Man, I love how much support boxers get in the Mexican community.

Yeah man, it was wild watching him stop Dimitrenko in his last fight, with Dimitrenko being the same height as Joshua. Dude had every physical advantage possible, and Ruiz found a way to break him down by finding a way around that reach disparity. Ruiz can take some shots too, because he ate some getting on the inside in that fight. He also took some good shots against Joseph Parker who looked big next to him yet small af next to AJ. Ruiz has been REALLY wanting this fight since he saw AJ's performance against Parker, and said after that Dimitrenko fight that he'd go right back into the gym if he was offered the AJ fight, because he really wanted it... and then he gets it. Fate would have it that this is his chance. Considering Ruiz' desire for it, I'm really interested in how the fight will play out.
