I really like this kid. I think in a potentially bad outing he impressed. Ruiz seems to have a solid chin. I would like to see him work out some better defense, head movement, maybe more glove blocking, etc but I am glad to know that he has some whiskers.
What do others think?
Hard to tell if he is any good til he fights someone with a pulse.
Lol this is true. Keep in mind that a lot of trainers in the know all had the following reaction: "No way!!!" then after watching him they felt otherwise.
When considering what happens to most prospects there is a decent likelyhood I will be eating "crow pie" but I can't wait to see this kid in with the next teir up. Again: you can teach defense and conditioning a hell of a lot easier than chin, speed and offense in general.
I mean look at how Stewart taught Klitschko how to protect his china chin.
Don't be a drama queen....what did you expect people to talk about???? How cut and in shape he is??? The dude fuking jiggles all over the place. And then you mentioned Arreola and his nipples so apparently that makes you one of the "girls" that you seem to call others.
You must not know what the expression "tongue in cheek" means....see how sand in the vag can give away one's ignorance? May I suggest a decent douche with a 5% vinegar solution?
Have never seen him fight, I have just google him and I swear I thought someone was making a joke with that fat Cotto friend that lost some weight on him. I need to YouTube him later but yea he needs to take the sport seriously a bit. He can only benefit from looking in shape.
Great chin because he ate a load of unnecessary shots from a guy who is anything but a puncher? I don't even get the handspeed comment either, his handspeed wasn't anywhere near that of Hamers.
Alright he has good handspeed considering he is so fat.
The reality is this guy not only has to work on a hell of a lot more than his defense but he has no business at HW. What are people on about get down to 225 and that?
He doesn't strike me as a guy with a big frame or anything. He could make Light heavy, in shape he may even be able to get down to super middle.
He'd still be a fat sh1t even at 225 :rofl:
Lets face it hes a sideshow attraction. Just a fat guy with good handspeed considering he is morbidly obese.
Wow!!! Wow wow wow!!!! Don't be a drama queen....what did you expect people to talk about???? How cut and in shape he is??? The dude fuking jiggles all over the place. And then you mentioned Arreola and his nipples so apparently that makes you one of the "girls" that you seem to call others.
Agreed, billeau. He has more power than Arreola. His hand speed is great for a 250+ lb. fighter, exactly what's needed to land on these big, slow HWs who try to smother you with their size. If he went down to about 225 we might see the first Mexican HW Champ.
He is also still developing as crazy as that sounds. I have been a martial artist almost all my life and when I was Andy's age I was 180 pounds or so. In my thirties I filled out to around 230 pounds or so. I think he can build more muscle. The fat seems to be coming off and it is not affecting his stamina right now.

Wow!!! Wow wow wow!!!!
See how fickle boxing fans are? You have to be fvckin kiddin' me! What a bunch of little girls....."hes too fat" Jesus christ!!! (I am being tongue in cheek guys)
But seriously, the kid has a great chin. Of all the skills in boxing you can learn to be better defensively the easiest. He has decent head movement actually but has to stop looking at his work and move his cabesa! Its a matter of some fixing...
Why the assumption that Tor has no power? he is a great 3 round fighter.
Aeroala the nipple boy? seriously? Ruiz potentially has a much better capability to do damage. His hand speed is off the charts.
And Ruiz will grow....he is already growing muscle mass and losing fat, the kid can fight.
I think everybody is too hard on prospects....think about it the kid has a chin (important) can take a shot and not cry to mama....He also was great offensively...he hit the other guy a lot more than compubox stated.
This kid is going places!!!! and not weight watchers either!!!:rofl:
He does seem to have a decent chin and ok power but he's too easy to hit. He may get past his current opponents but once he reaches better and harder punchers he won't get too far. I still think Arreola was the better boxer and harder hitter and he couldn't get past the elite in the division.
He didnt seem to concerned about taking punches but a fighter would really good power would take him out, u cant let someone hit you like that at HW
Ruis just a very frustrating fighter, he clearly has something but isnt dedicated, a wasted talent imo
