It was great, but it falsely gave him the idea that he was at that level. He's looked pretty bad at world level since the first AJ fight. The second AJ fight he didn't even bother to show up.
Nothing compares to the cinderella story of Isidro Garcia. He was supposedly just a spectator in a championship fight between then WBO champion Jose "Carita" Lopez against the challenger Alejandro Montiel until he suddenly withdrew from the fight leaving the champion without an oppponent. Isidro Garcia who was eating hotdogs in the audience agreed to step-up and fight for the championship using borrowed equipment. He ended up winning the WBO belt.
Yes thank you for this comment I was going to say something about the fight that was a beautiful fight Chino Garcia wsa good fighter and don't know why RUclips don't have this fight
I know his manager started the whole hotdog thing but it’s not true. It’s actually impossible to be true given the time he pulled out. Unless the suggestion is on 4 hours he took it THEN went to his seat to watch his own undercard and had a hot dog then went and got prepared haha. It’s amazing enough as is we don’t need a hotdog story to sweeten it haha he likely got inthe story from a slightly similar one nearly a decade prior. This was Tomashek’s ridiculous title bout with Tommy The Duke in the early 90s. I’ve researched that fight for ages and it’s clear doughboy was the back up fighter - super talented journeymen and the slick option when you needed to spar of the big boys on the club scene who wasn’t actually expecting to be put in especially as they got within one hour that’s impossibly rare so like any good country boy he slammed some brewskies and got ready to watch his favorite prize fighter with the boys. Needless to say He was pissed drunk and literally was seen on camera with hotdogs (multiple) literally minutes before the fight when Morrison called him up for his Foreman tuneup he couldn’t avoid haha truly one for the ages. Though unlike chino, tommy could have literally killed his late notice replacement if he wanted. Chino however could flat out crack. Not in any way taking away from him I’m saying he was genuinely very talented and on weight. Tomashek on the other hand… I mean … probably the nicest heavyweight in history atleast that’s for sure I’ll leave it at that 😂
Yup, and the narrator has the nerve to call him a “flabby Mexican contender.” He could have said he’s a big underdog but unfortunately, he had to insult him.
What's sad is that Andy Ruiz came in so heavy in the rematch that he wasn't too effective..An in shape Andy Ruiz is a real problem for ANYONE. Fury would still probably win bc his size and everything but it wouldn't be easy... actually if Fury keeps his style that he used against Wilder it would actually give Ruiz a big advantage.
Ruiz is a representation of everyone's most unachievable dream becoming a reality via determination, will, and of course luck. Absolutely nothing but the most respect to the champ!
@@miloradowicz This a shot at dudes weight? If being fat was an attribute of high level boxing we'd still have 45 year obese white guys from the 1920 and earlier eras as heavy weight champs. Butterbean would have held the damn strap and defended a 100 times!
I think they're going to be talking about what Rodriguez did against Cuadras for a long time. I think that kid is about to be special and we'll look back at that fight as where it really started.
@@thejaded Yeah it turned out great for him, didn't it? 3x world champion and once unified between two different weight classes and he's just like 24-25!
@@vanhattfield8292 That was a good upset but Mike wasn't the same Mike. He got to a point where it looked as if he completely abandoned the Peek-a-boo once King ruined him. Had it been in his early career, yeah it would be the greatest in my mind too.
I remember this fight. I saw it as Ortiz corner trying to convince Ortiz to continue while trying to box out the referee from checking Ortiz. I feel bad for Ortiz but damn. A broken jaw is tough
Haha for real. I can't remember which fight it was, but I think after one of his fights he literally said "I don't deserve to be getting beat up like this"....like, huh? You're a boxer, then don't.
The quality of the channel's content, editing, audio, effects and the topics they choose are all tip top 👍and don't get me started on the voice-over guy! I love boxing and I love this channel 🆒 🚩
Ruiz's personality shows there is a HUGE difference between respect and fear. Sometimes men, and people in general confuse the two. Just like there's a difference between maturity and cowardice. This is especially applicable as a warrior is older, and content in his manhood and chooses to live another day to protect and provide for his legacy...it's better to be a warrior in the garden, than be a gardener in a war.
