According to wikipedia he never got back to them and they went with Foreman . Hogan has a grill out now too, doesn't seem to be doing too well.

Wilder v Ortiz II
Ortiz leading by a mile on the cards, then Goodnight Irene

I watched this at the pub and was with mates on a pub crawl so didn't see as much as I would have liked.
What I did see was a superior boxer once again get sloppy and knocked out by a sloppy boxer that saw an opening and took it. Hardest hitter on the planet.

Barry tipping Joshua this time round

Wilder is always behind on the cards , never seen a fighter so content to sit there the way he does, then wait for the opportunity to throw his money punch, that straight right ,
The funny thing was , he threw it just the once , thats all it took

Same for me. Think AJ is gonna be way more prepared re what to expect and bring his A game. Ruiz is unique tho so still could cause AJ problems

AJ with a boxing masterclass

So the answer to my last post was 'yes, he can'
Must have been made to watch Lewis v Tua fight. Just kept his distance and picked Ruiz off.
If he had engaged then it would have been the first result again. Ruiz is a good fighter and bloody tough, but if you don't let him engage then you take away his strength.
AJ had been used to fighters showing him way too much respect (yes you Parker) but has now learned that lesson.
I doubt AJ will ever take on Wilder. Too much risk of one punch wiping out better boxing. I reckon he will go for Fury with the remote possibility of Hearn setting up a easy one against stablemate Parker for the home fans (if he can get Parker to beat Whyte first and reclaim the right to fight)

AJ evolved. Ruiz went backwards. Ruiz will rue piling on the pounds.
Superb game plan from AJ and team, almost perfectly executed.
