That's what we thought with Martin, and he was having his way with Father Time, until he wasn't.
We could see a repeat of that, if Andy takes his foot off the gas too early. Just depends if Ruiz trained properly this time.
I feel ruiz is way better then martin with better hands and good speed , he looks ready ...

Ruiz (34-2, 22 KOs) weighed in at 268 ¾ pounds, nearly a full pound more than in his title winning effort over Anthony Joshua over 3 years ago.

Ortiz (33-2, 28 KOs) weighed a career-high but well-proportioned 245.4 pounds.

Ha! I woke at what I thought would be fight time and tried everywhere to find a result. Wasted about 20 minutes before realising the fight is this evening. Who fights on a Sunday evening?

Ortiz should win a decision for me. I think Ruiz will taste a clean left hand and be put into his box early. It will be an uneventful fight with Ortiz taking the decision. If Ruiz does get the KO, he will be behind on the cards.

I can't believe anyone is picking 43 year old Ortiz. He was going down heavily against gusts of wind versus Charles Martin. The punch resistance is gone and Ruiz could KO him in one round.

He told Mannix that he's been advised to fight at a comfortable weight and not weaken himself losing weight.
He's certainly followed orders!
