Ruiz went into the first 3 rounds trying to impose his typical “all out” combinations and fighting through the knockdown. Fortunately, Reynoso was able reel him back in and box his way through the remaining 3/4 of the fight. I’m glad to see Ruiz has finally realized that fighters will fight him at the distance and he now has some decent footwork to move around and counter. I’d like to see him matched up with another journeyman so that he may sharpen those newly acquired skills and patience. Once he hones those skills, I could see him systematically breaking down opponents and getting a KO canelo style.

Who thinks Ruiz could loose a few more pounds and still pack a punch while being even more fleet of foot?
It was a good entertaining fight. Ruiz showed really fast hands and much better movement than his last flab fest.
Omar Figuroa’s beat down was just brutal. I felt bad for the guy.
Andy looked good despite the ring rust showing. I hope he stays in the gym. I hope King Kong Ortiz is next or a rematch with Chris Arreola.
Repeatedly writing about Ruiz's excuses for losing the Joshua rematch doesn't make them more true than Joshua's excuse for losing their first fight.
It just means that boxing writers are pushing one side's narrative over and over again - it is unbalanced writing.
I would have thought every boxing fan in the world would know Ruiz's excuses by now, whereas they probably don't know Joshua's.
