12 (or 15)Rounds WBA Heavyweight Title

Scenario #1: As the defending champion, Ruiz would be jabbing, holding and punching to take the "Smoke" out of Cooper to either take a decision or stopping him late.

Scenario #2: "Smokin" Bert Cooper would cut Ruiz off the ring, then bobbing and weaving all the way to land bombs on the body and head to upset the Quiet Man to take a decision.

What do you guys think and who do you got?

Hard to imagine anything but a Ruiz victory here. Cooper might stun Ruiz at some point. That's about as good as I can imagine for him.

Ruiz
Stoppage
Light years better

Ruiz wins on points, by a comfortable margin. But I don't Ruiz had the firepower to stop Coop', assuming the latter is in decent shape.
