Ruiz-Povetkin In Mexico September 2019

The two others are busy?? Whats he supposed to do sit still until they have their fights??

 

Well he could fight someone who had won a fight in the last 18 months (Povetkin is past a year already and would be at a year and a half by September) ... or better yet, find someone who has beaten an actual contender in the last few years.

That would be a good start.

 

Ruiz just had two fights back to back.

 

I like it

 

Or he can take a nice tune up fight before facing a top guy again. Nothing wrong with that as long as its not an easy fight after another.

 

What a hell about his hometown are you talking about. Do you dudes even know that Ruiz was born in Imperial Valley, CA and have spent majority of his life in California. Andy Ruiz is as American as Deontay Wilder.
What's next, Joshua should propose that the rematch be held in Lagos, Nigeria.

 

That's how I see it. Povetkin deserved a title shot after losing too Wlad. Too bad he got his 2nd chance at age 39 ( and looked good until getting hit with a bomb ).

Ruiz does not throw a lot of punches, nor does he has Joshua type of power. If Povetkin is in top shape, I think he would win on points on media score cards, but the OP said the fight is in Mexcio.

 

Povetkin absolutely doesn’t deserve a title fight after getting KTFO in a title fight in his last outing and not even fighting again. Too many more deserving, even if it’s a tuneup.

There is absolutely no merit in handing him a title fight. For all we know he’s retired.

 

Something tells me you girls were gonna blubber and cry no matter who the mean bully that crushed your hero fights
