What they don't promote about HW prospect Andy Ruiz!

[ykdadamaja]

Is that he had a better than average left jab, plus he has a nice hook to the body. The basic fundamentals for any fighter outside of the straight right hand!

He is good but I do not think he will make the top grade. A poor mans Tony Tubbs.

s Tony Tubbs.

Have you seen Tubbs vs. Bowe?

Tubbs knew how to box.

[Vendettos]

Because Ruiz is a techniqueless, out of shape slugger who won't last a minute at a high class.


Promoters generally promote fighter who they believe can make it big, it costs money to promote and no one will waste it on people who clearly wont make it.

Ruiz falls into the category of someone who wont make it.

He's always looked like a smaller Arreola at best, to me. I don't think there would be a lot of confidence in him either.

[ykdadamaja]

His hand speed is sneaky... his power is also sneakier... his chin is decent... he surprises...

So does Ruiz, good fast hands but he is overweight.

His body type is one that won't allow him to get in real shape... some people are just big. He's a big guy. If he were to get in real shape, he would probably be fighting at Super Middle.
