Chagaev - Valuev rematch on May 30th

I think it will be closer than last time, where Chagaev won about 9-3. The judging was inept or probably corrupt.

Chagaev has been so inactive and wasn't so convicing in his return, so I'll say this one is closer but ultimately class will win.

 

I'm getting sick of watching these 2 and ruiz fight

 

Unfortunately for you my good sir, Ruiz is guaranteed a shot at the winner

Honestly? I think Valuev takes this one. Time has not been good to Ruslan and I think those stories of him losing his eye sight severely are more true than false.

He's looked slow, he looks susceptible to straight right hands and I get the feeling that his ring awareness is dropping as well. Valuev will do enough to "win" ultimately...probably in another one of those 7-5/8-4 tragedy scorecards.

 

This has to be a joke

 

I wish:

"LAS VEGAS – The World Boxing Association Championship Committee has declared two-time WBA heavyweight champion John “The Quietman” Ruiz (43-8-1, 29 KOs), presently rated No. 3, as the mandatory challenger for the winner of this year’s Ruslan Chagaev-Nicolai Valuev WBA title fight"

 

atsch another 24 rounds of crap then

 

i'll make sure to miss this one

 

it should be evander vs chagaev

 

If Norman Stone was handling the John Ruiz corner, I'd consider watching.

Otherwise **** that ****. Ruiz/Valuev III? Come on.

 

Boring. Though I would love it if Chagaev KOed the giant.

At least this mess will be settled.

 

yep

 

I believe Manny Siaca is his trainer now. Supposedly he's been holding less since he took on Siaca as a trainer, not that I've gone out of my way to see any of his recent fights.

Anyway, I just really don't care. They're both third-rate boxers. Seriously, take a look at what Chagaev's recent opponents have gone on to do since he fought them, and consider that all of them have been close fights. If there was any justice in the world, neither of these guys would be top 10 heavyweights.

 

Against the journeyman HW, He was more aggressive. Against Valuev, He kind of went back to status quo.

He did more work on the inside than normal but it's still the same old Ruiz.

Except this time he doesn't have Norman Stone to cuss, fume and rant during rounds to entertain.

 

this pisses me off so much. ****ing ring-a-round of rematches holding that belt hostage, this has been going on since 2005. yeah thats 4 years.
