    I'm not paying $50 to watch this. I would, however, expect to see Ruiz stop Arreola in the early to middle rounds. Both fighters appear to be in decent shape for them, but Arreola's face is a testament to all the punishment he's withstood in his career. It wouldn't surprise me if the referee has to step in at some point and halt the fight. Chris is tough, but his face, especially near his eyes, has had enough of this sport.

    Good on bith guys coming into the fight in what appears to be great shape. I still see it as a beatdown by Ruiz, pretty one-sided.

    Ruiz wins by KO. Will be interesting to see how he gets on after all his inactivity.

    Cheap skate. You should give all your hard work earnings to Mr Haymon and the bomb squad. Get your credit cards out immediately! lol

    Can someone please advise me why Professional boxers don't bother to stay in shape?

    A shame they don't take the amazing opportunity given to them seriously.

    I'm sorry but I'm not going to gobble Andy's nuts just because he showed up in less fat shape. He's still a disgrace. Cristobal by KO.

    Who cares? These two lazy fools should have done this when it actually counted, Ruiz in the Joshua rematch and Arreola... throughout his whole career.

    And Arreola at 228 still looks like a sloppy mess, zero muscle definition and saggy boobs. Only now he probably can't take a punch. Awesome stuff.

    He's six one, six even if you believe some sources. There's no reason he couldn't get to around two fifteen, two twenty if he really wanted to.

    Look at Oscar Bonavena. Very similar build and protruding ribcage as Ruiz and was able to fight effectively at a similar weight

    What low standards you have.

    Ruiz looks like his usual flabby self, only slightly less so. Arreola looks like a deflated balloon. Two more unimpressive bodies I couldn't imagine competing in a so-called PPV.

    It's all the advanced nutrition and training techniques scaring them off.
