Ruiz looking like a large bearded man.

Toney: "im gonna eat the heavyweight division"
HBO: commentator: "well i think eating all day is the problem with James i think"

i guess this is the official thread LIGHTS OUT BABY

...In the ring now Snig and ready for announcements. Lets get ready to Rumble!!!!

RUIZ REFUSED TO SHAVE HIS BEARD after being advised to by the state athletic commision.....guess he doesnt want to shave it again and get ko'd like when he faught tua.....well not faught but got beat down

...911 tribute beforehand!!!! good work

toney fears noone

...I can never tell with Toney, he has such a poker face.

is he looking as overweight as danny williams did aginst vklit

obviously to scale lol

RUIZ looks old to me

toney just got a big belly..its the biggest i;ve seen him

....He actually doesn't look that fat to me!!!!

ruiz geting booed by his own people

...Ruiz looks like he is gonna run out at him

ruiz loookin brave unlike before. Looks like hes actually going to want to fight him and rush him at the beginning

Ruiz shall win.

Look for toney to catch johnny coming in with a counter right uppercut

Ruiz seemed to be fighting a lil bit more than he ussually does...

only a matter of time before Toney catches him.

Toneys done good not getting hit much

round 1 goes to mr toney..ruiz clniching right off the bat

First warning against ruiz

I smell point deductions in this fight

yea ref aint to lenient

lederman has it 1-1 after second round

is it me or does ruiz seem to rabbit punch in all his fights

from what I read in the "official" commentary it looks like toney is suffering the body shots. is it the case? (I m not watching the fight)

lol ruiz took it to toney

who is the ref??

ruiz won the third cause toney didnt do ****

2-1 ruiz.................

I wish I could answer both qus but i dont know. Body punches dont seem to bother him that much. The ref is a redhead with a mustache

Kimmy, aren't you watching it?

Look at Ruiz's superior boxing skills. Toney is finished.

Steve Smoger......The one who did Hopkins vs. Tito.

I keep on reading about body shots by ruiz and if toney is outta shape, this is not good for him

Toney couldn't hurt Ruiz if he had a louisville slugger.

Toney making Ruiz look silly out there.

No, can`t get that stream site to work...

Is it me or is Lampley watching another fight. He keeps on calling Ruiz punches landing when they're not.

Toney's wondering if a career change is in order. Maybe ballet?

Toney couldn't hurt Ruiz if he had a louisville slugger.


he did hurt ruiz tahts why he clinched

Ruiz yet to win a round IMO.

Ruiz is trying to win on activity...did i just say that?

I was really surprised that Toney had a longer reach than Ruiz...

Toney's fat ass is going to get tired clowning like that. Look at all of Ruiz's natural born talent.

But Ruiz clinches all the time.

No, can`t get that stream site to work...


Sorry man, maybe ask Anorak about it, it's been a while since I went through the sign up process and I think he's watching it.

...body language, corner talk, etc. etc. leaves me thinking that Ruiz is in trouble in this fight.

he did hurt ruiz tahts why he clinched

Then he must always be hurt because he clinches like a fat kid and a fudge pop.

...body language, corner talk, etc. etc. leaves me thinking that Ruiz is in trouble in this fight.

No way not the greatest boxer of our generation. Ruiz is a future hall of famer.

Only a matter of time before Ruiz gets caught.

Fight's all tied

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Knock Down 1

Only a matter of time before he gets caught.

Only a matter of time before Ruiz gets caught.

ehm... toney is no tua

(said that, I hope one way or the other he takes the belt away from ruiz)

well he was wobbled then he clinched..ruiz jus took round 6.. i got ruiz winning 2 rounds

Look at Toney getting tired. Fat catching up with him now. Ruiz needs to start strategically hugging more.

Who Fell??

