Full fight is up on youtube. So it must have passed the grueling Copyright nonsense. Here it is for those who aint seen it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXrHRzerJzs
And in defense of Hanks.....the guy was genuinely overmatched. I think he must have figured he'd use his jab and beat Ruiz from the outside. But Ruiz also has deceptive defense, as he was able to slip and counter nearly every nice jab Hanks threw. I'd pick Hanks to lay Wilder down. :deal
Wow he should be slimming down if he wants to compete at world title level but other than that he looked great.
Ruiz needs to avenge his fellow Butterbean(Finnish Butterbeans) loss against Gjergjaj. Ruiz, Jr/Gjergjaj
Andy Ruiz looks like he packs some pop. He could destroy a few HWs whose chins might not be the best.
Ruiz would SHATTER Wilder's glass jaw. Wilder fights nothing but stiffs because his handlers want to protect his fragile mandible. Wilder would expose that china chin right quick.:yep
Welliver is all but done boxing. He's opened a new gym and has some top level talent training there. He's got a little girl on the way and he eats sleeps and breathes her every leap in mommas womb. I love Chauncey, and he could be a hella contender if he dedicated himself, but alas, he's been smitten, and boxing is no longer his love. He is however a young 30, and when his little girl is wanting that 15K playhouse, ole Chauncey may trim back down into the 230s and make another run. His power was coming around until he fought the imovable force, Tank Williams.:-(
Couple problems with Ruiz. His defense is lacking, sucker for a left hook. Short arms. His punching power is only fair and he is a bit of a plodder. Hanks also busted him up some. A good jab with his short arms will be a problem. Glad to have him aboard, prob best we have atm.
