Ruiz would crumple him into a ball and throw him in the trash. I LOL at the mere idea of Ward trying to wrestle Ruiz to make him tired. What's he gonna do? He can't dent his chin, he can't brawl with him. I guess he might try running and the nutshot, idk.
Ruiz would destroy Ward and would have destroyed Kov too, too much power and could walk Walk through Ward`s shots with ease plus his hand speed is quicker than most heavies too, his guard is very tight also, Ward has faced nothing like Ruiz during his career, he would be stopped early.
Ward wouldn't take the fight unless he saw a legit way to win. Ward finds a way to beat Ruiz. He's mentally much more formidable. Ruiz can be distracted by a shiny car and a hamburger.
