Wilder commented on Ruiz's win against Ortiz

“It was a great fight, just like I expected. Ortiz just failed that evening. I think he should have let his hands loose more often. He was very careful. But Andy gave a great fight, he fought right."

Wilder also added that he is interested in a duel with Ruiz, and that both sides are open to a duel.

Recall that Ruiz defeated Ortiz by unanimous decision, knocking him down three times.
