Where does Ruiz go from here? Should Andy Ruiz add Alex Ariza to camp?

[tito_bandito]

Ditch His trainer . Ruiz doesnt respect him enough and would be better of with someone like eddy reynoso Who is very strict

All he needs to do is Be in better shape meaning losing weight Had he been 20 pounds lighter he would easily knocked out joshua

I thought Joshua Had a terrible performance but his Jab and run from the Fat guy strategy worked because ruizs fat ass got caught up in the overnight fame


Does ruiz have the discipline to get it together after an embarrasing night ? We shall see Its the first time hes ever been soundly beat on the scorecards

Chepo Reynoso and Ruiz would be a good team, but Manny Robles isn’t at fault. The fighter has to be disciplined. Instead of buying that Rolls Royce, he should have hired a great conditioning coach and a nutritionist to help him with this camp. Ruiz can still make a statement. He made good money and should invest in having a team to monitor his weight and athleticism. He might not be able to get a rematch, but there’s still Adam Kownacki, Arreola, Luis Ortiz and Whyte. He beats any of those guys in great fashion, the talks of a Wilder or Joshua fight might be in discussion.

Ruiz barely landed up to 5 punches in the entire 12 rounds.

Absotuley. Praise Anthony. May Joshua be with you

I was thinking about that and being God's son Jesus, the reason he got knocked down four times in the first he was turning the other cheek like in the bible.

then in the second fight he went all old school biblical and became a vengeful god destroying Ruiz by decision.

Sometimes it takes a while to understand God's ways but they are always revealed.

get him on that ariza shake asap! 4x a day! double the amount for the first three weeks!

[HandsofIron]

Lose about 40-50 lbs, a couple of tune-up fights and then a rubber match with AJ.

[PRINCEKOOL]

He will be fine, just needs to listen to his trainer 'Who seems alright'

I don't really think somebody like Alex Ariza's & methods would work well with him.

I think Andy’s ideal weight would be 245-250. We’ve seen how Ariza transformed Maidana. Ruiz should get a strength and conditioning coach like Ariza that will help him drop the weight while increasing explosiveness. It’s a shame he had 6 months to prepare for the rematch that changed his life and chose to take it for granted. Where should Andy take it from here? Here are my thoughts:

1. Get a good strength and conditioning coach. Perhaps Alex Ariza?
2. Fight someone like Adam Kownacki or Chris Arreola.
3. Get the rematch or go after Wilder.

If you are a strength and conditioning coach, or a personal trainer, or a boxing trainer, you are only coaching the athlete with the athlete's consent. You can't drive an athlete, or control an athlete, unless the athlete himself wants to be driven or controlled. The problem is entirely with Andy. He has an outstanding boxing trainer in Manny Robles, he has enough money to hire an excellent personal trainer/S & C coach, a nutritionist, a chef, even a dancing clown to read him bedtime stories--but unless Andy really wants to be a great fighter, and to take his talent as far as it can go, it ain't happening. And quite honestly, nobody needs to tell a heavyweight boxer that getting morbidly obese is not a good career move. Andy chose to do this all on his own. Why he is self-destructive I do not know, but "it is what it is".

[Idunnoshet]

Fight Arreola next .
Then Wilder.
Then take a easy farewell / retirement fight in California.

[Mammoth]

Fight Gerald Washington next probably. Idk, I'm sure PBC will want Ruiz-Ortiz but idk if I like that fight for Andy tbh....

Ruiz not only lost the rematch, but he lost a lot of would be fans, now he is a high risk low reward type of fight for the Champs. People won't be tuning into a Ruiz fight after this fiasco.
