even wouldn't be a stretch to assume he may be able to outbox Joshua at times in some of the early rounds. But ultimately the same conundrum will face Ruiz that all traditionally sized heavyweights currently have in this super-sized era for the division and that's how he'll overcome the size advantage of the 6-foot-6 Joshua.
Considering Joshua won his first world title in just his 16th pro fight, he has been forced to adapt and evolve on the job. Even though his 12-round stamina and slickness has been questioned at times, AJ has done a great job offsetting his flaws with steady improvement. But even if a somewhat flat version of Joshua showed up on Saturday, his power and ability to finish opponents with combinations once he has them hurt may be enough on its own to win the fight.
What that means is that Ruiz isn't likely to get past the sixth round considering once he gets hurt by a big punch from Joshua, it will more than likely push him into a brawl that would speed up his exit.
WBC champion Deontay Wilder is the division's biggest puncher and unbeaten lineal king Tyson Fury is easily the most skilled pure boxer. But Joshua may very well be the most complete of any and should have a chance to make a powerful statement in his U.S. debut.
