For the 40-year-old Arreola, Ruiz is almost a ridiculous betting hotspot. He himself has not participated in the game again since 2019. He was previously beaten by Vitali Klitschko (2009) and Bermane Stiverne (2014) in the world championship battle. And Deontay Wilder (2016).

If Ruiz returns with the acumen and superiority shown by his newly discovered framework, he should have come along with Areola, who has only come into history in recent years. However, considering the styles of the two, Ruiz, who is expected to be allied with Alz Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions, may have a showdown with Wilder in the future, especially considering the current champion Tai Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua seem to be united.

prophecy

Arreola has always performed well, but his fighting spirit cannot be as accurate as Ruiz in his career at this stage, and he can’t deal with him quickly.

Although an all-out war is undoubtedly people’s expectation, there are enough reasons to believe that it will be a unilateral matter. Considering Aleola’s efforts, this war may not last long. Although Arreola’s undefeated Adam Kownacki showed firm determination in the last knockout round, pushing them to the limit in the 12th round of the final round, but Kownacki’s performance was much slower than Ruiz, and in the next round. The game was lost due to a frustrating knockout.

This is a glorious moment for Ruiz, and PBC gives him every opportunity to have greater hope of fighting.
