The first fight was a battle that featured both fighters power and gusto. Ceja came off the deck in the 3rd to stop Ruiz in the 5th round. At the time of the stoppage Ruiz led on all 3 cards. The rematch is set for 2/27 on the Santa Cruz - Martinez undercard. The bookies opened the rematch at Ceja -120 and Ruiz -110, so damn near a Pick 'Em. How do you folks see this one going? I am backing Ceja to repeat in similar fashion.
Same as the first, Ceja has too much power for Ruiz and the first flush hard left hook he lands, down goes Ruiz again.
Vargas fighting the winner would be a huge step up. But I think highly of him and think he could outbox Ceja as long as he fights with great attention. Ruiz would be an interesting opponent with his length/power combo, but I like Vargas in that one too.
