Either Ruiz outboxes Oritz by jabbing and grabbing for a boring decision win or Ortiz's southpaw stance would make Ruiz feel awkward and Ortiz would outpunch him to take a decision or stopping him late.

I agree but I'd favor the jab jab grab repeat for a boring decision

You gotta give Ruiz and his hugging and mauling style to get it done. He could lose this one just as easily as he could win it, but a lot of is fights felt that way, and he usually won 'em when they felt like that.

I gotta give Ruiz the benefit of the doubt to eke out a decision.
