    Yeah, all the people who said Ruiz was rubbish got a bit of a shock.

    Did anyone else catch the Ortiz Floyd-esk headbutt from Ruiz in round 10? Mexican style mutha farkers.

    He can indeed! Both Parker and Ruiz Jr got hit by some pretty clean shots but neither were fazed.

    Yeah, I wasn't seeing Parker dominating. I just think his jab was enough to steal the rounds. Ruiz had the game plan to win that fight, but maybe not the fitness to deliver it. He took too many rounds off just moving forward, while Parker flicked out jabs to nick the rounds. That's how I saw it anyway....

    He would sure give Wider a tough fight, before Wilder gets a giftwrapped PBC UD. :thumbsup:

    He's definitely better than Dustin Nichols, whom he resembles ...

    P.S. I'm not a Wilder hater, just having a bit of fun

    I'm not brave enough to go with Molina, but... it wouldn't surprise me one bit, imagine Molina lands a few of the bombs on AJ he landed on Wilder, Femi might shatter like a Faberge Egg.

    Ruiz showed a good chin, some fast hands as we expect, however his conditioning played a huge role, he simply wasn't busy enough. If he had that extra conditioning he would have won.

    This fight shows that Parker is a GOOD fighter but his power is not as concussive against good fighters who know how to move their head and cover up, Joshua/Whyte/Povetkin/Fury/Klit/Wilder are all better than Parker, oh and Whyte will brutalise Chisora later, he's an improving fighter who has great work rate and a solid chin and almost KO'd Joshua.

    Nail. Head. Hit. Parker only had one way to the title, and he took it. May have been boring, but as was shown throughout the fight, he would have lost heavily had he come to trade. Boring it may have been, but it was a perfect tactic executed reasonably well. I still think Parker has stamina issues, and lacks real venom in his punches.

    Ruiz could have won than comfortably simply by being busier.
