Wilder v Ruiz planned for later this year

[Gandalf]

This is an excellent matchup. Styles, stage of career etc. Could be fun. This contest has my hearty approval.

A fat bloke against a damaged bloke. This is actually a decent fight on paper but you could get a gunshy Wilder fiddling away against a tub of lard who hasn't taken it seriously and is just picking up a cheque.

I had to google the Ruiz Arreola PPV thing. It's hard to believe that they're actually going to do that.

I'd like to see this fight!
Think I'd favour Ruiz too. He's seemingly getting himself into some decent shape, and Wilder is probably psychologically damaged. Ruiz outboxes Wilder all day, but Deontay still has that huge equiliser which, up until Fury came along, always seemed to get the job done, so you never rule that outcome!!

I think a motivated and in shape Ruiz is very intruiging because he could be a handful for anyone on his day!

Ruiz has to find that sweet spot weight wise. Lose too much and Wilder will prove his chin is better than we give credit for. gains too much weight, Wilder as awkard as he is can move a bit.

His right isnt just hard, its fast and that is his one accurate shot. He lands clean like Aj did on him, guy can have a hard time recouping, plus I take into account the rest of Wilder's shots are looping to the point of silly.

I can see Wilder landing a shot that messes with Ruiz' equilibrium, temple, ears, top of the head, Wilder;s shots dont land where they supposed to go.


But if he allows Ruiz to fight inside, be it long night or quick, Ruiz will take him out from the inside.
Easily.

With that said! Until a hand is raised, Wilder is in the find no matter how far down on the cards!
