Ruiz vs. Ortiz Fight Card, Predictions

Both “The Destroyer” Ruiz and “King Kong” Ortiz have only been bested by one opponent in their careers. For Ruiz, it was his loss against Anthony Joshua in 2019, which lost him the IBO, IBF, WBA, and WBO titles. For Ortiz, it was Deontay Wilder, who bested “King Kong” in 2018 and again in 2019. Since then, Ortiz has racked up two victories, bringing his pro record to an impressive 33-2-2 with an insane 28 knockouts.

However, at 43 years old, Ortiz is nearing the end of his career and faces a serious challenge in Ruiz, who is more than a decade younger. The Destroyer has a record of 34-2 with 22 knockouts, and enters the fight as the favorite with odds of -370. Still, Ruiz has made mistakes in the past, and Ortiz’s experience will almost certainly lead to an upset if that should happen tonight.

Joining Ruiz and Ortiz’s card is three other exciting fights — all included in the Ruiz v.s Ortiz PPV live stream on FITE — plus some worthwhile matchups in the prelims. Here’s a full list of the Ruiz vs Ortiz undercard and main card fights:

Isaac Cruz vs Eduardo Ramirez — lightweight (PPV)

Abner Mares vs Miguel Flores — lightweight (PPV)

Jose Valenzuela vs Edwin de los Santos — lightweight (PPV)

Joey Spencer vs Kevin Salgado — middleweight (FOX)

Ra’eese Aleem vs Mike Plania — junior featherweight (FS1)
