It's Mexican vs Mexican so there will be a good upswell of support from those boxing lovers, and also, Ruiz and Arreola both have fan friendly styles. They are always worth watching.
Well done bomb squad, well done Mr Haymon. Keep the mismatches coming, Deontay Wilder vs Dustin Nichols 2 and Grandpa Ortiz vs Harold Sconiers later this year!
this 100% mexican fans typically come out to support. which is why Floyd was so shrewd in “demonizing” himself wearing Mexican flag colors & sombrero just like uncle roger used to in his fight with Oscar. main difference between Floyd & Roger is Floyd WON his fight vs the cash cow & roger got KTFO once Floyd became the cash cow he began to fight on all the Mexican holidays there after either against Mexicans or at the very least as many Hispanic / Latino fighters as possible. Brilliant moves by “Money May” Incredible business man & master boxer to boot.
You always have to knock 50k off those numbers. Still, for $50 with a shot opponent and mediocre undercard (which over-delivered a little bit) it's a decent performance.
It had to do alot with the mexican american fanbase. Ruiz rn. Needs a fight to propell him to a mandatory. Maybe a rematch with Parker? Either way, he cant beat Usyk or Fury/Wilder could he? Hmmm
