Adelaida \u201cLa Cobra\u201d Ruiz is predicting all-out war when she faces Virginia “Ginny” Fuchs in a 10-round rematch, on Saturday, July 18, live on ProBoxTV (7:00 pm EST\/4:00 pm PST) from the NOS Events Center\u00a0 in San Bernardino, California.\u00a0<\/p>\n
WBC junior bantamweight champion Ruiz, 18-1-1 (8 KOs), of Los Angeles and WBC interim titlist Fuchs, 4-0 (1 KO), of Houston, will meet to determine the true WBC 115-pound world champion in a women’s special attraction. The card is headlined by WBC No. 12-ranked Bryan \u201cNino Maravilla\u201d Flores, 28-1-1 (16 KOs), facing Jonathan \u201cThunder\u201d Navarro, 18-2 (9 KOs), in the 10-round super lightweight main event.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the 10-round super welterweight co-feature, Joshua Kevin Anton, 13-0 (12 KOs), takes on Vladimir Hernandez, 17-7 (7 KOs).<\/p>\n
Ruiz and Fuchs met for the first time in August 2024, with Fuchs winning a highly entertaining split decision to wrest the WBC interim junior bantamweight title from Ruiz. Fuchs, however, suffered severe thumb injury during the fight and, because of a lengthy rehabilitation and then a series of setbacks, hasn\u2019t fought since. In November 2025, the WBC allowed Ruiz to fight for the full championship against Canada’s Alexas Kubicki with the stipulation the winner face Fuchs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ruiz defeated Kubicki by unanimous decision, putting her on a collision course for this rematch with Fuchs.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel pretty strong and confident,\u201d said Ruiz during a break in training. \u201cI\u2019ve been really challenging myself to do new things I haven’t done in the past\u2026 I\u2019m a brawler. I like to brawl \u2013 so I\u2019m working more on boxing, working inside and outside the pocket. I\u2019ve also got some new sparring partners to improve my skills.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ruiz says she\u2019ll need to show more ring generalship in this fight if she is to change the outcome from the first matchup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe’s a pretty good fighter, very technical,\u201d said Ruiz of Fuchs. \u201cShe has a lot of experience. Maybe she doesn’t have as many pro fights, but she definitely has experience. I only had 39 amateur fights. Ginny competed in national and international tournaments and the Olympics (former amateur standout Fuchs competed in the 2021 Tokyo Summer Olympics).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Born competitive, Ruiz says losing their first fight was a heavy blow.<\/p>\n
\u201cLosing was horrible\u2026 every loss I’ve taken, even in my amateur career, has been really hard on me. I’m a crybaby, so I take it very personally. I’ve always been that way. I’m in a different state of mind now from our first fight though. I’m putting more into my piggy bank; different things, quarters, nickels, dollar bills, like, it’s packed this time, versus before.\u201d<\/p>\n
In her only other career rematch, Ruiz fared better in the second fight. She fought to a draw with Sonia Osorio for the interim WBC super flyweight title in March 2021 but took a unanimous decision from Osorio in the rematch in September of the following year to become interim belt holder.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love challenges. Anything that challenges me is just, I love it. So, like I said, this camp has been very challenging for me. I’m learning, and I love it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite her desire to be more technical, Ruiz let it slip that she is planning on doing things her customary way during the fight as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it will be a war,\u201d she said. \u201cI don’t think we’re gonna have any time to even think. I think we both want the same thing. We both want to win. We’re both competitive. So, it’s just gonna be war. It’s gonna be punches flying everywhere.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the 10-round welterweight chief supporting bout, Ruben \u201cEl Pollito\u201d Aguillar (24-0-1, 21 KOs) of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico, takes on Tre’Sean \u201cTrigger\u201d Wiggins (17-5-4, 10 KOs) of Johnstown, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n
