Ruizes fight to lose.
Ceja capitalized on a mistake.
Very good fight. Would like to see a rematch.
A nice battle between two hard punchers but the strong winning will of one of them prevailed. Cejas had a very good recovery after his know down in the third round. He was the full time aggressor fighting in front of a boxer who was faster than him and has the reach advantage also. However, in spite of the time still available Ruiz was not able to capitalize on his assets as to finishing the fight in round 3 and finally the punching power of Cejas gave him the victory.
Yes it will be nice to see a rematch.
