Andy Ruiz won 100 of his 105 amateur fights so Oscar Rivas beating him and stopping Ruiz going to the Olympics is impressive

Himself Pulev and Ruiz come from a class of elite HW amateurs who successfully transitioned to pro. He's up there trust me.

High risk low reward for whyte

high risk low reward ranking wise but from a pay perspective he will be paid a fortune to fight a fringe contender on home soil.

Good fight. I'm not sure who wins. Rivas looks powerful and has skills but there were times he wasn't consistent against Jennings and let him back into the fight.

You would hope so

The whole card looks fun to be fair ... should be a good night of boxing

Rivas is ranked in the top 10 in a few bodies. He took Jennings’ #2 ranking in one of the bodies. I think this is an eliminator but I would have to check. Good fight for sure...
