Ruiz and Ortiz promise knockout

This weekend, September 4, in Los Angeles Luis Ortiz (33-2, 28 KOs) will face the ex-world heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr. (34-2, 22 KOs). Today, after open training, both assured that the fight will end ahead of schedule.

“I sacrificed a lot to prepare well for this fight. Now I just have to do my job in the ring. It will be a tactical confrontation. I am more technical than Ortiz, I can both work on counterattacks and press. I will have to be careful and be in constant combat readiness: both in defense and in attack. But I will definitely win ahead of schedule, ”said Ruiz Jr.

“I am ready to knock out Ruiz. This will be a war. Anything can happen, but my goal is a knockout. This fight will not end with a verdict,” Ortiz said.

Recall that the 43-year-old Cuban in January of this year defeated Charles Martin ahead of schedule. Meanwhile, the 32-year-old Mexican Ruiz Jr. is returning after more than a year away - his last fight so far was in May last year, when he defeated Chris Arreola unanimously on points.