Look at Toney getting tired. Fat catching up with him now. Ruiz needs to start strategically hugging more.


so whats your real forum name? you obviously are just trying to be a dumbass in here

7 rounds to 1 with the 10-8 round in favor of Toney.

toneyu knocked ruiz down...ruiz claimed that toney stepped on his foot

Ah man, now that ruiz felt it, were in it for more clinches

Ruiz is the greatest thing to happen to boxing since Ali. Quit hating on the big burrito.

ehm... toney is no tua

ok I partly eat what I said

ruiz is developing welts around his body from the body shots when they clinch.......hes gonna think twice before he clinches with toney

Another knockdown but the first really was a foot

if toney wins about 2 more rounds he should be guarenteed a victory if he does not go down

ruiz is developing welts around his body from the body shots when they clinch.......hes gonna think twice before he clinches with toney

He needs to just hug him tighter and squeeze the air out of Toney until he can't breathe.

Toney's giving him the business huh?

Damn, first fight I miss in about a year or so and Ruiz is actually losing!

http://www.hbo.com/boxing/fights/popup_mainevent/img/round1.jpg

lol swinging after the bell

Toney having a blast out there, deservedly so. He is destroying John Ruiz mercilessly.

He needs to just hug him tighter and squeeze the air out of Toney until he can't breathe.

I think the ref is biased against the superior boxing skills of the quiet man. This fight may be rigged.

http://www.hbo.com/boxing/fights/popup_mainevent/img/round2.jpg http://www.hbo.com/boxing/fights/popup_mainevent/img/round3.jpg

Was the knockdown ruled a slip or knockdown?

ruiz looks more tired than toney...the body shots i tell ya why didnt anyone hit ruiz in the body when he clinched

toney stepped on his foot

ruiz looks more tired than toney...the body shots i tell ya why didnt anyone hit ruiz in the body when he clinched

No one's been as short as Toney.

....Ruiz needs the last three rounds to make it close. With King in the mix who the hell knows. If I were Toney I would pressure and go for the knockout.

ruiz may not be a great fighter but now we can say toney is a legit heavyweight

....Ruiz needs the last three rounds to make it close. With King in the mix who the hell knows. If I were Toney I would pressure and go for the knockout.

not seeing the fight, but I agree with the logic

how does ruiz looks?

yeah with don king anything is possible..but toney probably go after king if he is robbed

ruiz may not be a great fighter but now we can say toney is a legit heavyweight

Definately heavy.

.....So, whats everyones take on why Roy is sucking Toney's dick so hard? Just making himself look better???

not seeing the fight, but I agree with the logic

how does ruiz looks?

ruiz is tired he has a bruise on hisnose welts on his stomach

omg I just saw Toneys ass crack. 80

honestly this is the best I've seen Ruiz..hes actually somewhat willing to fight and make it a fight.....but tactically he is losing the fight

.....good tenth!!!!!

Toney playing opossum. Stone being the usual jackoff and telling Ruiz the wrong info in the corner. Ruiz might be in trouble.

...I would like to hit Stoney right over the head with my sons aluminum baseball bat. TING

so is Toney going to get robbed?

roy jones tells it like it is...he ain't suckin up to ruiz.....if anything he would say how great ruiz is

Any notice the plummer crack Toney's sporting tonightt?LMAO!

i dont know I hope toney gets another knockdwon just so theres no BS going on

Toneys won, Ruiz is dead tired

Ruiz has only won 1 round the entire fight.

ruiz cant win on ledermans card unless he gets a knockdown

...Toney has won this fight clearly but something tells me after this 12th round it's gonna be an ugly decision.

some rounds have been very close but RUIZ didnt clearly win any of the rounds other than a 2 rounds

Will ruiz be robbed tonight?

Will ruiz be robbed tonight?

Anorak? that you?

final round......ruiz needs a ko

I got Ruiz winning on all 11 rounds so far. Think he's going to be robbed!

dont move anywhere after the fight..we could see a merchant vs toney fight

OMFG Roy just said Toney would beat Kiltchko!?? WTF is he smoking?

ruiz is very tired..toney looks amazingly fresh for his standards

OMFG Roy just said Toney would beat Kiltchko!?? WTF is he smoking?


I would like to see that fight....it would be a ferak show lol......only way toney beats vitali is if he can get inside..vitali cannot punch in the inside but not sure if toney can get inside

OMFG Roy just said Toney would beat Kiltchko!?? WTF is he smoking?

No way in hell. Damn near gives up a foot to the ukrainian.

anorak?!??!?! is that you!!!!!!!!!

