He made one of the biggest upsets in the history of boxing last weekend. Before the fight took place, people asked "Who is Ruiz?"
I remember Roy Jones calling Ruiz's 4th fight or so and the other commentator made some remark about his weight and Jones said not to judge a book by its cover and that Ruiz is a special fighter and was going places. That was the first time I saw him...from what I remember it was a quick fight where Andy got hit more than I was expecting him to after Jones' comments...but still managed an easy KO. So Jones saw somethin in Ruiz as far back as 2009 or 2010.
AJ fought outside his home nation for the first time and then got knocked out for the first time in his life.
