Could AJ use the same strategy against Wilder as he used against Ruiz?

[sentax]

Would AJ's running and potshots work against Wilder? Wilder has an 84" reach and is a lithe 6'7" athlete not a squat 300 lbs cholo with a 74" reach.

AJ could avoid Ruiz's power shots but can he really duck Wilder's right hand for 12 straight rounds?

[solo20]

no he cant

[MisterPullman]

Nope. Wilder is a lot more powerful, taller, and faster than Ruiz.

[vaynardevil]

the only make sense option is either AJ KO windmill or get kO-ed
aint no way he can avoid for entire 12 rounds

[REDEEMER]

Wilder doesn't have any true jab skills he works around and can't handle movement. AJ would coast but wouldn't take the chance and end the fight sooner than later .AJ can win any way he needs to. The shots Fury hit him with if had AJ power on them its good night and AJ hits to hurt you, he wouldn't have a 12 round win on his mind knowing he's in with another puncher . How is wilder going to knockout AJ if AJ decides to box when hes a back foot fighter with no combinations ? Stop people. Ha

I think he catches AJ at some point after being down on points.


As usual lol.

AJ is fighting the wrong kind of fight against Wilderif he fights like Ruiz 2. He would have a much easier time if he just sat and ****** with Wilder because Wilder needs space to be effective.

If you get inside how is he gonna throw windmills and hit you? He cant. Look at both Fury and Ortiz who have much better defense than AJ. They both still got hit and only Fury had enough chin to survive.

AJ is hella chinny.

If you keep him at range you might see that punch coming but even in Ruiz 2 AJ still showed he doesnt fully understand and isnt a master at judging distance and or slip those shots. Any time he stepped into mid range with Ruiz he got clipped. Wilders range is only long distance.

Imagine this scenario.

AJ wants to fight on the outside and Wilder wants a quick KO because that's all the dude is looking for.

First exchange AJ probes with a long jab that Wilder immediately parries with his lead and throws a straight right followed by a left hook. Wither one hits AJ and its game over. Let's also not pretend like he doesnt get hit by right hands either. By leaving his probing hand so low and having no real defence it just invites that punch that I dont think he can avoid for 12 rounds.

We don't even know if it works against Ruiz. He never showed up...
