Wladimir Klitschko VS Andy Ruiz Jr

Wlad by late KO or comfortable UD.
He knew what to do with short fighters, jab, jab, grab/shove/push worked wonders even with the likes of Haye who is a lot faster and mobile than Ruiz.


edit: noticed its about 40-yo Wlad. Still the same pick though, he managed to keep AJ honest for majority of their fight and he was far from defensively responsible in that fight.
Even old version of Wlad can perform the gameplay AJ used in the second bout and he’d be far more successful with it too.

 

This is all hogwash and glimpse into the mind of a deluded fanboy.
A younger , fresher and primer Wlad than the one who fought AJ couldn't keep Bryant Jennings outside of his wheelhouse and got docked a point for excessive and illegal holding.

If 41 Klitschko was cable of dancing around the ring behind a snappy jab , then WHY didn't he do it to beat Joshua??? Because he couldn't ...A lumbering half knackered and heavy Joshua found and connected on Wlad with ease.. Hence why the novice AJ knocked him out to victory.
To claim 41 Wlad could stick n move behind a jab like AJ just did is a sad joke...

He couldn't box that way even him his prime, you even admit that yourself in your opening post -- " jab , jab , grab/shove/push "

 

I can agree that Ruiz is better than Chisora. I can also agree that the Wlad camp had some concerns of fighting Chisora. Chisora is an allout pressure fighter though and Ruiz is not. Yeah Ruiz would do damage on he inside but he has to get there and be able to work. I do not see him doing that against prime Wlad. He would have trouble closing the gap as he did against Parker and Joshua. Even if he gets there Wlad would use his illegal tactics of holding and grapping. So to me, prime Wlad on points. Against past prime Wlad, an inshape Ruiz might get the KO.

 

It would be a no contact jab and grab fest from WK...... a total stinker....WK would never engage for the full 12 getting a decision in a stinker.....he did not engage with the heavyweight fraud of the decade, david Pinky toe haye or the russian hype job Poverkin who never won a meaningful fight in his career while hiding in Russia.....replay of the RuizII /AJ fight with even less punches thrown......250 or 300 pound Ruiz, no difference.

OLd WK gets stopped, he aint got no legs or stamina and his glass is going to betray him again....late TKO for Ruiz

 

You'd expect it either to go to point narrowly for wlad, or for him to get ktfo again., half and half.

 

Wlad. He'd irritate the heck out of Andy (despite taking a few monster shots). The flicking, insistent jab would be there in Andy's face again and again, and combinations would pop up regularly.

I just see Andy getting real tired of keeping up with Wlad and eventually getting exhausted and heavily dominated on the way to a 12 round unanimous for Wlad.
