Folks, for now, I am SLIGHTLY leaning towards Ruiz to win because his technique and chin are far better. I believe Ruiz’s distance closing jabs, head movements (hopefully) and fast, hard combination punching will break down Wilder’s lousy defense and spirit. Wilder is pencilled-in to fight Joshua at. If Ruiz gets in range, he must also punch to Wilder’s body (often). Deontay Wilder has revealed talks over s fight against Anthony Joshua are progressing well - but the same cant be said for a clash against Andy Ruiz Jr. Behind sturdy jabs to get in range, Ruiz must also work on better head movements to minimize Wilder’s big shots. Ruiz must work his jabs to close the distance, and this will give Ruiz plenty of chances to work fast, powerful combinations on Wilder. Ruiz scrap, Ruiz cannot sit on the outside while getting hit with Wilder’s long jabs/long right rands or else Ruiz will lose by UD or by KO. For a few reasons, the WBC may go “out of their way” to place Ruiz in a position for another WBC title opportunity.Īnyhow, in a future Wilder vs. Before fighting Wilder for a WBC title opportunity, it seems Ruiz should fight the winner of Joyce/Parker. I remain baffled as to how Ruiz may leap into a possible fight with Wilder because Ruiz was defeated by Parker (some/many felt Ruiz won).
