Deontay Wilder vs John Ruiz, who takes it?

ruiz by suffocation

 

I think Wilder would blast out Ruiz inside 5

 

Wilder can't escape the bear hug.. Ruiz beats him

 

huggy bear

Wilder will be on

the ground shaking

 

Damn, i hate remembering Ruiz. How about Wilder vs Chris Byrd!

 

Nady def played a role in that fight. The entire intrigue for that fight was how was Roy Jones going to respond to John Ruiz roughing him up on the inside.

 

I'm not a Wilder fan but this is an easy job for him honestly. It would have been a complete mismatch. Huggie bear gets KTFO.

 

And give Ruiz some due. He had a few losses go against him that should not have, and even though Haye would have won, had that fight been properly ref'd, Haye would have lost more points and a couple of those knockdowns wouldn't have counted. Haye would have flirted with a DQ.

 

Wilder KO1

 

Saying that Ruiz isn't a decent HW is an insult to all the top HWS that Ruiz beat. You people are a joke.

 

If Ruiz was so bad, he has 20+ losses

 

Ruiz knew how to fight in close and take away Wilder's windmill style.....................Wilder's chin would break if he got caught with a punch..................

 

Ruiz by boring Wilder to sleep in Rd 2... hes like Chamomile tea for insomnia... In all seriousness Wilder would've blasted him inside 5 rounds I think

 

What a load of crap, as usual. In virtually every fight he had against decent competition, Ruiz violated the rules against excessive holding, and should have been disqualified. If the rules were properly enforced against Ruiz, he would have lost against all the top guys he faced.

Worse yet, against Holyfield in the second fight Ruiz - as he had previously against Jimmy Thunder - overacted when hit with body shots to get "low blow" calls. In their second fight, Ruiz should have been counted out in the 8th round. Instead, the ref gave him time to recover from the KD because of his ham acting!

And then, he repeated this against Kirk Johnson, getting a totally bogus DQ "victory" for his acting skills!

Against Golota, Ruiz was knocked down twice, received a point deduction for some illegal tactic so blatant they couldn't ignore it, and outlanded - and yet he still got the decision, perhaps the most outrageous robbery in this era.

Why and how did Ruiz do this? Because after Tua destroyed him, Ruiz and Stone realized he couldn't win against decent fighters within the rules, and when King picked him off the scrap heap and got him undeserved rankings and title shots, his influence also brought a "look the other way" attitude from refs, who know where their bread is buttered. It also helped get a few unjustified decisions, most notably in the Golota fight.

As limited and fraudulent as Wilder is, in a fight contested within the rules of boxing, he bombs glorified clubfigher Ruiz out in a few seconds, like Tua did.

 

Tough call. Wilder has a glass jaw, but Ruiz is so light-hitting and crude, I doubt he can take advantage of it. Ruiz also didn't take the greatest shot when refs forced him to actually fight.
