WILL ANDY RUIZ STOP "KING KONG" ORTIZ?

By Carlos Costa

Lets talk about it. But don’t forget to watch the PBS WEIGH-IN VIDEO!

The smiling, popular Mexican-American “Gordito” Andy Ruiz (34-2, 22 KO’s) battles Big, Experienced, Dangerous, Strong, Skilled Cuban Luis “King Kong” Ortiz (33-2, 28 KO’s) Sunday (Monday around 9 AM here in Asia).

There will be 12 rounds of Exciting Heavyweight Action that no boxing fan can afford to lose.

Yes, the fight is not for a world title. But the two warriors are so talented, so thrilling, so powerful that we;ll be on the edge of our seats. Andy Ruiz or “King Kong” Ortiz…??

Who will STOP who? Because if you think this fight will go the distance, think twice. The two very best Latino Heavyweights downloading heavy artillery on each other.. we do not want to miss that!!!

Because “El Gordito” might be chubby, but he is strong, skilled, and fast.

Even faster than King Kong (our opinion). BUT “King Kong'” is an amazing complete warrior with heart and ring-smarts… not to mention experience (my humble opinion)

About 10 years ago I saw Andy Ruiz in action as he was in a supporting bout for the main event featuring our King of Boxing Manny Pacquiao against the now retired Brandon Ruiz, which was a rather boring fight because Rios did not wanted to engage the strong Pacman.

In that show Andy fought a strong opponent in a fast-paced clash that ended up in a round 3 stoppage in favor of the hard-swinging Gordito Mexicano. It was

Importantly, at 33-years-of-age, Andy Ruiz is 10 years younger than the super heavy-handed King Kong. For you, age could be a huge factor???

Better than Ruiz v Ortiz would surely be Fury vs Usyk… but that one is still on the works, (or Wilder vs Parker…), which hopefully we might eventually get sometime, somewhere in some future.

We’ll see about that… . BUT TOMORROW is ANDY RUIZ VS KING KONG ORTIZ, and, as the classy Jimmy Lennon Jr., says… “It’s showtime!!!”

Weights were: 268¾ pounds and 245½, Andy the heavier. Surprised about that?

Mi hermano, none of this men want to lose. Not only for fighters pride because of the sayang of money that they could not make as the winner might go on to much bigger $$$$ fights, and who will the winner be? Lets watch Monday morning.

Lets seat back, relax and enjoy the fight!
