American-Mexican ex-heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz (35-2, 22 KOs) boasts victories over the division’s top punchers – British Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) and Cuban Luis Ortiz (33-3, 28 KOs). Moreover, he solidly dumped both: Joshua – in the summer of 2019, and Ortiz – last weekend.
Oh, if only… Ruiz was worse, but defeated Ortiz – Rreport about this fight
After the fight, the winner was asked to compare the punching power of both punchers. Ruiz even a little
confused: “Dude, I think they both hit really hard. Joshua caught me the moment I didn’t see the punch. I think that’s why I ended up on canvas. But with Ortiz, I was extremely focused, I saw all his blows. Yes, there was a blow with which he solidly shocked me – it was a left straight. But who hits harder?.. Dude, they all hit as fucking hard.”
Ruiz was also traditionally asked about his weight: “It was not without reason that he went into battle with a weight of 120 kg. It helps to take hits. I think that if I weighed about 115 kg, then he would certainly drop me. As I said before, I fought carefully, realizing how good his shot was. It wasn’t very spectacular, but it was smart boxing.”
Immediately after the victory, Andy Ruiz named the next goal.
