That's funny because what IO saw preceding the fight was some other fight, shown in fast motion, weird. I was surprised when the actual fight came on.
Yeah, Ruiz was a hot item before last night, and now he's not.
The one thing Ruiz does have is good power punches, and the one thing Lyak. was very expert at was slipping them. Otherwise, Ruiz is not strong. Lyak., much lighter, was pushing him around. I don't know what's Lyak's problem. He seemed half asleep, and this isn't the first time. He could have been a top contender. He deliberately lost to Briggs in the last round. I don't know if it was because he was half asleep - he had been ahead on all cards - or if he was intentionally taking a dive, but his corner was screaming in his face before that last round to just stay the hell away from Briggs - so instead he stood right in front of him with his jaw sticking out. His KO loss to Wilder was f'ing scary.
Before this fight Lyak. also looked half asleep. He looked sad or spaced out or something. Same after the fight. No emotion. Same after the phony decision was rendered. No emotion. Poker face.
