Hide would either take a decision after outboxing Ruiz with good combinations from long range without Ruiz hugging him too much throughout the fight or vice versa for Ruiz who jab and hug to take a decision himself.

Hide in the right headspace for me........too quick, elusive and he hit plenty hard. It could be easy.

But Hide was complicated, headstrong and a notoriously poor listener, so equally Ruiz could smother his way to a decision and Brit fans would be left frustrated as heck.

Hide was explosive and hard-hitting, he crushed cans brutally. It's easy to see him catching the clumsy Ruiz early. If Ruiz survived, he could clinch to a win, but most likely he would fail to avoid a KO.
