Jackson Asiku vs Heriberto Ruiz for IBO feather strap

[Hounddawg]

Live on Fox sports in November, we will see a top fighter come down to Australia and test one of best Feather fighters in Asiku.

I haven't seen Asiku a former commonwealth titleholder fight the caliber of this tough mexican.

I'm glad that Craig Christian finally will test Asiku ,should he win opportunity's should Knock.

Ruiz is an accomplished fighter who has fought plenty of world class fighters from Superfly to feather and boasts a solid record of 42-8-2. Ruiz has beaten the current IBF Feather champion in Christobal Cruz and philipino prospect Rey Bautista and recently lost a SD decision to Steve Molitor the hometown boy. His loss's have been to good fighters in Rafael Marquez, Eric Morel and Irene Pacheco.

I think this fight poses to be one of the best match ups on a Fox card this year and cant wait for this.

I agree this should be a cracker he beat Rey Bautista just under 12 months ago (which to me means hes not on a decline) and is very active

He done well here.....good fight had alraedy seen this.


I had only seen the footage on youtube, haven't seen him fight live.

He has a win against Cristobal Cruz current Feather IBF champ, not a bad notch, I think this guy is a true test and he's Mexican, that's all i need to know about this guy. Mexicans who can fight fair well with me

This is a great matchup. Jackson is an action packed fighter, Hopefully he shows up in great shape.

Not sure why this is a title fight. Ruiz has had one fight at featherweight against a guy who was 1W-22L. So how on earth does a win over a 1-22 bum make you the #17 ranked feather in the world? Mind you, Asiku doesn't even have a ranking at featherweight.

Typical of IBO who will sanction anyone and anything.

In saying that, it still looks a good action packed fight. I'l go with the bigger man Asiku.
