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!
So the pre fight "slim Andy" photos were doctored.

he had the full on works with professional lighting

its the same old same old

that said, his biggest win was at about the same weight and he looked poor at 255 last fight, so who the f@ck knows what's best for this dude

You can still be slim and weigh a lot cant you?

They got the ceremonial weigh ins in an hour.

Even though he's looked old for a number of years, Ortiz now looks OLD. His face, his body, the lot. Seeing him walking down the street you wouldn't think that it would be safe to put him in a pro boxing fight. While Andy's just there looking like the kid from UP with his first facial hair.

I'm going against the majority. I'm picking Ortiz to win

fat vs old, battle of the century

I do hope it’s a good fight however long it lasts.

We need it to be.

Andy Ruiz Jr. looked in phenomenal shape at the weigh-in.

He looks much lighter than his official weight.

Today’s 268lbs Andy Ruiz Jr. looks much better, in terms of physique, than the 2019 268lbs iteration that dominated and destroyed Anthony Joshua.

I laugh when idiots make fight predictions based on weigh in weights, especially heavyweights.

I laugh when idiots pretend that others have made predictions based purely on physique or body weight, when in fact that never happened in any version of reality!

Are there any other fictitious claims you’d like to make?

Perhaps you should learn to read?

Agreed, although Ruiz coming in heavy for the Joshua rematch didn't bode well.

Focusing on weight loss in training camp is a terrible idea - that time should be spent building stamina, sparring and working on skills.

That said, if Ruiz was 100% committed to being the best heavyweight he can be, he would dedicate the time AFTER fights to fat loss.

Do we have any live stream link for this fight ?

Is this fight over?

Oh, it’s tomorrow. Unusual.

Ortiz seems to be ageing fantastically well.

He was hiding weights in his boxers, that old psychological trick

I'm going for Ruiz via 8th round TKO when Ortiz's hip pops out.

It probably won't. But we've certainly seen that before with Odlanier Solis, Vyacheslav Glazkov, Yuri Foreman, and Sergio Martinez.

I bet $40 on ortiz To win. No way Ruizs' chin will hold up.
