[@sercanserj7804]

They have tweeted him. I believe they are actually sponsoring him for the rematch

Me too!

[@nahor88]

Being real, you don't have to look jacked to be a great boxer (or athlete really). The dude might look pudgy, but in reality, he's just as jacked as any other boxer. It's all aesthetic. Even in "Creed", MBJ got all ripped to play Adonis, but his opponent Ricky Conlan looked just as tubby as Andy, and won.

Shout out from your hometown in the Imperial Valley Andy, keep it up 👍🏾

Very hard to find a humble athlete these days, most are arrogant and self-centered. Mr. Ruiz is a class act very down to earth he was obviously raised right and above all was taught to give God all the Glory and he does! Great role model to many young people! Go forward my friend!