Your comment towards the fighters almost brought tears to me eyes. Spoken with praise, humble and the respect of a scholar. Thank you for those words that I wish younger fighters now days could read this and know what being a champion really means. Regardless if you win or lose. 💯💯👍❤
This is a GREAT video 👏👏👏 that body punch by Robinson was ridiculous. I could leave a hundred comments on this video but I'm just going to sit back and enjoy rewatching it instead 💯✌🏻✌🏿✌🏽
He is fat man ...but it could be his glands ...or he really likes stuffing his face .I didn't think fat Mexicans existed but that's because I'm ignorant and grew up in a very strange family ...my father told me that shoelaces never took off in Sweden and I believed for a long time
The Ruiz story is made to be a dream come true movie....let's not forget that their rematch went the distance and Ruiz finished strong but lost the decision....one fight after Joshua, Ruiz' net worth soared to 100 million....
One of the most impressive for me although he didn't win is Qawi stepping in on two weeks notice to fight George Foreman, he wasn't even in heavyweight so had to put on 32lbs in two weeks train to fight Foreman and he does amazingly well for two weeks. You can see his gas tank go and that's what loses him the fight.
Andy Ruiz Jr is the most humble respectful boxer and human being ever to lace up gloves I'm British and I loved the way he defeated Joshua with all due respect out of the 2 Brit Heavyweights of importance i have followed Fury throughout he's illustrious career but I Gotta say BIG PROPS to Andy Ruiz Jr i became an instant fan and he's my #2 favourite Heavyweight fighter on the scene at the moment, Bless up Ruiz 🙏🥊🥊🏅!!!!
You needed to include Jeff Harding vs Dennis Andres. No-one knew who Harding was, and he got a title fight just for being in the right city at the right time. Won a last round stoppage after being dominated early in what became fight of the year 1989
Great vid and nice to hear a north American using British colloquialisms for different regions, "Brummy" for someone from Birmingham and "Geordie" for someone from Newcastle -upon-Tyne. Made me smile.
17:35 Jesus Christ how many pieces was his jaw in after this? If i had to guess it’s in shambles. I’ve seen a lot of broken jaws but that is one of the worst I’ve ever seen with such a clear source and view of the punch.
Bernard Hopkins' first televised fight was as an unknown late replacement and he dominated. I don't remember the guy he was brought in to fight. I just remember Al Bernstein being really impressed by how polished and disciplined Hopkins was.
That Canelo v Ortiz fight would have been a banger while it lasted!!! Ortiz was always a little TOO willing to stand in the phone booth and trade but it made for some exciting fights to watch
He was never the same after the Ali fight Ali went into a coma in the ring and was clinically dead , he passed away 6months later never regained consciousness
Outstanding compilation. I liked the most the last 2 fights: Robinson being on the dole unemployed winning the title then defending it 7 times and Ruiz knocking out that snowflake pretty boy Joshua and making history for Mexico! Loved it!
Felix “Tito” Trinidad was a short notice replacement to fight Maurice Blocker for the championship in Puerto Rico, USA. Won by ko in the third ,I believe .
Ruiz is now my favourite boxer. Not because of his boxing. But because of him. Seems like the kind of guy you sit in a bar or eatery and have some munchies and some ales.
That footwork by Jesse Rodriguez was spectacular. I'm not a huge boxing fan, so maybe I'm wrong, but I don't remember seeing anything quite like that before.
25:15 Hmm let me ponder: 110 degrees farenheit outdoor boxing match. In one corner an Irishman. In the other corner a plumbers assistant who spends 10 hour shifts working in August in 110 degree farenheit Texas. And people wonder how in the world the Irishman lost?
2:44 Look, I know what the official weights read for that but WOW oh wow Mongia looks at least 25lbs heavier than Ali.. i mean its ridiculous when you watch them in these clips. It really looks like a Lightheavyweight vs a Welterweight in size comparison WTF?
Pacquiao himself was a last minute stand-in for another boxer in a championship bout with Ledwaba when Pacquiao was still virtually unknown in the United States.
Hey wade. Great video. Not sure if I am correct or not but I counted Joe's punches during the fight. He threw 15 half assed jabs. Maybe one or two were sort of kind of half decent. But none of the jabs did any damage. Then I counted 3 or four punches. I guess you would call it a right hook? I don't know. Only one of those was semi hard. He just showed no power at all. It looked to me like he just didn't want to get hurt. Playing it very safe and conservative. On the other hand ksi threw some hard punches. Very aggressive. He definitely was dominating. The one thing I saw that I haven't heard anyone say anything about except the one commentator during the fight was that KSI kept his hands down basically the whole time. Over confidence and show boating imo. One thing I've been told since day one was keep your hands up always. Defend yourself because you never know when they are going to throw something in there and catch you with a punch and catch you off guard. But if your hands are up at least you have a chance that punch isn't going to connect or at least not as hard because your hands are up. I cringe when I see fighters in there with their hands down. Look what happened to Cody garbrandt.......not once but twice. Showboating with his hands down and got caught and ko'd twice. Just because he was show boating. And I think he was better than both of those fighters but they caught on and got the timing right and just laid him out. Yes, KSI is super quick but a good smart professional fighter is going to put him to sleep if he's doing that to them. If tommy is smart enough he is just licking his lips waiting to get into that ring and wait for his chance to do it. I don't think that hands down is going to fly with a good boxer. Now looked horrible imo. He looked timid and he didn't throw any meaningful punches besides maybe one or so. And didn't do any damage. This is just my opinion but I would like to hear someone who knows more than I do to comment on it. Thanks.
