What is Andy Ruiz’s style ?

[Dempsey19]

Does anyone see some of Mike Tyson in Andy Ruiz?


(It wasn't until other people mentioned Micheal Jordan in comparison to Kawhi Leonard in these recent NBA Playoffs, that I actually saw some of Jordan in Kawhi; similar kind of bounce to his game, soft jumpers, very nuanced)

He’s more measured than Tyson and uses his jab for more than getting into closer range IMO. But again I have only seen his AJ fight. But I generally get the feeling he isn’t as destructive as Tyson was.

He's a calculated pressure fighter. He tries to be very effective with his aggression and to get into positions where he can land 4-5-6 shots in a row whilst maybe dodging 1-2 in the process. Pressure fighter/counter puncher/volume puncher. Very good fighter and also beat Parker imo.

Plodding opportunist.

Mexican style.

Duh...

beat me to it lol. I was gonna go with "Mexicalian Style" though.

To answer OP's question though, I always classified Andy as a pressure fighter with extremely fast hands, and great counter punching skills.

I never called him a bum.

I said that he was an unranked fighter who was ready to quit boxing before he made AJ look like a ***** But don't trust my "LDBC news sources" here's one of yours

You finished being an idiot yet?

I'd say mid range pressure counter puncher. Has slow feet and waits for opportunities with flurries that aren't really calculated so he throws in bunches .Effective but long power jabbers would east him up who don't fight within distance . Easy fight to win with Ruiz if one works behind a jasb first then everything else second as long as they have speed as well. worked for Parker even though he lost that fight really but he was passive.

He is a mid range boxer/puncher with very fast hands.

He's a front foot combination counter puncher.

He's a calculated pressure fighter. He tries to be very effective with his aggression and to get into positions where he can land 4-5-6 shots in a row whilst maybe dodging 1-2 in the process. Pressure fighter/counter puncher/volume puncher. Very good fighter and also beat Parker imo.

Out-boxer, Swarmer, Slugger our Boxer-puncher ?

Or something that can’t really be defined ?

Why don’t you tell us what you think his style is, then I’ll ask my 80 plus year old uncles.

Questions are so easy to ask..

My wife asks questions, I answer.... but she says “but why?”

I ask”why do you ask why, what is the foundation of your questioning”. It’s a but why why you asking why?

State your case.... you tell us your “”whys”.

I can waste peoples time by asking why, and why.

Front foot counter puncher

One thing he is definitely not and that is an infighter. He is not one to collapse the pocket and fight at short range. He doesn't smother his punches at close range.
