Wilder’s Trainer Warns That Andy Ruiz Will Be ‘Knocked Out Cold’

Malik Scott, coach for former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, expects an amazing knockout victory if his boxer steps within the ring with former unified champ Andy Ruiz.

The 2 sides are presently in talks for a possible fall showdown.

In the mean time, Ruiz just isn’t pleased with the cash being offered for the competition.

Based on Ruiz’s father and supervisor, Andy Ruiz Sr, they have been provided a 30% take of the break up – and they’re pushing for a fair 50-50 break up, which is unlikely to occur.

“Wilder desires to supply Andy round 30%,” Ruiz Sr. informed Izquierdazo. “We would like 50-50, as a result of Wilder is now not a champion, he’s coming off a really unhealthy combat, the place he fought towards a sparring associate [Robert Helenius]. I feel that sparring associate took a dive. And Andy is coming off a very good combat that lasted 12 rounds [with Luis Ortiz].”

Scott just isn’t concerned within the financial talks, however he expects his boxer to shut the present with an amazing knockout victory.

“I don’t even wish to say what spherical that I feel as a result of it comes throughout as very brash, however I’ll say one thing will occur to Andy Ruiz that has by no means occurred earlier than. He might be knocked out chilly,” Scott informed ES Information.

“He has been hit by lighter punchers [like Chris Arreola] that don’t hit as arduous as Deontay, and he has been down, has been damage, has been wobbled. Does that make him a nasty fighter? Completely not. I’m simply speaking about him going up towards the toughest puncher within the historical past of the game. My prediction is that one thing will occur to Andy Ruiz that has by no means been finished to him earlier than – and that’s he’ll get knocked out chilly.”

Wilder was in motion again in October of final 12 months, when he knocked out Robert Helenius in a single spherical on the Barclays Middle in Brooklyn, New York.
