Based on the PhilBoxing.com, if Ruiz believes that “Boom-Boom” did not change since their 2008 bout, then the Mexican is in for a surprise, said by Bautista.
“I am not the same fighter whom he headbutted, and who was not armed with two hands in our previous fight,” said Bautista. “And even if I was bloodied after that headbutt, I still fought my heart out.”
Bautista loose on Ruiz in their bout at 2008 on a way of unanimous decision.
But this time, Bautista is determined to make sure that the fight will end differently.
He said that he plans to put pressure on Ruiz for 12 rounds.
Ruiz arrived in Cebu Monday evening, accompanied by his father and handler.
The Mexican fighter is confident that he will repeat his triumph over Bautista, saying that “Boom-Boom should be man enough to accept defeat.”
In the undercard, Filipino welterweight Jason Paraga will face his first ever Mexican opponent, Juan Carlos Gallegos, while Edrin Dapudong will face undefeated Indonesia Benja Loemoli.
