Top notch on the rbr bud. Had a hook and then it got bounced so flying blind ;D. Can't believe Valenzuela getting wiped like that! Glad Mares ended in a draw, hopefully someone gets in his ear and the vultures stop circling.

isaac calling for the tank rematch & devin
That was absolutely brutal. And just yesterday listened to someone in the wind talk about how Ryan and Haney clown Cruz :-X. Like to see it.
chick that sang the mexican anthem was fire, american anthem was butchered
cautious start by both guys. gave the first to luis
luis down in the second
luis trying to counter. andy takes the round but got caught himself
andy credited with a second knockdown in that round but looked like a push
luis has won the first & third for me but was knocked down twice in the second
no much in these other rounds apart from the second. i have in three to one for luis
luis is just doing a bit more for me
Evening chaps just got here in time. Almost. Doesn't look like I missed much?
i don't like the way luis looks when he gets caught but andy not throwing enough. only given the second to andy
Gathering bits and pieces but sounds like Ortiz with the better hands and boxing after dropped. Not clear though because we're watching LSU shoot themselves in the foot 101 times against Florida ;D.
luis gets back on track in the eight
gave andy the nineth but was close
Andys Wilder comparison window is closing.
makes it even for me with the knockdowns
luis gets the tenth
big right hurt luis in the eleventh. luis' left eye is messed up. andy got the eleventh. last round will decide it for me
gave the last round to luis. i have him winning by a point
So Ruiz goes sideways in a close nod? Maybe he got away from the fast combos and loaded up bit much. Ortiz has the punch resistance of a ritz cracker now but full of guile and savvy. Heart too.
andy gets the decision
by one point on one judges card & by three points on the other two cards
the knockdowns won it for andy on the judges cards
they are pushing andy v deontay
Andy Ruiz Jr knocks Luis Ortiz down three times in unanimous decision win
Former world heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr knocked Luis Ortiz down three times en route to a unanimous decision win in their WBC title eliminator.
The 32-year-old American, who is of Mexican heritage, dropped Ortiz twice in round two before putting the Cuban, 43, down again in the seventh.
Ruiz now hopes to face fellow former champion Deontay Wilder, who was ringside in Los Angeles, California.
"I want to be champion again and bring that belt back to Mexico," he said.
Ruiz shocked Anthony Joshua to take his IBF, WBO and WBA titles in June 2019, before the Briton reclaimed the belts in their rematch that December.
Ruiz has since beaten Chris Arreola and now Ortiz, with two of the judges scoring the contest 114-111 in Ruiz's favour, the other 113-112.
"I thought I did a beautiful job boxing and countering," he said. "I thought I showed some different class than I usually do instead of just pressuring him and going forward."
Ruiz now holds a record of 35 wins from 37 fights while it was the third loss of Ortiz's professional career, with the previous two both coming against former WBC champion Wilder.
Ortiz called for a third fight against Wilder but he faces Robert Helenius next month in his first bout since suffering successive defeats by current WBC champion Tyson Fury. Wilder also has the same promoter as Ruiz, Al Haymon.
"He can make this fight happen so let's do it, let's get it on," said Ruiz.
Wilder added: "We're always looking for great exciting fights we love to give the fans.
"So if that's what is lined up next, I've got to handle business and after that, we can get it on."

Ortiz outboxed Ruiz for the majority of the rounds but the knock-downs cost him winning the bout.
Ruiz landed effective right hands but overall did not press enough to capitalise on the knock downs.
The second knock down should not have counted. The scores were close so do not know if that made a difference.
ANDY RUIZ JR secured victory over Luis Ortiz thanks to his three knockdowns - as the close scorecards are revealed.
Ortiz was dropped twice in round two and then again in the seventh but boxed on to hear the final bell.
Ruiz actually took his foot off the gas in the rounds after flooring the Cuban veteran in Los Angeles.
Following the 12 completed rounds, Zachary Young and Eddie Hernandez Sr's scorecards read 111-114 twice in favour of Ruiz.
And Fernando Villarreal had it 112-113 to the Mexican-American, 32, meaning the verdict was unanimous.
But in actual fact, had Ortiz, 43, not had three points docked for being dropped, he would have won on Villarreal's card.
The official had Ortiz winning seven of the 12 rounds, while Young and Hernandez had it even a six apiece.
But the three additional points scored by Ruiz for his knockdowns meant he ran out a winner.
Ortiz ended the fight with a closed eye following a brutal right hand, but now wants a second fight after refusing to retire.
He said: “I want a rematch. I was keeping my hands up but the eyes wasn’t a problem.
“After this do you think I’m done? What do the people want?”
Ruiz has not got back to world title contention since beating Anthony Joshua, 32, in June 2019 but losing the rematch six months later.
Now, he wants to get back to being a busy boxer again and vowed to reign once more.
Ruiz roared: "I do not want to be waiting so long, I want to fight at least three or four times a year.
“I’m ready, I’m hungry man. I want to be champion again, I want to bring that belt back to Mexico.”
