Comments Thread For: Wilder-Ruiz: WBC Orders As Final Eliminator; Winner Becomes Mandatory For Fury Or Chisora

I really don't see the point in a fourth Fury and Wilder fight.

I mean, it was so exciting, the third and final fight, the trilogy, but that was some beating that Fury put on Wilder.

It's not like a fourth fight that's demanded such as Pacquiao-Marquez, when Marquez knocked out Pacman as decisively as could be.

How many battled each other four or more times? Robinson and La Motta. Rafael Marquez and Israel Vasquez. Off the top of my head those are the ones I can think of.

This was fairly easy to see coming. PBC gets an in-house (PPV) fight and regardless of which of their fighters wins (and I'm sure they expect Wilder), they get another crack at the HW belt.

As for the fight itself, it's interesting matchup. Ruiz is a plodder and doesn't have great workrate. Only chance Ruiz has is to unload his barrage as Wilder falls in.

I wouldn't be surprised to see knockdowns on both sides but I expect that Ruiz will be the one who doesn't get up.

Ortiz sleeps Wilder. Wilder will crumble and fold from the pressure

That’s after the lights come back on in the arena and then Ortiz will go under the ring and Ruiz will jump back in under the ropes and get the credit as if he did it himself .

Good fight , IMHO its 50/50

[VislorTurlough]

Solid matchup of 2 top 10s

Hopefully Ruiz wins. Nobody wants Fury vs Wilder 4.

[BomaE]

Wilder don't deserve this opportunity becouse his been best 3 times by Fury. Can't believe Wilder gonna fight fury a 4th time if he defeats Chisora.

I really like this matchup… I just can’t see Ruiz avoiding the right for 12 rounds. I expect a Wilder KO. Ruiz needs to be perfect for 12 rounds, Wilder needs to be perfect for 10 seconds to win this fight… Can Ruiz avoid the big right? Can Wilder keep Ruiz on the outside?

Great fight but I disagree with your analysis. It works for Fury who hasn't often demonstrated early KO power. But Ruiz finishes Wilder if he catches him. So I think it is a case of who catches the other first. Won't got past 6 rounds.

I'll buy Fury v Wilder 4 any time , they are throwback fights and as exciting as they get. Fury will hammer Chisora again and do a similar job on Usyk when it becomes obvious there are weight divisions in boxing for good reason. Ruiz with his fast hands is always dangerous but is pretty easy to hit and Wilder will soon find the target with devastating effect. When the dust settles and Usyk is no longer unbeaten and wants a pay day for those out in the cold you may well see him give Joshua another rematch which he probably wins again.

Fury wants Joyce after Usyk according to Warren.

More importantly, he is banned from America (far less $$$) and knows there is no legacy in beating Wilder again.

I would be surprised if he does not drop the belt.
