Another user said, “I know one thing when you do get back in the ring… it better not go pass 5 rounds… got me watching every dam day.” This fan shows their support by expressing their expectations from Ruiz’s next fight.

It’s a fact that Ruiz has fast hands and knows how to set up punches. So, a knockdown or even a KO before the fifth round is not totally out of the picture. However, he needs to get into the ring for that to happen. Only time will tell what happens when he does get into the ring.

Someone else said, “This guy been training for a fight for 3 years and always makes excuse for not fighting.” According to this user, Andy has been training for a third match against Joshua, which is yet to happen. It has been around three years since Ruiz tasted defeat at the hands of AJ.
