Jesus this fight will suck. Ruiz beats the hell out of McCline now, 5 years ago, and 5 years from now. McCline just doesn't match up well with Ruiz. Two losers in this fight. McCline and the fans. These guys should be testing some of the younger heavyweights not jocking for a future title shot.
I think it'll be a good fight. I am looking forward to seeing it. I firmly disagree with the rest of you, as I see a good matchup that will be interesting to see how it unfolds, given each fighters recent improvements.
i hope they do boxing a favor and knock eachother out .. theyre both cans and need to hang it up. mccline couldnt even finish that clubfighter peter, now olegs gotta do it(or maybe vitali). these two clowns have been hacking too long and need to get out.
Ruiz fights are so ugly. All he does is hold. He has one the worst fighters of all time to win a belt.
Boneheads...ruiz? Are U Serious? Total Can..finished. Who Cares What These Guys Do. Not Worth The Post. Lets Look To The Top Guys. These Guys Are History
His fights against Valuev and Chagaev were very entertaining. There was no excessive holding. Ruiz came in 100% fit and motivated. Good show! So I think this is a good match-up! My prediction: Ruiz by UD (average score 115-113)
Ruiz is coming off a devestating knocout of Ashley Tisdale. McCline is coming off a lackluster loss to the skilless Sam Peter. The momentum favors the Quiteman.
Otis Tisdale was KO'd in the 1st rd. by the likes of Elieser Castillo and Lance Whitaker, and that was in his younger years, so I can't take too much from that fight. Ruiz looked as slow and plodding as ever and I'm sure he will resort back to grabbing and dancing as soon as he's back in the ring against a boxer with a jab and skill (McCline). Unfortunately I see Ruiz sneaking out a prototypical 10punches landed UD unless McCline can catch him with something big as John is coming in with open arms.
