阿纳海姆, 加利福尼亚州. (二月 9, 2016) – Hard-hitting Mexican warriors 七月切娅 (30-1, 27 科斯) 和 雨果·鲁伊斯(35-3, 31 科斯) engaged in a memorable back-and-forth battle for the WBC 122-pound world title last August and they are eager to meet in the ring again to deliver another explosive fight. The eagerly awaited return bout is part of a tripleheader on 开演时间 CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® 住在Showtime® (10 P.M. AND/7 P.M. PT) 从阿纳海姆本田中心出发, 加利福尼亚州.
Headlining the event is undefeated featherweight world champion 狮子座圣克鲁斯 in his first title defense against former champ 马切达马丁内兹. Rounding out the televised tripleheader is a 10-round fight betweenundefeatedheavyweights 杰拉尔德·华盛顿 和 奥斯卡·里瓦斯.
Ceja recovered from a third-round knockdown to claim world title glory with a fifth-round stoppage of Ruiz, and he has promised once again to leave the fans thrilled.
“One thing I can tell you, is that this fight will be as exciting as the first one,” 说切娅. “你不想错过它. War is coming.”
When Ceja and Ruiz clashed in Los Angeles last August, it was the U.S. debut for both and was also on a card headlined by Santa Cruz.
“I knew it was a big step up in my career to get a fight in the U.S.,” 鲁伊斯说, “It was very emotional to be fighting in front of so many Mexican fans on such an important card.”
In an excellent two-way matchup contested in the middle of the ring, Ceja and Ruiz combined to throw 373 power punches in just five rounds, with Ceja benefiting from a 96-67 优势力量拳降落. It was the sharp-shooting Ruiz who struck the first big blow of the match however, as he caught a lunging Ceja with a perfect left hook that put him down with just under a minute left in the third round.
“He definitely hurt me with that punch,” 说切娅. “I went straight into his hand and to the floor. But thanks to my great conditioning, I recovered fast. I train in the altitude in Mexico and that gives me the strength to fight 15 发. I’m working just as hard this camp.”
“I feel like I have the advantage in speed and power,” 鲁伊斯说. “I was looking for the knockout from the beginning and I will do that again on 二月 27.”
Showing little effect from the knockdown, Ceja made it through the third and had a solid fourth round against the lanky Ruiz. He began to work effectively inside the long reach of Ruiz and buzz him with left hooks and uppercuts. It was a perfectly timed left hook with 58 seconds remaining in the fifth round that put Ruiz down. Ruiz made it to his feet, but Ceja continued to batter him with both hands until the referee, Raul Caiz Sr., stepped in and stopped the fight at 2:34 进出线.
“Ceja came into the fight very aggressively and he put just the right amount of pressure on me,” 鲁伊斯说. “This defeat is behind me now, but I did gain experience from the defeat that I will take into this fight.”
Both men know that there is plenty of work to be done in training camp.
“There is no way to get into a comfort zone against Ruiz,” 说切娅. “Just because I beat him, it doesn’t make this fight easier. He’s smart, experienced and he won’t make the same mistakes again. He’s a guy who works distances perfectly and knows when to attack. We made mistakes in the first fight that we’re going to fix.”
“I’m working on my defense and on putting more pressure on him throughout this fight,” 鲁伊斯说. “I have to be aware of his left hand. The hook hurt me last time so I have been working on getting my right hand up to block it. I have to use my skills to be victorious.”
With a world title on the line once again, expect similar fireworks when these two proud Mexican sluggers share the ring in Anaheim.
“I want all my Mexican fans to come out and watch this fight, you will not regret it,” 说切娅. “I want to keep my belt for a long time and I want the fans to remember my name.”
“This is going to be another very explosive fight,” 鲁伊斯说. “Expect a lot of punches, but this time I will be walking out a world champion.”
