Ruiz vs. Flores comprises Thompson Boxing’s eight-round “Path to Glory” main event that originates from the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, Calif. this Friday night.
Ruiz, from Los Angeles by way of Mexico, predicted an early round stoppage in his pre-fight media interviews.
“I can see Flores coming out aggressive,” said the 22-year-old Ruiz. “I’ll use that against him and try to knock him out in the third or fourth round. He’s never faced anyone like me before. I’m like a monster in the ring.”
