Deontay Wilder vs Andy Ruiz in July

I just see Majin Boo by Decision or Wilder by KO. We know Boo's chin is good, so I doubt Wilder gonna crack it. I mean, who has Wilder KOed with a similar chin

Horrible match up for Ruiz.

Wilder by stoppage.

 

Ruiz's corner throws in the napkin inside of 6.

 

I'll take Ruiz on the cards in an ugly fight. Ruiz catches Wilder early with something that hurts him, and he will have Fury flashbacks. I think we see an old and degraded Wilder, and a fresher Ruiz.

 

Wilder struggles for a few rounds before knocking Ruiz out with a massive right hand, like many of his previous fights.

 

I usually favor the better boxer in these scenarios, but there are so many questions in this fight, particularly in relation to Ruiz. Is Ruiz's skill level superior enough to Wilder's to pull it off? Does his excellent chin combined with the skills advantage give him the edge in a distance fight? I know lots are picking Wilder via KO (and for good reason - he obviously hits like a truck), but what if it goes to decision - does this improve Ruiz's chances for victory? Will Ruiz come in some sort of semblance of shape?

 

ROFL

 

I am leaning toward Fat boy shocking the world again.

 

I can see Ruiz causing a lot of problems for Wilder and potentially causing an upset. I think being more short and squat favors Ruiz a bit as he is not stiff and upright like Helenius. I think back to the Wilder Szpilka fight Szpilka seemed to be a harder target for Wilder to hit cleanly before he timed beautifully in the 9th round. Ruiz is much more skilled and I think he will try and bring the fight on the inside try to land looping over hand rights and left hooks. Ruiz won't be a sitting duck for Wilder's straight right hand. I think that the danger for Ruiz will be Wilder's uppercut like how he dropped Ortiz in the first fight. Either way I think it will be a good match up and I can see both guys potentially getting hurt throughout the coarse of the fight however long it goes. Wilder is the rightful favorite but I think it will be a tough fight for both guys.

 

Great fight. Real ace champion vs real ace champion. I don't see Berman Stiverne as a real ace champion. It's an opportunity to see where both boxers are really at right now. IMO Wilder wins by knockout (unless he breaks his arm again). There's no way Wilder will win this fight on points, so I'm predicting a knockout halfway through the fight.

 

The operative word is "tentativo".

 

Wouldn't be surprised if Ruiz could catch Wilder here, despite fighting at range almost exclusively, the minute Wilder rocks someone he rushes them quickly. Should be a fun fight to watch though, wonder if Ruiz's chin will hold up

 

It's understandable that you big Wilder up - it's your pro-Fury angle. Of course you'd do that.

But there's a reason why Wilder has always been a protected champion with a **** resume. In forty-something fights, apart from Fury, the ONLY notable fighter he fought is an ancient Ortiz. He hasn't faced anyone else half-decent. What does that tell you? And no, it's not that others don't want to fight him. It was Wilder who didn't want the smoke against Joshua. He turned down 100 million USD to NOT fight AJ.

Besides, there is a common misconception about Wilder's punching power. He might be the biggest puncher of all time (we can't know that for sure, I mean - how does he compare to Shavers or Foreman, who or what can decide that exactly?), but people think Wilder touches you just once, lays just one glove on you and you are in the shadow realm. That's not the case at all, of course. If it was, he'd have nothing but 1st or no later than 2nd round stoppages only on his resume.

While in reality, plenty of journeymen danced with him for far longer. Wilder needed 5 rounds against Washington, 8 against Arreola, 9 against Szpilka, 11 against Duhaupas, 9 against Molina etc. He couldn't knock a Stiverne out.

I mean, sure, if you want to look at his pre-2010 record when he was fighting 4-6 round bouts in dingy clubs, with fighters recruited from God knows where, you have those 1st round knockouts by the bucket. But is anyone out there who thinks that a Stiverne can avoid getting hit by him for 12 rounds, but a Ruiz won't? Is there anyone out there who thinks a Szpilka caused massive problems for him for 11 rounds, but a Ruiz won't cause problems and won't go the distance? Wilder is slow on his feet and telegraphs his punches so obviously that you can predict them coming even as a spectator watching the fight from home.

The reason Fury fought against Wilder again and again and again is because he knows Wilder is a joke as a boxer. He knows he can beat Wilder with one hand tied behind his back. Wilder would have absolutely no chance against the top guys of the division (Usyk, Fury, Joshua, Ruiz, Joyce).
