And just another proof how underrated wilder is...

    You left out that Wilder had a broken hand and a torn bicep against Arreola and still stopped him.

    (Not to mention that Arreola was 36 years old then, and not a 40-year-old with seven losses now. And not to mention that Ruiz had a 30-pound weight advantage over Arreola Saturday, while Wilder gave up 20 pounds to Arreola when they fought. But let's not focus on that.)

    Seems like that would be the headline ... If Ruiz had suffered a broken hand and a torn bicep against Arreola Saturday, but still stopped the 40-year-old Chris.

    Wouldn't it?

    Doubt people would be leaving that out ... that Ruiz needed a surgery to repair the torn bicep and two surgeries to repair his broken hand ... but still stopped Arreola.

    Seems like it would be a glaring omission if Ruiz had overcome such obstacles to stop Arreola, and people just ignored it.

    Right?

    Excellent post, particularly the observation regarding the change in Ruiz's offensive posture following the knockdown.

    Goossen trainen Arreola in 2021 beats Ramirez trained Arreola from 2015 with ease...
