That **** was UGLY. John Ruiz vs Arreola would be a good fight between Mexico/Mexican American vs PR again.
It's amazing to think that 12 years later Ruiz is the guy who has the heavyweight titles on his resume' while Tua remains a "what could have been" story. You never know what the future holds. :yep
ruiz is going for the "hard" look with the wife beater and the hat. looks like cheech marin tho. put a fork in him, he's done
Valouev is better than he was. He looked the same in the 12th round as he did in the 1st. I think he can stop Ruiz if he wants.
ruiz got knocked out by one of the most powerful punchers in the division - big deal. who could have taken those punches? valuev is not a puncher by any means so there is no chance that ruiz, whose chin is not granite, but decent (above average) is going down.
Yeah I don't think getting destroyed by Tua is that awful. It's not like Eddie Chambers put him on the canvas.
