Deontay Wilder vs. Andy Ruiz Jr.

Ruiz is a sucker for the right hand and we all know what Wilder's best punch is. Wilder via late KO.

 

Wilder would control distance better than AJ

Wilder would not lose focus like AJ or lower his expectations. I think WIlder takes him, but Ruiz Jr has a strong chance.

 

It depends on Wilder. If he fights Ruiz smart and makes Ruiz move around the ring and use his legs up Wilder might get the stoppage, but if he comes out throwing wild punches like he did against Fury and Breazeale Ruiz has a good chance of beating him.

 

Wilder by early to mid KO stoppage.

 

Tough call, Ruiz has the better skills , but Wilder knows the game plan & ain't gonna fall for it like Ego boy Joshua did, Plus I think Wilder respects Ruiz & his abilty, so might be a little cagey from wilder.

 

If Wilder doesn't put Ruiz away with with the right hand and just hurts him, he will windmill and Ruiz has good shot of making Wilder pay.

 

Ruiz is the more skilled fighter by far, and might be able to take Wilder’s best shots. It’s still really a guess at this point though. I think we will all learn a lot more about Ruiz after the Joshua rematch. If Ruiz beats Joshua in similar fashion, then I am definitely going to go with Ruiz beating Wilder by KO, or points.

 

I would favor Wilder 70/30, but a dangerous and good fight.

 

Anyone in the top 10 stops fat, lazy Ruiz. Wilder is just one of many.

 

if ruiz can get in he has a shot

 

Wilder by a knockout

 

It would be a ko either way. I am going with Ruiz. First time I saw him I thought he would cause Wilder problems. Less skilled boxers have. Ruiz is tough mentally and has skills. Wilder's right hand is exceptional. Exceptional but not magic. It doesn't knock out everyone it touches. Least not all the time. Putting my money on Ruz. Not the farm...just a little money.

 

Ruiz would beat that lanky fool's ass.

Wilder would try to keep things long with the jab/Ruiz would stalk him behind a high guard, bobbing and weaving subtly to take the edge off Wilder's jabs, all the while manoeuvring Wilder back to the ropes/sooner or later Wilder would fancy his chances and try to go for a big right hand followed by a flurry, at which point Ruiz makes him pay big time.

If Wilder was smart he'd stay the hell away from Ruiz. It's a really bad style matchup for him.
