    Two masters of prophylaxis. Unlimited rounds.

    (Intravenous caffeine drips for the audience optional.)

    Who wins?

    I've seen some truly disgusting things on the Internet, Cross, but this one tops some of the Japanese videos with eels in them.

    I'm pretty sure this violates the Geneva conventions.

    If there is a way to ban boxing forever this must be it.

    That gives me an idea. They can box barefoot in ankle deep water with electric eels swimming around their feet in Tokyo, while the Eel Soup Girls alternate as rounds card holders.

    Your post provoked a Google search that made me wish I'd stumbled upon Ruiz-Young IV instead.

    :roflWill you ever use a funnel again?:think [Or eat seafood?]

    It wasn't a Google search which originally brought me to what you found as a result of my post. No, it was the good old Lounge here in which a poster originally supplied a link to a reaction video for Cupchicks back in 2007, which opened up a whole new world for me [and now for you as well].

    You don't need to view 2 Girls 1 Cup though. This lovely acoustic guitar ballad will tell you all about it without having to see anything disturbing:

    By the way, don't forget, sing a song, and the whole world sings with you!

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8OIQ9zE6_E


    Me, I worked in a hospital for several years, so for kicks, I'll enjoy a bowl of double chocolate brownie fudge ice cream while showing my sister in law with a highly suggestible gag reflex, "'2 Girls 1 Cup." [All I have to do to bring her to the verge of hurling is simply say, "Chocolate covered fish sticks!"]

    Now, if it's 2 Girls 1 Finger I'm having her view, I'll either top that ice cream with Swiss chocolate, and eat it for dessert after consuming a delicious bowl of split pea soup, or offer her half of a Baby Ruth bar at the climactic moment. [Warning: Do NOT seek and watch this video if you like split pea soup, yodeling, accordion music, or the squeaking of a bottlenosed dolphin!]

    Don't watch Octopus Girl if you like tentacle sushi, or Ernie Terrell. [Her "kid" might be his.]

    Oh, that reminds me. Ernie Terrell versus John Ruiz or Jimmy Young to a finish. Whoya got?

    The fans walk out and the ref halts the action and declares the match a draw in round 18.

    The only thing getting finished here is humanity.

    Ruiz was never "championship calibre." He's basically a glorified clubfighter, plucked from the scrap-heap by Don King after Tua destroyed him in 19 seconds. King then greased the way for Ruiz to get ranked and get title shot after title shot.

    King's influence also allowed Ruiz to cheat repeatedly by holding excessively in fights against decent opposition - because he couldn't win any other way against good fighters.

    As a "championship calibre" fighter Ruiz was a fraud in every sense of the world.

    To call Ruiz a fraud it would presuppose that there is a consensus he was an elite worthy Championship calibre fighter or he's being touted as such. I don't think even Norman Stone would think that.

    As for the fight itself? I give it to young on the basis that he was better conditioned as a fighter and therefore would outlast John Ruiz.

    Ruiz lands nothing substantial, and Jimmy cops a wide UD.

    How do you UD a fight with that can only end by stoppage?
