Andy Ruiz Jr vs Luis Ortiz - Prediction and discussion

This content is protected

 

I like Ruiz by stoppage, his hands are too fast and I think Ortiz doesn’t have the stamina or chin to keep up.

 

We'll see. Everyone's waiting for the floor to fall out from under Luis Ortiz. For all the jokes about his age going back five years now, he is in his 40s and winding down his career.

But Andy Ruiz didn't want this fight. Luis Ortiz has been calling out Andy for a while. Ortiz did it again after the Martin fight.

I believe Andy's deal with PBC is about over. He was ready to bolt to TRILLER and he actually announced in April a fight with Tyrone Spong on the FITE app this summer... and PBC said "Slow down, Andy. You're still under contract. You're fighting Luis Ortiz."

Then Ruiz, even though he was posting videos of how "ripped" he was in the spring, needed SIX MONTHS to prepare for Ortiz. So they had to push the fight back to September.

Maybe Ruiz is in tremendous condition and will win. But, in his last two outings, he lost a near shutout to Joshua in an embarrassing performance and "a totally fit" Ruiz was given Chris Arreola in a PPV to "showcase" him and Ruiz was nearly stopped in two rounds.

This bout is pretty much a tossup. Either guy could win. The loser likely is finished as a contender. Should be fun!

 

Father time has been trying to defeat Luis Ortiz for the last 20 years but the man still operating at a decent level. Fathertime will eventually win but I think Ortiz can beat Ruiz. For the betterment of the Heavyweight division a clean decisive Andy Ruiz win can shake things up nicely.

 

Ruizs fast hands win the day.

 

I will definitely be pulling for King Kong, he’s a good dude and I want him to get all he can before he retires.

 

Ruiz is younger and fresher. Think King King will lose a wide decision as his stamina betrays him.

 

Fun fight, Ruiz should win this but it wont be easy. Andy will probably have to pick himself up off the canvas to win this fight.

 

Ruiz Jr should win, he's a much younger man.

But, Ruiz seems less dedicated than he should be to boxing, his fitness and performance against Joshua in the rematch was poor, and he didn't look anything like a top 10 heavyweight in his fight with Arreola.

So a win by old Ortiz would not be surprising.

 

Ruiz WIDE UD

 

Interesting fight where I think anything can happen. They both looked vulnerable in their last fights so who knows. I think the boxing establishment wants to see Ruiz win as he's younger and maybe a bit more marketable to the casuals with his win over Joshua. I'm guessing Ortiz by KO or Ruiz by robbery if it goes the distance.

 

Im hoping for an Ortiz KO, just to destroy Joshua's resume

 

Luis Ortiz's dreams of a world championship, which he has kept alive since Tex Richard drew the color line and refused him a shot at Jack Dempsey, come crashing to a final halt.
