Andy Ruiz Jr. VS Luis Ortiz Full Fight Highlights

Andy Ruiz Jr. floored Luis Ortiz three times en route to a unanimous-decision victory Sunday at Arena in Los Angeles. The scores: 114-111, 113-112 and 114-111. With the win, Ruiz is in line for a shot at the WBC title held by Tyson Fury, who is in talks to fight Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight championship. Deontay Wilder, who was ringside Sunday and returns next month, is another possibility for a Ruiz matchup next year. “If Deontay wins in October, me and him are with the same management and we can make this fight happen,“ said Ruiz, ESPN’s No. 5 heavyweight. “Let’s get it on. I’m hungry and I want to be champion again and bring that belt back to Mexico.“ Ruiz (32-2, 22 KOs) scored two knockdowns in Round 2 and showed off his damaging power throughout the 12-round contest. The first knockdown was the product of a blistering right hand that connected on Ortiz’s temple, an equilibrium shot that seemed to impact Ortiz’s balance for the remainder of the fight. The second knockdown appeared to be a dubious call, with seemingly no clean punch landed.
