I think Vitali dominates him to a clear UD. I think a fight with Wlad resembles his first fight with Peter only in that its a fight where he gets knocked down and beat up once or twice but is able to control most of the fight enough to win a decision. Possibly hurting Ruiz late. People will automatically just spout off that Wlad KOs him, but the truth is that hes a bad matchup for Wlad stylistically and would make him uncomfortable. What will save Wlad though is his jab, his clinching and being cautious.
I don't see 'any' way he beats either. They both fought tall, if he fought Vitali it would be a similar beatdown to the one Arreola copped if it went that long! Wlad would jab and clinch all night, the way he always did, most probably to a wide UD
In a fair fight without being allowed to lean all over Ruiz back , Wlad gets knocked out. He can't deal with that speed and aggression and would wilt within 6 rounds. Vitali wins a decision on the backfoot behind the jab.
How did Lawrence (Boxrec #60 in 2016) survive this terrible aggression and blinding hand speed for 10 rounds?
Fella, your judgement is awful: Dinos history has consistently ripped Ruiz apart, calling him all the names under the son.. Now Ruiz is some ****ing Mexican Tyson cos he got fictional matched up with Vladimir..
How did Kali Meehan who was knocked out in 1 round by Danny Williams survive 12 rounds of Lemon Brewster? And not only survive , but fully deserved to win?
Not at all. Opinions can change overnight. Everybody thinks more of Ruiz now than they did 4 years ago.
Lol Dino has gone straight to Wlads losses & deduced that Ruiz would KO him because he KOd Joshua... That's how ****ing nuanced & original he is He's upset about Joshua losing to a guy he's been making fun out of for years & will now take it out on WK rather than give AJ the same **** he's been giving WK for a decade..
These casual fans need to stop making post. Because fat dough boy Andy Ruiz beat glass chin steroid cheat Anthony Joshua they act like Ruiz is something special. Wlad couldn't take a punch but he was far more skilled than Joshua. He also hit harder. He was much better at everything compared to Joshua. Wlad would easily knock out Ruiz with in a few rounds. Vitali would do the same.
