From 8.10 onwards JD.

I think it would be harsh to hold that against him as some sort of quitter, he was old as feck in his last fight and getting a pasting off someone half his age and twice his size and ran out of gas. I've always said MT is overrated but he had a cracking chin and the heart of a lion which he gets little credit for.

Lol no mate, I’ve bet for years now and it’s far from a problem.....never really bet more than £50 on anything, all with money I can afford to lose and I genuinely find it interesting to try and find ways to make a few quid out of sport......never played roulette/slots/virtual racing etc as that’s all in the bookies favour so stay well away from it! 

And fair points on everything else mate, and no i didn’t know that about al Capone accountant lol like you say it’s all about time and inclination and not rushing to get a bet on simply to have a bet!

Should be a good fight

Good man....im of the opinion that to make a living or proper money from gambling you need to know stuff others dont.....betting strategies,studying form etc etc is so time consuming that over the course of a lifetime you will probably of made more money in the same time plastering ceilings !!

I,ll have a bet on anything but its just good old competitive fun for me.

Fighters with genuine heart/gameness cant switch it on and off.....i dont remember Muhammad Ali falling away like that he took a horrible and sustained beating off Holmes simply because it wasnt in his make up to go down.....to me Mike Tyson was a rough cur who couldnt take what he dished out.....he quit on Holyfield in what he thought was a bad ass way to get out of a fight he knew he couldnt win.

Ali never lost the gameness his downfall was leaving training a little late or being over confident in training required, I guess he'd proved his worth by then, was sad to see him enter the no holds barred type contests , Tyson was a thug fighter albeit frighteningly effective. Think I prefer the middle weight fights these days not that I watch much boxing, I like Joshua as a sportsman, hope he comes back strong and gets back on track....

I can’t watch Ali’s last couple of fights mate......horrible to watch and should be taken off his pro record imo.....a shadow of the man

I think Joshua has a weak chin at this level. Theyve done so much sales bullshit he doesnt know who he is, he has a different way of talking on every interview depending on who hes trying to be.

[bird 9,594]

they had the weigh in yet ?   what time they in the ring tomorrow ?   come on Aj , think  Ruiz to win again , but you never know, Aj might  catch with some big shots  , think either way it wont go past 9 rounds, what do you reckon  Gnash ?

[MickC 1,825]

Joshua has weighed in nearly 11lb lighter than the first fight and Ruiz has came in 15lb heavier (clothes/shoes on) than the first fight. Ruiz looking to force the fight and Joshua obviously going for mobility,speed and better stamina. As for Tyson he was never the same fighter after Kevin Rooney walked after the Spinks win in his 34th fight. The Tyson we saw in his last fights had no love at all for the game and was only fighting to pay the IRS off and other debtors he had. I can't remember if it was the Francis or Savarese fight in the U.K In 2000 where Warren sued Tyson for money owed and he had to pay up there and then or the fight was off, something like that anyway.

Gatti was game as they come

 

Sorry back to main thread. Think I might stick joshua on to ko between rounds 6-9. Nothing too much. Good day planned mates doing another novice strongman conp going to watch that.  Then back to mines for a game of poker, pizzas and the boxing

Ffs don't let your mates piss on the carpet this time

[shaaark 10,133]

My prediction for the fight. Joshua drops ruiz in the 2nd or 3rd for an eight count, then stops him in the 7th or 8th to regain the title

[jukel123 6,570]

My head says Joshua. My heart and love of the underdog says Ruiz.

Paddy Power got Joshua big 2/5 favourite, Ruiz 11/5. I’ve (just) edged towards AJ, but the bookie won’t be getting any of my money.
