Good fight I think. A matchup between two heavyweights that are all about exciting fights who both desperately need wins if they want to fight for a title shot down the road after Fury v Usyk. Pitbull Cruz gets a nice fight as well in Eduardo Ramirez, who shouldn’t be a huge problem if Cruz is as good as people like to say he is. My official prediction:
Ruiz TKO Ortiz Round 8
Cruz TKO Ramirez Round 5
Ortiz is 43 I think. He is at the end of his career and I don’t think he is anywhere near good enough to beat the top fighters in the division.
I struggle to find this fight interesting.
Yeah it was only decent. Pitbull Cruz looked good though. Thought that Ramirez would be tougher for him. Would like to see him get a title eliminator in his next bout. Aleem looked good too.
Ruiz gets KOed by Wilder, or even by Helenius for that matter. And yes, Ortiz is shot. Maybe fight in Florida or Cuba where he knows he can sell out an arena against a prospect as a step-up fight. Jared Anderson? Would be a good fight to have on the kids resume
