Just saw this slated for Wlad-Fury undercard. Assuming everything goes through and Oct. rematch comes off ??? this is a pretty interesting match up. Ruiz has to get through yet another 40 yr old opponent first and then it's a title eliminator. Big step for Fury all things considered.
I would say fury has fought the better opposition than elephant seal JR , the HW limit is unlimited but I still not sure Ruiz can make the weight ;).
This is a massive test and a big jump in class. Strange management from Fury's team.
Theyve tried better names than this for Hughie.Quote:

He's a bit of a lump is Ruiz Jr, from what I have seen of him someone with a decent skill set should be able to get past him quite easily.
That being said who knows what he could do if he shed some of the lard that he is carrying
Is the Wlad-Fury rematch really happening in Oct? Hard to care anymore, but this would be a decent undercard fight. Ruiz has nice hands but he's to small and out of shape to get close or make it a high paced fight, though I haven't seen a whole lot of Hughie.

Indeed....I guess they think Ruiz is the weakest guy with the best record they could add to Fury's resume.Quote:

Ruiz is actually Mexican as far as I can tell, born in Mexico at the least...wouldn't want America taking credit for a Mexican fighter.
IF this fight comes off and Ruiz lands anything clean he'll win
You love being wrong;DQuote:

Say what you want about Andy Ruiz Jr...but when one of his fat hamhock fist bounces off of Hughie's empty noggin don't come crying to me the kid has power and decent timing.
I found these 2 recent pictures of Ruiz before his last fight.
Was going to watch Ruiz fight near Fresno on the undercard of Rey Beltran this weekend...but GGG is fighting and my favorite mma fighter Alistair Overeem is challenging for the UFC Heavyweight Title, so I'm going to stay home instead.
Watched some highlights of ruiz and he certainly has power and talent.
I'm looking forward to this fight
I think its interesting
I think the Liakovich fight showed his limitations. Liakovich was completely washed up and he struggled with him.
I honestly don't know how good Hughie is, this is the kind of fight that will show a bit
Good enough to be the only british heavyweight to win a gold at Junior world amateur championships. Hes still only 22 as well.Quote:

Is your vagina starting to weep now Klitschkos retirement has been confirmed?;D
Anyone say anything about Wladimir? Did I miss something? I didn't say anything about Wladimir, I didn't even say anything about noted drug cheat Tyson Fury....I only mentioned noted drug cheat "Baby Hughie" Fury....or has UKAD apologized yet??? Because I'm STILL waiting on that to happen ;DQuote:

Never mind at least it will be at the hands of the next great heavyweight;)
My going what?Quote:

Surprisingly hittable in that one. Think he'll have enough to outbox Hughie but should Hughie win he's mandatory for his brother??? Assuming Wlad sleep walks through rematch again.Quote:

Ruiz jr makes me want to apologize to Joe Hipp right now.

I've seen Andy Ruiz Jr. live in Las Vegas and his power is real... However, he took a step backwards last Saturday night... Andy needs to work on his conditioning and stamina otherwise he's going to be another Chris Areola...
At least Arreola was knocking good fighhters out early. Ruiz is struggling with poor fighters.Quote:

You HOPE Ruiz loses to Hughie.....Andy is a fat tub of shit, but his big old hamburger holding chubby fists do contain some pop and are very quick for the shape he's in.Quote:

I haven't seen Baby Hughie fight, I assume he's not as good as Tyson and I assume he's a similar style so tall, lanky, a bit awkward.....if he gets hit clean by Ruiz he'll feel it.
It's actually a decent fight for Hughie AND Ruiz, 2 undefeated fighters, young guys, good match.

Why am I not surprised this fight is off?
Yep, another fighter to pull out against Hughie :rolleyes:

Was for a mandatory spot and was on a huge show so great exposure.
Obvious this fight was never on, there wasn't a peep out of Ruiz.
I can believe thisQuote:

;D
Although maybe they were using the Furys for publicity?
Maybe they both used each other's names for a bit of publicity.
Fair enough but there was nothing official announced.
Elephant seal VS Pillow fists was hardly top of my list of must see.
If Ruiz and company were just bluffing seems a really dumb move. It's a winnable fight and major career push. Guess he's back to laboring against 40 yr olds on Unimas.
