Comments Thread For: Wilder's Trainer Warns That Andy Ruiz Will Be 'Knocked Out Cold'

They are clearly trying to provoke Ruiz into signing the contract.
Big call to say it. Ruiz (as far as I know) has never been hurt in a fight.
Wilder has a non-existent jab. Ruiz can close that distance without much effort?!

I was gonna say the same thing. Ruiz can take a punch. Been down sure but always back up and throwing. Puts in that volume when the leather starts flying as well he's got every chance. That said, Wilder took a hell of a lot of punishment before finally succumbing to Fury who is a gorilla. Hard to stop. Intriguing fight hope it goes ahead.

They’re both former world heavyweight champions. And Andy will attract the coveted Mexican fanbase.

Its a 50/50 purse split.

“Coveted fan base” in what way? Coveted over whom?

I don’t think it’s controversial in any way to say that boxing PPV organizers covet the dollars of the Mexican fanbase.

That’s why Tank Davis just got better numbers than he ever had before.

andy ruiz brings audience. Deontay wilder has never sold tickets, not even when he’s fought in alabama. He’s not a big draw unless he’s fighting tyson fury. I don’t understand how he wants to give andy ruiz 30% and for him to take 70% . At worst this fight should be 50-50. Deontay wilder doesn’t sell

bro this is 100% innacurate

Ruiz outpointed a guy who was outboxing Wilder in both fights.

Wilder's KOs don't suddenly mean they were dominant wins. They were anything but.

Trying to discount two KOs of a 38 & 39 year old version of Ortiz by a points win over a 43 year old version of him is futile. Wilder KO'd Luis despite not having the same skills as him. Ruiz, who is known to be able to **** and 10 years Ortiz's junior, couldn't stop the old guy.

I'm not a big fan of Wilder's style, but one fact cannot be denied: He knocked down a giant with that thunderous right hand, and only that giant has been able to beat the count and get back up.

Wilder's trainer needs to stop making senseless predictions when there's no fight scheduled yet. Go and make it happen first and work your ass off to that end.

Do you think that fight between Garcia and someone else would have done those numbers?

The matchup being compelling helps too. That is also a factor.

But I could see Ryan Garcia potentially having got those numbers against several opponents. Tank Davis not so much.
