Ruiz early for me.
Listen you ape wolf. I am not a magpie and dont pretend to be the best made up person online. Stop typing with your stupid fingers you not know well… anything.
Wow look at Ruiz’s six pack 😀
Ruiz up 12lbs from the Arreola fight, but he’s the same weight he was in the first Joshua fight. I still got Ruiz, I think Ortiz’ legs are gone.
Ortiz by stoppage.
Both fighters have been knocked down in their fighting careers right along with Oritz being KO’d as well. However, Ruiz better measure his distance from Ortiz well or he may taste a left cross that may induce some damage. Keep in mind we have seen Ruiz get distracted with his personal life and lose fights all because he was not focused and fame went to his head. Arturo, your prediction is very feasible if Ruiz does not keep his distance from the left crosses. I will go with Ruiz on split decision. I think the fight will be dangerous the first half and dwindle in the last half due to their a struggling war of nutrition. Happy Labor day weekend!
Ruiz is just big boned lol
I think 3 pounds of that weight is ink at this point.
No Ruiz is just fat.
When it comes to Ruiz he will never be the lightest guy, but he has great stamina. This is one of the true 50/50 fights. I can see both these guys winning by KO or on points and maybe even a draw. Both have power and lots of skill. I cant even hope for one of them because there is nothing bad I can say about either guy. Wilder and AJ losing the titles really open up a lot of great fights. Both guys can now just match up with anyone and there is no agency holding them back. Let Fury and Usyk fight it out all they want. Id rather see AJ vs Ruiz 3, or Facing Ortiz. Same for Wilder facing any of these other guys. With the titles off these guys there is less purse splits and most can do a 50/50 or 60/40 and the fights can finally be made. I see about 10 great fights now able to be made. The next few years has endless potential for great non title heavyweight fights.
Thats it dough boy, suck in the gut
LOL, I was waiting for someone to make this comment!
I’m picking Ortiz. Ortiz had Wilder almost KO’d in round 8 of their first fight and Wilder’s “deep pocket” handlers had to dive in with their cheating to save him, stopping the fight mid round so the actor dressed up as a ring doctor could “examine” him. Hardly the only time Wilder cheated, and Ortiz got robbed.
Hotel Dixie boxing club. You should start your own movie making production with the bullshit you spew. You sound like a little rat. Stfu and go find a gutter. Pussy
What did I say that wasn’t 100% true? Or r u only capable of hysterically calling names like a spoiled little brat?
Why r there 10 thumbs down? Do u people have memory spans of about 60 seconds? You don’t remember when Pauli Malignaggi, who was commentating, shouted “Hey they can’t do that!”? Last i looked i couldn’t even find round eight of the 1st Ortiz-Wilder fight online. They disappeared it. Ortiz, when asked about it , said “Wilder’s handlers have deep pockets”.
Hotel Dixie, you are 100000% correct on your assessment of Bum Squad. These people have no idea and they think integrity exists in boxing.
Thanks, brother.
I had read that Ruiz was coming in “lean and mean”. And that’s what they said before the second Joshua fight. Let’s face it. Like Joe Hipp, Buster Mathis, Tony Tubbs, and all of the other obese heavyweight contenders, they can beat 2nd tier heavyweights, but excess fat doesn’t give them an advantage. It is baggage that has no effect on punching power, and it tires them out. Ruiz may get lucky against this middle-aged Ortiz. I doubt it.
Buster Mathis was 300 pounds but got as low as 220. Joe Hipp and Tony Tubbs were never as fat as Ruiz is. At least in Tubbs and Hipps prime/
So what if he is fatter than ortiz. Ortiz was sent dreaming by wilder. Ruiz got up after he went down by Joshua and proceeded to fight back. Ruiz by knockout!
Whoever controls the the momentum is who will win this fight. Ortiz does have one punch knock out power especially with his straight left and also uppercut. Ruiz usually gets his knockouts from a combination of punches and not a single ending punch. If I was a betting man I would go with Ortiz because knowledge is power and he has a lots of it. He would have beaten wilder if he did not get so overconfident because he was making it look easy, winning every round until he ran into that right hand.
If Ruiz is going to win this fight he will have to throw combinations and never give Ortiz time to think of a way to win. He has to be first. Both are excellent fighter.
One of those fights where, for me, difficult to choose because both are such good hearted guys. Ok, rooting for the 43 y old in this fight.
I am too. I have no malice toward either guy, but I feel like Ortiz in the the 18th hole and headed for the clubhouse. Ruiz, on the other hand, is holding up everyone else picking up snacks at every hole from the food cart. I don’t see either guy as more than a fringe top 10er at this point.
I think this will be a boring fight; no action.
Ruiz by decision.
Ruiz probably should win but Ortiz ,at +255 with his KO power, worth betting on.
