Two things: 1. Yuck And 2. Ruiz hugs his way to a disputed split decision in an all time snooze fest where the ticket to the fight says “ do not operate machinery while watching this fight. “
Watching Smith vs Ruiz would be a good punishment for violent criminals, terrorists and drug lords. It’ll ensure They’ll never do that shlt again.
I will say that if the Smith of the Witherspoon or Ribalta fights shows up, Ruiz is going to be knocked out in the first round.
I do think that Witherspoon threw that fight, but do you really think that Ruiz would survive Bonecrusher rushing him like that?
ruiz fought 3 wars dead even with Holyfield who was coming off a close 12 round loss to Lennox Lewis. Ruiz also beat a prime Hasim Rahman, Andrew Golota (recently robbed vs Byrd), undefeated Kirk Johnson (just destroyed Maskaev), Jameel Mccline (coming off controversial loss vs Sam Peter)… Ruiz gets underrated.
