Despite fighting just 2 weeks ago?

Good lad, that's the spirit Andy!

Promoter Eddie Hearn says Ruiz will "do anything" to become world champion.

The bloke's never even gotten in shape. This is embarrassing.

[jamamb]

i wonder who has the worst farts in the division, ruiz or miller

[Ilya Muromets]

Ortiz would have been the most legitimate opponent, but at least Ruiz doesn't sound as boring as some of the other names that were bandied about.

Why do so many Spanish names end in Z?

Sick lad to think of that!

[oogiebe]

Blame Miller.

Don't rule out pulev. He looks like a fart.

This one here sounds like he's about ten or twelve .

I think I've traveled in time back to the third grade.

Number one priority is safe opponent: check.

[jamamb]

I think I've traveled in time back to the third grade.

so just a few years ago for you then

[Syntax Error]

At that late stage, I don't think there was anyone better who would have taken the fight.

Yes, Ortiz has been mentioned a lot, but I don't believe that he nor his team ever seriously wanted this fight under such circumstances.

Ortiz is thought of as one of the best guys not holding a trinket or mythical title; he just isn't the kind of guy who is late replacement fodder.

Andy Ruiz is best what you can get in 1 month notice. I think he will do good until he get caught

Nah, they just held you back again. Better luck next time asjtac!

For such short notice he is a very acceptable opponent. Yes he will lose. But he will give it his all and not roll over.

Didn't Ortiz have 7 weeks to prepare for Wilder though, from announcement to fight date?

And it was something like 6 weeks before fight date that Miller tested positive

He had more than that. Fight announcement isn't when they find out. Wilder was nose to nose with him at least 10 weeks prior.

Rolling over takes considerable effort in his case.

Not really round rolls

Ah fair enough, makes sense
