Too much stock is being placed on how Ortiz looked vs Martin. Nobody cares how Ruiz looked vs Arreola. Ortiz was down twice, yes, but let's not ignore Ruiz was put down by Arreola too.
Ortiz was the one with the TKO win.
I am favoring Ortiz in this one. Ruiz is being vastly overrated for this fight. The "power" he showed vs AJ was a combination of AJ being gassed out/punched out, and a little bit of power from Ruiz. but that same "power" was no where to be seen in the rematch or vs Arreola, or vs Parker.
Charles Martin is also a vastly more powerful HW than Ruiz, with 25 KO's in 28 wins, taller, longer, and faster than Ruiz.