It’s always soo satisfying seeing someone who’s talking shit about his opponent saying he is going to be easy work, then proceed to get REKT by said “easy” opponent lmao.
Great great video two short notice fights 1. José Carita Lopez vs Vargas it is said Vargas was eating a hotdog in the stands when he was called in to fill in last minute and won the 112lb WBO championship 2. Martin Coggi vs some Colombian who came in on short notice to fight a very good champion in his backyard though the Colombian lost he was blindly robbed in one of the most shameless act of home cooking in boxing history
What are the odds, Pacquiao's last minute opponent wasn't only on the same card (co-main) but he lost his opponent under the same circumstances of an eye injury.
“Tyson Fury stubbed his toe walking out to fight Oleksandr Usyk” “What’s this? Alexander Volkanovski is stepping into the ring with boxing gloves!” Volk becomes the first to fight without notice. He’s just staying busy
lol.. funny how them European fighters seem to not do well with fighter across the pond. had fun watching this video, thank u for the time i know it took to make it.
@@sethc2241 Who has Fury beat besides Wlad? Pulev and Povetkin were undefeated for years, Parker was a young undefeated champ who's since proved himself a top 5 HW, Whyte was world level at the time and there's all the other ranked guys he beat. Ruiz isn't a bum, clearly top 10 at the time and possibly still. Usyk is the best heavyweight in a very long time and at least AJ wasn't bounced around the ring.
There was a fight around the same year as the Ruiz fight here between a short blabby Mexican and a tall and really buff black guy. The Mexican won. He was so much shorter that he could mostly do uppercuts. But he won. Was amazing. If anyone might be able to give me the fighter’s names I’d really appreciate it. My friend was going to save it for me and accidentally deleted it. Thanks !
Funny in their first example they highlight the guy coming in heavy as a big factor for winning, but in the 2nd example the guy coming in is moving up two weight classes to win.
After that short notice win, Andy Ruiz, the human burrito, came to all the wrong conclusions about why and how he won, and hired a local taco truck owner to be his chef during training for the Anthony Joshua rematch. "Yeah, in hindsight, that was probably a bad idea. People kept telling me how great it was that I was so chubby and how much I'd done for fat people by winning the first fight, and Joshua's muscles didn't help him, so it sort of made sense in my head. I figured if I just increased my calorie intake by eating even more street food, I'd be in even better shape and take him out earlier than in the first fight. That's when I asked Juan to help me prepare for the fight and he was happy to do it. It was probably the most delicious camp I've ever had; I was feeling good, other than the million trips to the bathroom, but I'm Mexican so I'm used to that. Anyway, let's do a third fight and this time I'll eat a salad or two. Maybe." Tacos had a short notice win over Andy Ruiz.
Don't underestimate a seemingly chubby guy. I used to work with a big chubby Latino and he was strong as a bull and quick! Now add to that determination and a good chin. Ruiz is like a grizzly bear 🐻. He actually uses his weight to his advantage as he generates so much power with that winging hook. It's impossible not to love the guy.....great sportsmanship.
The way Ruiz acted post and pre fight was awesome. I became an instant fan. It was so uplifting to see such a nice guy win!
He’s still Andy after losing the belt too except he’s working his tail off even harder now
He was a jerk to AJ about it, just pretending to be humble immediately afterwards. Deserved to lose the rematch.
@@holliswilliams8426 seriously?!? Aww what a shame!
@@holliswilliams8426 how was he a jerk to AJ?
It was great, but it falsely gave him the idea that he was at that level. He's looked pretty bad at world level since the first AJ fight. The second AJ fight he didn't even bother to show up.

People like Ruiz are the ones you gotta look out for. Always calm and calculated.
Only Victor Ortiz could break his jaw and get angry with the ref for not assuming he was quiting and then act all tough in the corner.

