ruiz was ready to go it looked like

[JakeNDaBox]

yeah, he got caught with a shot I think he didn't expect.

Even with Tisdale being what he is as far as opponents go, Ruiz fought with actual purpose for the first time in a long time. I doubt we ever again see it against an opponent worth a damn, but was a nice touch for his fight not only to NOT be a stinker, but also end as quick as it did.