116-111 and 2 for 115-112

can don king bring ruiz back frmo this and make him into a champagain?

YES, YES, YES
Toney won.

Toney making me laugh for the first time in history with his comments about Fox and H.B.O.

I just **** on myself, I'm so happy.

brb...I got to get cleaned up.

I shed a tear at the courage displayed by Ruiz's performance in spite of the world aligning against him. His footwork was something only imagined since the height of Ali! The way he danced across the ring and bobbed and weaved between Toney's punches as a thing of glory!

I think that might be the end of ruiz

can don king bring ruiz back frmo this and make him into a champagain?
HOPE HE CANT.

toney is going into the history books!!!!!!!!!!! byrd is next

what does don king even see in ruiz to make him champ?

.....A good analysis earlier about Toney being relaxed and not tiring because of it. He never panics and always looks in control even when he looks hurt.

he needs to replace ruiz with golota

can don king bring ruiz back frmo this and make him into a champagain?

Ruiz was a champion upon conception! He shall return and unify the division!

...Roy is such a Klit hater. Little man syndrome!!!

wow.......I have a feeling toney is gonna be like 250 for his next fight......well I guess 230 is a good weight for toney

toney is going into the history books!!!!!!!!!!! byrd is next
Nope Byrd goes to Wlad.
Vitaly vs James is what we need.

Ruiz deserves a rematch! How about best out of three?? Pre-pay your PPV tickets now!

i would rather have toney fight someone BIG first so he can prepare for vitali

Nope Byrd goes to Wlad.
Vitaly vs James is what we need.

Vitali would murder Toney. It'd be Lewis-Tyson all over again.

i would rather have toney fight someone BIG first so he can prepare for vitali

Ruiz is big.

You all will miss the exciting fights Ruiz always brought with him to the ring. Just wait.

I'm still in shock, Ruiz fought like a man ... and lost, bonus!

Toney looked good, hopefully it's either Byrd or Klitschko next.

....Here is your money Zab. I am happy to give it to you. 1000000.00 points donated to Zab Super Judah successfully!

anorak?!??!?! is that you!!!!!!!!!No, it wasn't! :)

Listen - I haven't got time to go through all 17 pages - it's nearly 5am over here in Limeyland, so I'll just say this: will everyone's heart always be in their throat when they see James Toney fight?

My worst nightmare was the image of seeing him get knocked out in the remaining seconds. Seeing a little guy get beaten on by a bigger guy is a frightening thing... Toney's got a fantastic chin, but any man is capable of getting KOed, particularly in this division.

So was Toney just playing around for the first half of the fight or was Ruiz really outboxing him at times? By round six I think I had Ruiz actually ahead. What really worried me was that Toney appeared slightly anxious at first (though maybe I just couldn't read his expression on streaming) and Ruiz seemed confident.

Toney seems to have such overconfidence in his own chin he almost willingly takes shots just for kicks. But that strange wobbly dance on (ISTR) the end of the tenth round - was that a put on or was he really exhausted?

Full credit to Ruiz for trying to entertain and actually match Toney - his punching power is underrated, though in the second half he was exhausted and went back to his usual style. Did they interview him? Streaming altered to WWE before a Ruiz interview.

Okay, here's the top five bits for me, in reverse order:


5. James's "wobbly dance" - not the (involuntary?) one referenced above, but the one he did to Ruiz after Ruiz hit him after the bell.

4. James getting hit full in the face and then wiping his nose as if he had an itch on it.

3. The knockdowns.... okay, neither were real knock downs, but for a second they were exciting, weren't they?

2. (paraphrased) "Don King's gonna put him back in the trash can, the same place that he found him."



And the best part of the fight was...














1. The press conference. Let's face it, this was pretty good, but Toney wasn't as aggressive as expected, and any Ruiz fight is dull by default, even one like this. While it was highly watchable, I doubt I'd want to sit through it again, and nothing could live up to that conference.

"I am the best. I'm the best heavyweight out there."

Wow, 17 pages, I post and the thread dies! :)

Anyway, how long will it take this fight to be up as a quality upload, torrent or otherwise? I didn't even see the bit with Toney's ass.

So was there a Ruiz interview then?
