Ruiz clearly won the fight, no question there, but I gave Arreola 4 rounds. 3 at minimum. Those judges that only gave him the one round were ridiculous.
I think Arreola won 4 rounds at most, but I can see why he feels slighted by the scoring. He did stick to his game plan, but Ruiz adjusted and took over mid-fight.
Arreola gave a great showing, but a rematch is not needed, don't do it just cuz the cards were a bit wide. Ruiz needs to move on and Arreola can go into other fun fights
Love the Charr vs Lovejoy poster... Lovejoy proudly displaying his GBO title... Haha! What is that? The Ghana Boxing Organization?
Ruiz will never become champion again...basicallly he was pushed to the wire by a 40 year old veteran with a numb shoulder and was hurt multiple times......Ruiz at a lighter weight is not the same fighter....his speed is the same but without the weight behind it and his feet still move like he is mud
Andy squeaked out the win but looked ineffective at times and was dropped & hurt early by an over the hill veteran with a bum shoulder. Trimmed down or not, he still looked like a fat snickers eating pudge, and ate too many from a slow jab, this performance doesn't send ripples thru the heavyweight pond, fast hands or not.
Next step? Rematch with Parker, the underachievers of the division.
