Unbeaten WBO #3 heavyweight Andy Ponce Ruiz (27-0, 17 KOs) scored a ten round unanimous decision over the game Franklin Lawrence (21-3-2, 16 KOs) on Saturday night before a sold out crowd of over 3,000 at the Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino in Lemoore, California. Hard punching Ruiz rocked Franklin in the second but the 40-year-old Franklin weathered the storm.. Both fighters settled into a less frantic pace after round 3 and both fighters boxed a pretty entertaining 10 rounds.. There was no disputing the victor.. Scores were 99-91, 99-91, 100-90. Ruiz retained his NABF title and is now in line for a WBO eliminator against Hughie Fury on the October 29 Fury-Klitschko undercard in Manchester, England.
