12 (or 15) Rounds Heavyweight Bout

Vitali would batter Ruiz behind his powerful left jabs, right hands and combinations to either take a decision or stopping him late. What do you guys think and who do you got?

Ruiz maybe survives a few rounds making it sloppy and ugly, but I feel like with Vitali's height he'd be able to catch Ruiz coming in with right hands when he goes for them lunging overhand rights, and clinches.

Ruiz could make it through a few rounds with his mauling style, but it isn't gonna get him far against Vitali who has the size and strength over him plus a significant edge in power as well.

Vitali by KO around the 5th.

I think I had more love and respect for John Ruiz, than most.

But I can't envision him being competitive here or let alone winning.

He will likely hang in there. But IMO Vitali stops him late.
