    Seamus you scruffy nerfherder you may have created an uglier match up than Ottke-Corro. Ruiz in the ugliest decision possible.

    This may possibly be the most exciting heavyweight fight possible.

    Willard will throw slow jabs and Ruiz will use his skill to hug constantly.

    Seriously though, it's quite close to call. Normally when it's close I would go with the heavier handed fighter. For me that would be Willard.

    Willard by decision

    The short steps, the left arm down, use of the jab e.c.t. ?

    Yes, A LOT OF SIMILARITY, Willard was a Champion and I think he handles Ruiz in a UD win....Willard fights very close to Vitali

    And the say boxing has evolved! The current champ is fighting the same style a dude did around 100 years ago.

    I would pick Ruiz by UD. However, I think I voted the other way.

    I would genuinely consider pulling the trigger on either myself, Willard or Ruiz. Considering I can't stand Ruiz, I'll take Willard by murder.
