As per “my sources” (love when I see that **** on here) The Destroyer makes his return on April 20th on the Danny Garcia card. He’s fighting Alexander Dimitrenko. Andy looks in the best shape of his career too:
Thoughts?
(4:20 is going to have a lot of great boxing. Gonna be so mellow)
Don't love the matchup TBF, think it could be a boring fight with Ruiz trying to get inside of the giant Dimitrenko and Alexander tying up whenever he does
every time i have seen this fight discussed robbery is thrown around like the term is going out of fashion which is ridiculous, the scorecards were spot on, 7-5 and 6-6 if you want to be generous to Ruiz plodding forward all fight long, despite most of his aggression being ineffective.
8-4 implies a robbery does it not?
8-4 isn't a robbery, it's still close IMO. 6-6, 7-5 and 8-4 are not scores I'd ever consider a robbery unless they were 8 dominant rounds to 4 close rounds.
I do agree with you that everyone throws around the term "robbery" whenever their guy doesn't win though. I typically save that term for Lara/Williams type fights.
Also, I said "I think" I gave Ruiz 8-4. Very well could have been 7-5. I just know that I had him winning. Was back before I downloaded the scoring app where I can view all my cards. I was still scoring with paper.
You're the only one in this thread who used the word "robbery"
I said it was a hometown decision, which it was.

pretty sure you dont know how to score a fight then, ruiz did nothing in the last few rounds and that cost him the decision, the fact every close fight now is called a robbery is just embarrising tbf

Pretty sure that I had Ruiz up 8-4 in that match.
Weird that the judges scored it 7-5, 7-5 and 6-6 in New Zealand and nobody called that a hometown decision.

He won the Parker fight, should be champion.
Don't sleep on this guy.

I really really like this guy, i wish he was more active to be honest. They haven't done enough for him, Top rank should have done more for his career.
I agree. That's why he left Top Rank. I'm hoping he gets a few fights this year. For a guy his size, he's probably got the fastest hands in the divison, and from his IG page, he looks like he's in the best shape of his career...
