By Jake Donovan - Andy Ruiz nearly let another one slip away. A trio of knockdowns was the difference on the scorecards, as the Imperial, California native managed a twelve-round, unanimous decision over Miami's Luis Ortiz. Judges Zachary Young (114-111). Eddie Hernandez (114-111) and Fernando Villareal (113-112) scored in favor of Ruiz, who floored Ortiz twice in round two and again in round seven to prevail in their WBC heavyweight title semifinal eliminator Sunday evening at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

It does make it difficult for some countries outside the USA. There is a holiday on Monday in the USA so I don't think the PPV numbers will suffer much. In fact since Ruiz and other fighters have a large fan base USA so maybe they didn't think it would be a problem. It is really weird having it on a Sunday night though.

Somewhat interested in the Rayo v De Los Santos.

I think the late replacement De Los Santos is alright - but man Rayo looks waay bigger in the weigh-in.
