He is at the weight he is supposed to be at and not at an unnatural weight he should never have been at. What beautiful kicks are you talking about? Are you a kick boxer? Why did you lose all this weight and then gain it back?
I don't know how it affects Ruiz i just know that the way we generate power on a blow has a lot to do with many very small subtle adjustments we make. I want ruiz to be in better shape but to be aware of those fine adjustments.

i am teaching my own class and we have this movement where you fade back smack the arm and shift in with a blow to the ribs. I had a big guy in the class...I was about 220 at the time, he had to be about 245 or so...and I very gently did the technique to him with newly acquired perfect form. He hits the ground and is moaning...im thinking he is being a baby, i just touched him!
Do you know I cracked three of his ribs? I had changed my mechanics to such a degree, and it was such a small amount of force, it didn't even occur to me. That is a perfect example of what I am talking about. Changing the way we move, our center, etc can have a profound effect on our technical skills.

The picture looks fake
And also I don’t believe he would come down that much
He’s always been a big boy , it suits his style
Nothing wrong if he did trim down and that would probably help him in his rematch
Fat or skinny , I’m thinking he wins

If so, he has shed a lot of weight. If its real I would maybe bring into question how quickly he has dropped weight, I don't think dropping weight at an alarming rate is necessarily a good thing. Could be an indicator of over-training. Either way he looks very healthy in both pictures, he should keep to that weight and add some more muscle.
