Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz Honored in Mexico; Wants To Bring Rematch There

[4truth]

Andy Ruiz was born in California so it was his own turf...

A Mexican born in California probably does not consider New York home turf. New York would be fairly neutral territory for these two.

A man born in California fighting in New York still has the home advantage. A man born in Watford fighting in New York is clearly the away fighter and will never see it as neutral territory.

A neutral venue for both of these fighters isn't USA, Mexico, UK, Nigeria and each could be seen as an advantage to either fighter.

Says who? If dazn offers the most that is where it would be.

No way in Hell would Haymon let Deontay fight on DAZN when he could get a big part of the PPV since Wilder is the A side right now

I would love to see the fight in Mexico. What a huge occasion that would be. I don't really see why people think The AJ side is in control, I mean Ruiz is the Heavy weight champ lol. Ruiz should honour the rematch. If AJ wants to win back the titles it should be on the champs terms.

You really think Ruiz hits harder than Wladmir?

Nope, I neither think that nor said it.

The rematch will definitely happen in the UK. There is nothing Ruiz will do about that but he will definitely get paid handsomely.
AJ should do everything within his power to avoid drake. That drake curse is for real. He thought he could break the curse but its much bigger than what the eye can see.

He won the fight! He earned the right to call shots.

Yes without doubt he won.
Remember, who gave him the chance? Joshua could have chosen anyone who’s looking for glory but the lucky man was Ruiz, yes he will be a sought after fight for most heavyweights but unfortunately, he HAS A CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION TO FIGHT ANTHONY JOSHUA.
Eddie Hearn will have had this in a writing for your man to sign prior so being gifted the titles do3snt come that easy. rematch to take place here in England.
We’re just waiting for him to say it is all.

Are we pretending that Ruiz was first choice or even second choice. "Gave him a chance" is really stretching the definition of the term. They NEEDED someone on very short notice, Ruiz helped them out...then helped himself.

[Yaconcha]

He is champ now, he beat Joshua easily...he should say where the rematch is, Joshua shouldn't have a say, he is not champ anymore. Ruiz beats him again, likely easier this time around.

yeah whatever, there’s this little thing called a rematch clause and your man has to take it or lose the belts, simple!
Being gifted a shot and walking off into the sunset ain’t happening. Joshua will batter this fellah inside of 5 in a brutal stoppage in THE rematch HERE in the uk which, is where Eddie Hearn will have made part of the rematch clause.
Deal with it.
