Wilder KO2 That picture of Ruiz is a sickening image. Imagine having to spend your days tattooing that sweaty blubber creature in the Californian heat.
It may appear that way going in but if Wilder beats Ruiz with ease, Ruiz will be "bummified" like Helenius or Breazeale. Before Wilder-Helenius people were saying that Helenius would be Wilder's best win after Ortiz, now people probably rate Helenius lower than Stiverne 1, Duhaupas, Szpilka and Washington: all guys who gave Wilder more trouble. Retrospectively people will say that Ruiz struggled with Morales, Liakhovich, Arreola and Ortiz and couldn't stop any of them, whereas Wilder dusted them when they were much younger and fresher. They'll say that Ruiz was another Buster Douglas flash in the pan and that Wilder had dominated shorter, slow-footed fat heavies like Ruiz before.
Ruiz has yet to live up to the hype that surrounded him after he beat joshua, and im guessing its because hes just not that good. Wilder knocks him out.
Should be a very exciting fight. Ruiz has a great chin based on the AJ bout and the Arreola bout. So I don't see him getting Bolivianized with one early punch like Helenius. This is 10X more compelling than Fury-Chisora. And I'm on board with NEVER seeing Fury fight Wilder again.
Ruiz has a lion heart and a hell of chin besides heavy and fast hands. I will always remember when he was KDed by Bodybuilder, he got up, he took and held a right hand harder than that which KDed him without the batting of an eye and landed on Joshua a storm of blows to the temples until knock him out. Ruiz KO Wilder in the middle. Wilder with top fighters has very few chances to win above all if the right hand doesnt enter. Poor dented Beyonce's temples!
Or parting a fat fold and releasing a demonic sludge formed from sweat, lint, pork rinds, and Cheetos.
I am even surprised the wbc is doing something right. The wbc mandatory has to beat a top 15 fighter and a top 10 fighter, that's a pretty high standard in comparison to other organizations. The wilder ruiz winner (wilder early knockout) has definitely earned a shot at the title, but not at fury, it should go against usyk. Usyk will then completely utterly school wilder and then fight fury and school the lazy fat guy with drug problems. So usyk will have had cleaned out the complete heavy elite as he did at cruiser. ATG top 10 p4p!!!
