Andy Ruiz Jr.'s Path To Victory: Speed, Body Hunting, And Ring Intelligence

Andy Ruiz Jr. must use hand speed, vicious body punching, and defensive smarts to overpower towering Damian Knyba this Saturday.

In latest boxing news is expected to be victorious in a not very strong era for the heavys in professional boxing at the moment.

The fight is something that not many have an expectation for, in terms of outcome.

Ruiz has speed and can punch and has plenty of ability but has been out of the ring for a bit lately.

Some things to note on technical boxing for him this Saturday;

Close the gap fast behind feints and head movement to smother Knyba’s long reach
Let hands fly in bunches up close, where Ruiz’s blistering speed gives him a clear edge
Dig hooks to the ribs and midsection early to drain the big man’s legs and lower his guard
Step off at angles after every attack to avoid walking into counters from the taller fighter
Turn defense into offense by slipping punches and firing back instantly off Knyba’s misses
Keep the high guard locked and chin down at all times, cutting out the careless defensive gaps
Use the jab downstairs, not just upstairs, to keep Knyba guessing and set up the overhand right
Stay disciplined, not reckless—pick spots to explode rather than trading wildly
Force Knyba to reset constantly with sharp feints and subtle shifts in positioning
Follow Manny Robles’s instructions to the letter, leaning on preparation over instinct

Most are looking to see the return of Ruiz, he looks lighter too, could be impressive.

Fast hands and plenty of pop in those punches are expected, he looks to have taken the fight very seriously.

A great sign, he could be a force in the heavys at the moment given the not strong division at the moment.

Let’s get ready to rumble.
