How do you guys see Ruiz vs Usyk unfolding?

[AlexKid_The Return]

Is Ruiz being lazy and over eating still?

Would Usyk do to Ruiz what hes done to many heavyweights?

Or is Ruiz stylistically a bad match up for Usyk? Or is a "small" stature heavyweight playing right into Usyk's skill set as an experienced cruiser weight?

Your thoughts...

Ruiz is a fat bum, Usyk wins every second of every round.

[Earl-Hickey]

Ruiz feet are just too slow, Usyk isn't ****** he's not going to volunteer to trade with Ruiz, however Ruiz would punch with Usyk and he does have very quick hands as we know, and I don't see Usyk's power overly concerning Ruiz. There's just a little bit of interest there because it's a question of if Ruiz with his fast hands can catch Usyk with something, but I suspect he wouldn't with anything notable.

Chisora realky showed the blueprint on how to beat Usyk which is cutting the ring off, forcing him backwards, roughing him up, mauling, making it messy etc.

Usyk really had no answers to Chisora until chisora did what Chisora does and gassed (because he's in his late 30s and 10 years removed from his prime) at that point he was only able to fight in spurts so Usyk could take rounds.

You have to look for a heavyweight who can close distance rapidly and rough house but who has more than a couple of rounds of stamina. Fury is the obvious choice but there's others out there.


Theres still questions about Usyk at heavyweight for me, the AJ win was good, but AJ is such a shell of a fighter these days that I almost have to put an asterisk next to that win.

Even a young gun like hrgovic I feel would ask more of Usyk than AJ, because AJ went into the ring with severe confidence issues, and when the fight didn't immediately start going in his favour the little bit of confidence he built post Ruiz 1 immediately vanished and he panicked and **** the bed.

Hrgovic for example wouldn't do that.
