DAZN: Andrés Ponce Ruiz Jr. vs. Damian Knyba & Vito Mielnicki Jr. vs. Austin Williams RBR.

Tend to agree.
I hardly ever bet on fights... But I'm angry at myself for not putting at least a small bet on Filip vs. Moses. The value looked too good to pass up.

IF I did, I'd put some/all of the winnings on Knyba. I generally like Ruiz. Who doesn't like a guy who doesn't look like an athlete, but can FIGHT. However, in my view Andy is a major question mark. Very mixed and few performances since his b2b with AJ, surgeries, and up & now down weight. I'm tempted, but haven't looked at the betting spread.

Only the main events. Disappointing - I was hoping to watch the full card. I hurried home so I could watch it, and now I need to wait.

 

Is it just me or is the DAZN audio abnormally low...?

 

My take:

Ruiz is used to be explosive, with great handspeed, and some very solid counterpunching. He hit hard enough to at least budge Miller at times, and Parker recalled him being one of the hardest hitters he ever faced. He is still just a damn plodder who will drop rounds stalking, and trying to set-up a good shot. Also very inactive, and last time he dropped a lot of weight against Arreola, looked a tad deflated.

Knyba was fed a steady stream of cans, producing at least one semi-impressive knockout. A classic tall 1-2 fighter, upright, running away and clinching whenever the engagement is not on his terms (when he is not allowed to work the jab.) Utterly mediocre all around from what I've seen. The Kabayel fight was Agit hard-sparring and trying to impatiently walk the Polish giant down, hurting him with body shots, and perhaps dropping a round when Knyba was in nervous, energy consuming third gear.

Damian could take rounds I reckon, but there is a solid chance he gets caught along the way. If he has the stamina and whiskers to stay in the fight, and Andy faded more than anticipated due to inactivity and injuries --- that's when it gets interesting.

 

It's low.
