    Hopefully they don't smuggle in any big mac and fries for Andy's changing room. That Joshua vs Ruiz 2 fight was a disgrace.

    Hopefully it bombs.
    Fury deserves to be punished.
    And if Ruiz wasn't a Mexican-American-Mexican-Murican, he'd have no following at this point, but I suppose because he is there is still a market to sell his 'brand' to.
    I would expect a boring Chisora II-III type domination by Fury.
    An attrition stoppage seems very possible.
    But Ruiz is so slow that Fury might even be able to KO him properly.

    mmmm, I would expect fury winning by stoppage/wide decision. But tbh, thinking that Ruiz is a "slow fighter" imho is a mistake that could cost really expensive to anyone making it.

    But I mostly agree with you, even if I'm a fury's fan, this fight firing him back would be awesome. Karma is a *****, and I dont like at all how he has dodged "the" fight that we all want.

    Good fight but not THEE fight we want to see as well as Ruiz looking poor in his outings since the Joshua win , this fight will either go the way of a Chisora type fight with Ruiz painfully getting his head boxed off as already mentioned or Fury intends to make a statement and stops him mid-late rounds. Then the Undisputed fight in December as according to a lot of the rumours currently circulating :aplastao:

    Fury really wasn't that impressive against Del Boy IMO, I like this fight. As long as Fury gets his ass in the ring I look forward to it

    Fury only turns it on when he needs to.

    He can fight Del boy with 1 hand half asleep and his feet up and make light work of it. Unlike most of the heavyweight division. That's the level of Fury.

    Moment he started feeling his hands hurt from hitting that dome he backed off and left it to the ref or corner.

    Ruiz is only remotely exciting against guys he can floor.

    The only thing to see is how well Fury holds up since we last saw him.

    This is like a fight that ticks all the boxes for being acceptable yet since its Tyson Fury who is the biggest and baddest heavyweight of all times then it's just a horrible fight. Id rather see Ngannou or Thor Bjornson fight Fury than to see this match take place. As for Fury vs Usyk it would be just as horrible as this fight. Usyk vs Ruiz would however be super interesting and I'd be picking Ruiz to win that one.

    This fight sort of exposes the Usyk fans who were demanding that fight but against this one. Ruiz is a much bigger threat to Fury than featherfisted Usyk ever was but since he isn't Ukrainian or eastern european then the Usyk fans simply don't want to see it.

    Honestly if Ruiz Jr was Ukrainian then I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between him and Usyk.

    Usyk Witherspoon might as well be the original Usyk AJ also, two big useless lumps.

    Style wise, it feels a boring fight, but Fury may make a mistake and get dropped in there.

    Thing is Ruiz is world top 7 HW, so it is a legit title defense.

    From my part I would like the Makhmudov, Sanchez or Bakole matchups better than Ruiz

    It will be boring 12-0 decision just like Joshua vs Ruiz 2.
