People are predicting Wilder without factoring in the fact that Ruiz often fights down to the level of his opposition, Ortiz had Wilder out on his feet and may had had the finish without the questionable intervention providing Wilder with much needed recovery time, and was being shut out in the rematch before finding a KO shot - and even factoring that into the equation he's been savagely beaten and KO"d by Fury twice. We haven't even seen how Wilder looks off the back of those two defeats.
He may get past Helenius. But at the top level, in my humble opinion, Wilder is done due to the severe punishment he took in his last 2 fights with Fury. It kind of reminds me a bit of Bowe who was done after both Golota's fights
Ruiz looked horrible last night, unless wilder has no punch resistance left after the fury fights then he should knock ruiz out easily, if ortiz was younger he would have knocked ruiz out with many of those clean shots he landed last night.
Ruiz will wear Dustin Nichols trunks and freeze Wilders brain with cold flashbacks of being put down by the worm
Ruiz fought a southpaw with decent skills and won 5 rounds on my card. Not bad. Wilder is orthodox and can’t box to save his life. Ruiz is a live dog if he can slip a few telegraphed bombs and counter. I wouldn’t bet on this fight. Wilder is overrated.
Would really need to see how Wilder looks against Helenius tbh. Ruiz is very hittable however and Wilder would catch him at some point and probably stops him .
