. Ruiz still held, grabbed and fought like an octopus at times, but it really wasn't all that bad. The real culprit in this sometimes ugly fight was McCline, who hung all over Ruiz and looked exhausted after only a few rounds. Ruiz, meanwhile, came to work. He was firing combinations -- yes, it's true -- at McCline late in the fight. His pairing with trainer Manny Siaca Sr. over the past few fights seems to have made some difference in his fighting style. <---heres the truth about the mcline-ruiz fight from dan r afael
I don't think there scared of him as a fighter but more afraid of how he can make any fighter look. Ruiz has the style to make anyone look bad, so even if you beat Ruiz more then likely the fight will look awful.
