Part 6/11:
Ruiz’s boxing style is characterized by fluid combinations, efficient movement, and a variety of angles—traits he developed through years of amateur bouts and professional fights. He recalls starting boxing at age six, with influences from Mexican legends like Chavez and Barrera. He trained under notable trainers, such as Freddie Roach early in his career, but eventually found his true fit with Manny Robles. Ruiz maintains an old-school approach: disciplined training, proper nutrition, consistent sparring, and spiritual grounding. He emphasizes the importance of humility and surrounding himself with trusted friends and family, which he believes keeps his ego in check.
