    Andy Ruiz just seems so perfect for Wlad, its literally the type of fighter he was built to beat. Keep on the outside, jab and grab. Utilize mobility and never stay in distance for the counter.

    But could current Wlad 40 something year old Wlad beat Andy Ruiz Jr?

    No. Wlad is too old. Wlad was already looking shot in the Jennings fight, so Ruiz’s handspeed would be bad for a 40+ year old Wlad.

    Not enough speed, Ruiz has faster hand speed than Wlad,who will be getting slower by the month at this stage, also Ruiz has a vast experience of dealing with clinching, AJ tried to clinch once but it didn`t work, Ruiz fought better defensively against AJ, than Josh did v Wlad, Ruiz would be harder to hit than AJ was in that battle and has a very tight high guard.
