9/4 PBC on FOX PPV: Andy Ruiz vs Luis Ortiz

[Super Cheech]

114-111 seems about right

lol @ the fight being that close despite 3 knockdowns.

That's exactly why this fight was so hard to predict. Luis Ortiz is clearly the better boxer, but he's just old as shyt. If he wasn't so old, I would have confidently picked him to win this fight.

 

[torcher]

Andys a talented fighter but it seems like he’s regressing

 

[Mashal88]

Ortiz,the supposed boogeyman, has had multiple opportunities to secure big, career-defining wins but has failed to do so. Mental lapses, maybe just overhyped. Idk. Good solid fighter but nothing like people perceived.

 

[Sauce and Footwork]

Ruiz really has such impressive boxing skills, but God he catches a lot of heat to the face just standing around at times. Wilder not gonna be so tame with him

 

[Scientific]

Ortiz is done

43 years old. Went 12 rds. And has a solid resume. He needs to hang em up. Too bad we didn't get him earlier in his career.

You’re right
If Ortiz was 10+ years younger
This fight would be different
Ruiz couldn’t KO a 45 year old Ortiz
Ortiz lasted all 12 rounds

If he can make it to the fight in shape he has a chance. He can take a punch and is a better boxer. He comes in fat Wilder will win against him easy. Probably knock him out based on him not having the stamina needed to counter and avoid Wilder’s punches consistently

Is he really a better boxer than Wilder?

His hand speed is crazy

The "in-shape Ruiz" is kind of like the "focused Broner", it exists in theory but never in practice

He can take a punch but not those right hands from Wilder, they would land sooner rather than later imo, Ruiz isn't good enough defensively to stay out of harms way whatever how less he tries to exchange

 

[Mashal88]

And Ruiz is just..a guy. Old ass Ortiz really made him look bad for most of the fight.

He's like 50 breh
It was well known he was washed coming into this

Ruiz isn't good at all. His defense is garbage eating clean punches like that over and over. Once that chin goes he will be easy money for any decent HW

Andys a talented fighter but it seems like he’s regressing

When you don’t take care of your body that’s what happens. If he isn’t back in the gym in 2 weeks he will keep this trend. You can only age gracefully if you put in the work and have some luck.

Why did Wilder come in the ring just to say a bunch of nothin?

I think Wilder is a ok Boxer, not the most technical, but his knockout ability is top tier. He might be the best knockout boxer right now. To the point he hunts for a Knockout to much.

Ortiz is technically sound, fights within his skillset, can take a punch. He just fat as hell and you can see it because he takes parts of rounds or whole rounds off. If he was in better shape he would be a lot more dangerous.
