    Ibeabuchi was overrated in his two-fight "prime." Today, he just gets obliterated. Maybe that will end some of the ridiculous over-rating of this guy.

    Its like a car wreck, you can't help but look....but not me, I like to get out and personally examine the mangled body show; pointing out the obvious, like the broke leg poking through the ruptured gas tank...!!!

    Hopefully, while training he will just go ahead and pay the hookers up front.

    Even if he gets ktfo, how the **** does that change the potential he had in his prime.

    If he beats fat boy his rep will grow even further. This is win/win for Ike

    If George Foreman could win a title aged 45 so could Ike

    This is way too much for Ike's first fight. He needs to fight Wilder's level of opposition for a year or two to get into the grove of things before stepping it up to Ruiz.

    I agree but high risk high reward is what boxing should be about. If he beats down Ruiz, he is a top 20 heavyweight

    The man is too out of shape, physically and mentally, to handle a young power puncher with good hand speed and mexican approach to conditioning. This will be the first loss on Ike's perfect record.

    Ruiz reminds me of Joe Hipp; underestimated physique , but great potential.
    Just ask Morrisson.

    Tommy Morrison is dead. So nobody's asking him anything.

    Hipp got knocked out by Morrison. And Hipp got knocked out by Seldon. And Hipp got knocked out by Ross Puritty. And Hipp got knocked out by Bert Cooper.

    Hipp didn't beat anyone. And I'd have picked Hipp to beat Ruiz.

    If Ruiz defeats Ike, he'd be the best guy Ruiz ever defeated. And Ike hasn't fought in 17 years.

    Ruiz is awful. Truly awful. No power. No skills. No conditioning.

    He's actually the perfect opponent for Ibeabuchi to face. He's short. Slow. No head movement. And he's got a gift rating because his promoter is connected.

    Liakhovich is shot, and he appeared to outpoint Ruiz. Ike hit harder than Sergei.

    Ike by TKO. Ruiz quits on his stool.

    Foreman was out of the ring for 10 years, and had YEARS of tune ups before even challenging for a belt nevermind winning one.

    Foreman came back against Steve Zouski. If you watch Zouski and Andy Ruiz, they are basically the same guy.

    (I wish I was being sarcastic, but I'm not.)
