This might just be the heavyweight fight of the year if the white wolf isn't totally shot, im serious.
As long as the rules are enforced, Lyakhovich will beat that cheating clubfighter up and knock him the f*ck out. :nod Hopefully, that disgrace to the sport will get starched inside half a minute like he did against Tua. Now that would be NICE!! :happy :happy
No, thats doubtful. Ruiz is gonna hug him til he cries, then hug him some more to make him feel a little better. Don't hate on him because he's shown himself to be the best heavyweight of the current crop. His resume speaks for itself. :bart
:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl Puh-leez. The only thing Ruiz is "best" at is violating the rules, and getting away with it. Of course, having King in his corner helped - notice how he hasn't won a fight since "The Don" dumped him?? Oh, and Ruiz is one of the best at hamming it up when hit with body shots to force bogus "low blow" calls! I love how people talk about this talentless palooka's "resume," and ignore that he cheated against most of the recognizible names he fought - and when he didn't, he LOST!! :nod
To the extent that Holyfield headbutted INTENTIONALLY - which is WAY exagerrated - he used it occasionally to supplement his world class boxing ability. That it is quite different from Ruiz CONSTANTLY and REPEATEDLY holding excessively or faking "low blows" to make up for his LACK of world class boxing ability.:yep I really don't see how some of you guys can't grasp that there is a major difference between fighters who had actual ABILITY to compete at the world class level bending the rules occasionally to supplement their abilities - and Ruiz, who broke them constantly, because he had none.
Holyfield holding and headbutting was more effective than his gloves were. Ask Rahman. Or any other person whom made the mistake of not acknowledging the awesomeness of Holyfields dome.
Sergei's trainer says all the talk is bull, all Don King's doing. He says King wants both of his own guys to fight, he'll have a warm-up fight, and then fight Valuev (sp?) Jan 19TH in Germany...
:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl Even I have to admit that's pretty damn funny! :good But seriously, guys - let's not compare true world class fighters like Holyfield who bend the rules now and then to talentless hacks like Ruiz who do it all the time because they can't compete otherwise. The only other instance I can recall of a fighter faking a "low blow" to "win" a fight, besides Ruiz, was Luis Santana against Terry Norris. And he did it for the same reason Ruiz did - he didn't have the ability to win otherwise.:yep Not only is that shameful - it's bad for the sport. :fire
Yeah baby can't wait to see Ruiz lose and have his record against Eastern European fighters fall to 1-4 with the lone victory being against a ukranian journeyman.