Martin Coggi vs some Colombian who came in on short notice to fight a very good champion in his backyard though the Colombian lost he was blindly robbed in one of the most shameless act of home cooking in boxing history
1. it's Isidro Chino Garcia 25-8-2
What are the odds, Pacquiao's last minute opponent wasn't only on the same card (co-main) but he lost his opponent under the same circumstances of an eye injury.
“Tyson Fury stubbed his toe walking out to fight Oleksandr Usyk”
“What’s this? Alexander Volkanovski is stepping into the ring with boxing gloves!”
Volk becomes the first to fight without notice. He’s just staying busy
lol.. funny how them European fighters seem to not do well with fighter across the pond. had fun watching this video, thank u for the time i know it took to make it.
American boxing just isn’t the same as European style but then again a lot of foreigners get robbed when fighting in the States too.
joshua, even after all the physical gifts, lost to usyk and ruiz. RIP legacy. Fury on Top
Yeah Fury got such a nice legacy nowadays…
So much for that, eh?
@@PalladinPoker fury still has a better legacy than joshua lmao. joshua just got slept cold
@@swedishclix7248 yea he does lol lineal heavyweight until usyk. much better off than aj losing to bums
@@sethc2241 Who has Fury beat besides Wlad? Pulev and Povetkin were undefeated for years, Parker was a young undefeated champ who's since proved himself a top 5 HW, Whyte was world level at the time and there's all the other ranked guys he beat.
Ruiz isn't a bum, clearly top 10 at the time and possibly still. Usyk is the best heavyweight in a very long time and at least AJ wasn't bounced around the ring.
Many times a short notice fill-in has an advantage because the scheduled fighter has no opportunity to train for that particular fighter.
You can say the same thing for the fill-in fighter
McGuigan has a Mike Tyson-esque very meek way of talking you would never expect a boxer to talk like
He said the munguia weighed one pound more than Ali but it was Ali who weighed more
These videos are amazing
Young Manny was such a great character, he never changed
Thanks for the video, SMB BOXING
There was a fight around the same year as the Ruiz fight here between a short blabby Mexican and a tall and really buff black guy. The Mexican won. He was so much shorter that he could mostly do uppercuts. But he won. Was amazing. If anyone might be able to give me the fighter’s names I’d really appreciate it. My friend was going to save it for me and accidentally deleted it. Thanks !
Ruiz was awesome. Disappointed he didn't take the 2nd fight more seriously but he's punching his way back.
Ruiz has really special handspeed for his size. Always dangerous.
Awesome performance by Rodriguez!
Eggington must be one of the dumbest surnames ever.
Lopez vs Ortiz was a banger!
Mcguigan was beaten by the heat, plain and simple. He is from Northern Ireland with an average temperature of 10 degrees. 🤣
Love the way Lopez fights.
Both Ortiz and Lopez have the
‘Heart of a Lion’…
Lopez fought as if “you got to kill me, to beat me.”
Just a great fight….
Funny in their first example they highlight the guy coming in heavy as a big factor for winning, but in the 2nd example the guy coming in is moving up two weight classes to win.
I´d love to see Rubén Olivares' "El Púas" video on his astounding carreer. He was the greatest boxer right before Julio Cesar Chávez stood out !!!
McGuigan with the chomo stache😂
This made me rewatch Lopez vs Ortiz. Riverside Rocky always went to war
Rodriguez's foot work was amazing
After that short notice win, Andy Ruiz, the human burrito, came to all the wrong conclusions about why and how he won, and hired a local taco truck owner to be his chef during training for the Anthony Joshua rematch.
"Yeah, in hindsight, that was probably a bad idea. People kept telling me how great it was that I was so chubby and how much I'd done for fat people by winning the first fight, and Joshua's muscles didn't help him, so it sort of made sense in my head. I figured if I just increased my calorie intake by eating even more street food, I'd be in even better shape and take him out earlier than in the first fight. That's when I asked Juan to help me prepare for the fight and he was happy to do it. It was probably the most delicious camp I've ever had; I was feeling good, other than the million trips to the bathroom, but I'm Mexican so I'm used to that. Anyway, let's do a third fight and this time I'll eat a salad or two. Maybe."
Tacos had a short notice win over Andy Ruiz.
I miss HBO Boxing.
Lmaooo “when flabby mexican contender Andy Ruiz”
Don't underestimate a seemingly chubby guy. I used to work with a big chubby Latino and he was strong as a bull and quick! Now add to that determination and a good chin. Ruiz is like a grizzly bear 🐻. He actually uses his weight to his advantage as he generates so much power with that winging hook. It's impossible not to love the guy.....great sportsmanship.
