If I was his trainer, first thing I'd do is we'd get to a mutual understanding. I would not be subjected to another embarrassment of that magnitude again. "We're all professionals here... and if you're going to waste my time by not taking training seriously and showing up like a bloated whale and zero game plan.... I've got other fighters I can go train." Andy Douglas Ruiz needs some psychological slapping around right about now.

Once we got that straight, then I'd go about the business of finding his next opponents.

Ruiz's skills are still there. The fast hands... the power in both hands... the ability to throw multiple punches with power from different angles. His biggest weakness is between the ears... and the other one is right between his nose and his chin.

He can get right back on the horse, as long as opponents will have him. Like someone said... Ruiz is now in "high-risk, low-reward" territory, at least for now. He looked so miserable in his rematch, he deserves to be taken back a few pegs. Let him earn his way back up the ladder. So as his trainer I'd try to get him fights against the top contenders (after we had our psychological slapping around talk)..... but of course if I was involved in boxing rankings, I'd drop Ruiz down a few notches and have him fight a couple of scrubs first... as punishment.
