Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz: I Dazed Joseph Parker in Sparring, Rocked Him Good!

[Corelone]

Ruiz is to fast and to slick for this slow plodding HW. #easywork

I don't know what Parker's ace is. His jab hangs after he throws it, he carries his hands low. He starts slow and gets slower. A home built record?

he is quick, he's a bigger specimen than Ruiz, and if you saw his last fight he started nice and quickly. I think he has decent punch selection and throws nice shots to the body which should be a problem for a fatty like Ruiz.

Also JP had a training camp with Klitschko around the time AJ did. VK praised both of their potential highly as future stars.

I don't think JP has sparred Fury.. He was invited to in lead up to TF vs VK but declined as was training for his own upcoming bouts.

Yeah, he has, fury has spoken highly of him ever since.

I thought he got the offer when Fury leading up to Klit fight but had to decline. I know he has been in with the likes of Stiverne and Wlad and probably many more Barry usually keeps quiet about sparring. Either way parker was what 4-0 and Ruiz 19-0 when he and Ruiz first sparred. Parker a completely different animal now grown into his man skin bigger and meaner more technical just streaks ahead of Andy in every single way. Heard people saying Ruiz is better than Takam but doubt it. Parker will be ferocious when they get it on KO early

Andy is going the distance with guys that Parker would tear apart. JP will batter this guy badly the WBO belt on a silver platter

You are 100% spot-on, Parker has never sparred with Fury.

Parker sparred Ruiz 3 times when he first got to Vegas. Kevin Barry has said a couple of months a go that Ruiz beat Parker up the 1st time. They sparred again 2 weeks later and Barry said that they won half the rounds each and then one more time after that where he said Parker won every round. Barry has said they have run into Ruiz multiple times since and every time Ruiz has said that they would call Parker/Barry again to arrange some more sparring, yet Andy's team never put in the call.

It's sad that this could be a title fight. It makes Wilder's fights look like the Rumble in the Jungle.

I think this is easy work for Joe and that Takam fight was the best thing that could ever have happened to him to have that war early in his career. Different animal now i expect him to maul Ruiz easily

Joshua and Wilder have both had some terrible title fights so why not add Parker to the list?? I do believe all 3 will fight though and that will be exciting especially if they go into the fights making them unification fights. It might look poor now from all 3 but give it 12 months and I think it will make for some genuinely big matches at HW.

Andy body shape doesn't look like someone who takes their profession too serious. He looks like he been stuffing his face with all types of Mexican cuisines. Let's see how his engine holds up over 12.

Body shape in boxing mostly means nothing. Andy is fast and heavy-handed. And his chin is good unlike Parker's. So if you want to bet on JP you'd better not take into account Ruiz' fatness.
