Ruiz vs Ortiz FULL FIGHT: September 4, 2022 | PBC on FOX PPV

"Everyone was doubting me, but I worked so hard for this fight,” said Ruiz. “Ortiz is a warrior who hits hard. I did a beautiful job boxing him around. I showed more class than I usually do just coming forward.”

The first fighter of Mexican descent to become heavyweight world champion, Ruiz (35-2, 22 KOs) got his hometown crowd on its feet early, as he delivered a clean right hand to score his first knockdown in round two. Ortiz (33-3, 28 KOs) would hit the canvas a second time in the round, but got to his feet again and delivered several strong left hands to keep himself in the fight and make it through the round.

"I told you I was going to be a warrior and that's what I did,” said Ortiz. “This is Cuba vs. Mexico. This is what I live for. To everyone who said that I'm old, I gave you a war today. There are always surprises in boxing, and that's what you got if you didn't think I'd give it my all.”

Ortiz got himself back in the fight over the subsequent rounds with impressive boxing as he relied on his jab and movement to keep Ruiz from inflicting further damage. In round seven however, Ruiz struck again, backing his opponent up with a straight right before moving close and dropping Ortiz with an overhand right.

"It was a difficult fight,” said Ruiz. “I was waiting for him to load up and countering him when he did. It was a blessing we were able to be successful.”

Despite Ruiz pushing forward, Ortiz again used his excellent boxing acumen to remain in the fight. Ortiz even owned a slight 78-76 edge in punches landed according to CompuBox, but it was Ruiz’s 67 power punches to Ortiz’s 56 that made the difference. After hurting Ortiz again in round 11 and winning on all three cards, Ruiz was able to hold off a late charge from Ortiz to edge the fight on the judges cards by scores of 114-111 twice, and 113-112.

I wanted Louis Ortiz 😢Winn this one he need it

[lousifei]

It's just the nature of the game, but you had to feel for Ortiz's kids worrying about their dad.

[VeganDefinition]

I have no doubts that Luis stops Andy prime for prime with this performance. 43 years old and was tagging Ruiz all throughout the 12 rounds but man's taken too much damage his career and can't take a punch anymore.

[jayfrm]

19:20 Lennox was sleep af! Lol. "Yeah! Woah! What is it?" LMAO

[TopHeavyweightBoxing]

Two Great Warriors. Something is wrong with something somewhere that neither has fought since. Just crazy...

[gideonchoong]

Unlike AJ who would take full advantage of jolting his opponent and following quickly with his knockout punches.Ruiz after catching his opponent with a punch seems to withhold his next knock out punch to allow the refree to do the counting.

[Rick-nzhh]

Ortiz is a legend. at 44 he can bang with Ruiz in his Prime.

[jeffmc]

One of boxing's greatest moments is the second Andy Ruiz realized he stopped Anthony Joshua and became heavyweight champion. Hi arms up, jumping up and down, love handles jiggling with the biggest smile ever!

[Mr.Bry]
