If you can't get your belts back you can always try suspenders, Andy.

Check out Andy’s brother on youtube. A very big boy and identical to Andy. I think the f-a-t gene runs in his family. No excuses tho. He’s a professional and he got to put in that work 24/7. Nobody said it was easy!Comment

He might say that he was depressed but he might be angry at himself for the mis-opportunity to come in trained and ready to fight. AJ came in with a game plan and he assisted him with being so out of shape. He might be working out and getting muscular which his weight won't go down as much but they don't post those either. They are very selective on the pictures and the angles.
He said that he ballooned up to 310 but he looked like he was 310 when he fought AJComment

he prolly 299 nowComment

He was 268lbs against Joshua at MSG and 284lb for the Clash on the Dunes.
He says he ballooned to 310lbs and must have lost 40lbs. So accepting his estimate is accurate, he's at 270lbs. Not exactly trim. Yes, that kind of weight was good enough to take out Joshua two years ago, and I'm sure he will have no problem with Arreola, but long term, he really needs to watch himself. Big fluctuations in weight do not do good things to the heart and boxing is an incredibly cardio-endurance reliant sport.Comment

Am I the only one who finds the name of the venue (Dignity Health) to be kind of ironic for this match up?Comment

He’s weighing 270 according to him (potential lie) and seems very proud of it. What a pathetic professional athlete.Comment

Its more nuanced than that. I will be the first to admit that Ruiz' conduct after beating Joshua was horrid, including his treatement of his mentor/trainer, lack of focus, etc. But he is a young guy with no tools to deal with sudden success. Lottery winners 9/10 have a similar trajectory. You have next to nothing one day and incredible material wealth the next... your friends, your family, society treats you different. You have power you never had... and there is no Uncle, no family member to mentor you.
With that said, Ruiz never had problems with cardio in his fights. He is a big boy and comes in naturally with some size. He never had a problem with this until his training habits changed, so in a fundamental sense, the weight was a by product of the problem. A boxer fighting succesfully at a high weight, is not a problem if he is confortable at that weight, and can adjust when he is between fights, and retires. Sumo wrestlers have a similar process of shedding when they retire. Andy can have a career fighting at any weight he is comfortable at, provided he takes responsibility for self discipline and does not go off the reservation between fights. Guy is IMO very talented and could be a legit threat at the right weight for any fighter not named Tyson Fury.Comment

It's amazing that this fat little punk keeps getting a lot of you to feel sorry for him. Or even cheer him on as he continues to be fat and blame it on everything but being lazy. He is a fat chump fighting a fat has been on PPV. Call it exactly what it isComment
