Saudi Arabia hosts a bevy of heavyweight fights next weekend including the major Andy Ruiz jr vs Anthony Joshua rematch for the WBO, WBA and IBF world titles.
The books have Michael Hunter as a favorite over Alexander Povetkin. Some people may bite on Povetkin ibn the underdog spot, he is 35-2 with his only losses to Joshua and Klitschko.
Joshua was a more than -1000 favorite the first time around, he won't get that this time but he is still entering as the favorite at -225. Joshua has a lot of questions to answer after the loss and there is the school of thought that Ruiz sort of let the genie out of the bottle. Can Ruiz Jr do it again? Joshua is chinny and even though he went down against Klitschko and got up to win, I do feel Klitschko let him off the hook by being cautious. There is a good bit of footage of Joshua getting rocked in the amatuers as well. I do think Ruiz Jr can do it again, we find out next Saturday.
Comment appreciated.
