According to ESPN... Oh my... Valuev please stop Ruiz quickly... i can just see Ruiz trying to clinch Valuev, he can only catch his forearm.
uhm...you know this is a rematch and in that it was a very very close fight. with a bit of a arguement for ruiz winning. ruiz has as good a chance as chagaev before his title shot of winning
the rematch should have been immediately after the first fight,Ruiz was robbed the first time but he hasnt done nothing for a title shot
He has connections. That's how he's been able to get all these undeserved title shots and get away with his illegal holding and faking "low blows" all these years.
ruiz knocked out tisdale and beat jameel mccline by UD so hes done more than most heavy's gettin title shots like holyfield, and lyakovich who lost the wbo and immediately got an eliminator with valuev. and considerin he is the 2 time wba champ with a close loss agaisnt valuev id say there aint too much to argue about it. not that i like ruiz or his style, just makin a point.
Ruiz has made an entire career getting title shots he didn't deserve, AND getting curiously lenient treatment from the refs for his illegal tactics. If the rules were properly enforced against him, the only people he COULD beat are the Tisdales of the world. :yep That's what signing with a powerful promoter will do for you! :nod
The WBA loves Ruiz for some reason all he did was disgrace their belt while he had it. Ruiz if not allowed to use his holding, grabbing, and clinching style will get KOed by Valuev this time.
Well i'm glad they're at least doing something. I like Chagaev, but since he won the championship, we've barely seen any WBA championship fights. Plus i'm pretty confident Valuev wins, especially if it's in Germany.
Valuev would win if they were fighting in Antarctica, Timbuktu, and Shanghai, too. He's the better fighter.
