Ruiz was knocked won hard in the third round of the first fight. Often, when a late replacement like Ruiz is put down on the canvas, he chooses to stay there instead of taking more punishment. He’s a huge underdog, after all, so why go through all the trouble?

But Ruiz stormed back in the very same round. He didn’t just come to New York to collect a paycheck. He came there to win, and he did it.

Couple that with Ruiz’s switch to Haymon’s PBC group, his willingness to accept the Joshua fight at such short notice and his hard-punching style that always seems to be ready to explode on his opponents make him an incredibly tough out for anyone.

Ruiz isn’t just a one-punch knockout fighter. He’s crafty. He’s fast. He’s reselitent. Ruiz is a legit world champion and for good reason.
