I think Golota will be to big and strong for the so called quiet man, I expect Ruiz to be flat on his back by round 6.

I think Ruiz should be able to take this fight no problem,

I think Ruiz should be able to take this fight no problem,
Give me some reasons why you think he can take it m8, do you think he will KO Golota or do it via the long route?

call me crazy but I am going to say by KO, I am a big John Ruiz H8er b/c I find him to be Boring and lovable towards other fighters in the ring (with all the hugging and stuff) lol, I just have this filling that RUIZ will KO Drew Golota in 10

golota will grow tired of all the hugging and will resort to low blows

Ruiz by DQ

No ****ing way is he KO'ing Golota. If dickface wins this fight he will win either on disqualification or a bull**** decision.

Man, what a night it'll be if Donald stops Holyfield, Meehan
Knocks Rahman into the audience like Maskaev did, McCline hits
Tyrd with a bomb and launches him into his ugly wifes lap and
in the Main Event Golota Knocks Ruiz colder than when Tua put
him to sleep with his eyes rolled up in his head! :D

It's boxing, anything is possible! :D

I REALLY hope Golota.

please o please golota knock this mother ****er out, I can't go through another 50 punch grabs a round, I think Golota will win but I thought Frez would win, I thought Rock would win, so I can see this jerk pulling it out via a total of 750 punch grabs-If this fight is boring someone should shoot Johnny!

John Ruiz wins by decision or DQ. Golota's got a lot of mental issues and Ruiz is NOT the guy you want to face in that case. Also, in recent fights, judges seem to be overall pleased with Ruiz, even though fans aren't. And Golota was well behaved for an entire 12 rounds against Byrd, then lost a bad judges' decision. The odds say he'll struggle in this one.

Ruiz will find a way to win.He might even frustrate
golota into quiting or even getting dq'd.Lets not
forget golota still hasn't got a big win to his name.

Golota will win. That Pole is a mad man!

john ruiz by either UD or late TKO. ruiz has a solid chance at becoming the linear and undisputed champ of the heavyweight division. after ruiz beats golota,vitali has got to give the quite man a chance at his title.

I agree. Golota is far from shot and will ko Ruiz in a very decisive way.

Vitali isn't in a hurry to defend his belt against a Don King fighter. King has the other 3 belts. That's why there will be no unification any time soon, unless King can talk Lamon, John, and Chris Byrd into fighting each other.

Ruiz Is The Man

I think it would be a Draw. If not, a Double KO! :eek:

I hate to say it but I predict a Ruiz decision win or a DQ. Ruiz is gonna find a way to frustrate Andrew and get the ugly win once again. I am praying that I'm wrong and Golota knocks him out cold.

I'm going to have to sit this one out!

you would think golota but everbody just waiting for ruiz to fold.. he is a fighter .. who knows? too hard.. golota dont hit hard as yall think..ruiz might hit harder

unfortunately, I would have to say Ruiz by dec. Ruiz is so awkward and Golata has the attention span of my seven year old. I think it would be a very bad fight without much action. Golata gets too much credit from his fight with Byrd. The only things left after the "big one" hits will be Ruiz and a couple coackroaches.

If not decision, Ruiz will win by dq in the mid to late rounds. No knockdowns either way.

I say Golota obviously!!! 7th or 8th round!!! But I have a strange feeling that Ruiz will get DQ'D!!!

If Golota gets a disqualified its over for him.

I say Golota only if Nady or Richard Steele ref the fight because they normally don't stand for Ruiz's ****ing bull**** tactics of holding. If that fat prick Randy Neumann or that washed up ******* Joe Cortez refs the fight, Ruiz will win by a bull**** decision.

You're ****ing kidding me right? Why don't you ask Bowe, Grant, Witherspoon whether or not Golota hit's hard.

Witherspoon said the hardest he was ever hit was by Golota!!! Look at the first knockdown in the Grant fight!!! I thought Grant was dead!!! That was the beginning of the end for Grant!!!

Ruiz Is The Man

Yes, Ruiz is the MAN who got his ass handed to him on a plate by "has been" RJJ. That would have never happened to Glota.

I don't know if my imagination is tricking me . . . but I'm looking at this as a very dull fight with a lot of holding and shoving . . . between the two I'll choose Golota. Just my instinct.:rolleyes:

Golota does not punch as hard as he used to.
He's a bit more cautious now, & doesn't sit down on his shots like he once did.

This is a tough fight to call, with the only potentially exciting thing being Ruiz getting starched or thoroughly beaten.

I expect this fight to be hideous at times, & it will test Golota's notoriously low patience level.

I'd make the horrible, but somehow effective, Ruiz a slight favorite.

yip no-one likes Ruiz but he is effective if not pretty to watch, Golota needs to box him more and get his "hands off", if he gets involved in a wrestling match he could "go" like he has in the past.

[QUOTE=jabsRstiff]Golota does not punch as hard as he used to.

You forget that Golota got down to 236 pounds for the Byrd fight!!! That is the lightest I can ever remember him fighting at!!! I recently read in an interview that he is gonna come into this fight heavier for obvious reason!!! They said he was at 242 or 3 right now!!!

grant lol witherspoon are chinless... golota folds when he fight hitters harder then him.. lewis tyson bowe.. the guy is big but bryd said he dont hit that hard and he only benches 340 , so he cant hit that hard.. but vitali was scared to fight him after the bryd fight and said he wasnt ready

We need Golota to win. We need a new champion who will at least fight instead of trying to hug his opponent all the time.

(I would support any fighter against John Ruiz, i am still shocked he managed to stop Fres Quendo)

Here is hoping that Golota is able to overcome his personal demons and rid us of one of boxing's great annoyances. All of Golota's crimes against the sport will be pardoned.

Golota DOES have the strength and skill to do it.

Golota would be forgiven if he beats John Ruiz legally. Hopefully each time John Ruiz trys to tie him up he lets his hands go and punches in flurries to score points. I can see this going the distance as both fighters are not exceptional punchers. If Golota fights like he did against Byrd then hopefully he does enough to win down the line.

Ruiz needs his refs in there to win. His refs allow him to hold on and jerk-off his opponent all night long and then squeeze out a late decision or he literally put's his opponent to sleep and then hit's him with a right and knocks him down as was the case with Fres Oquendo. Why do you think that loudmouth dickwad stoney was so insense after the Roy Jones fight, because the ref did not allow Dickboy Ruiz to jerk-off Roy in the fight.

Realheavy....

Tim Witherspoon had an excellent chin. Anyone who remembers him from his better days will attest to that.

I agree. He was fat and unmotivated..but had a good chin.

It's a shame because he could fight his ass off.

I like Golota, I just hope he has got his good head on for the fight.

Shame he never trained his ass off

you guys might be right ive only seen him fight once but... grant has no chin i know that for a fact.. am just saying he is bigger then his punch..u wanna se him fight vitali i dont know why vitali would be scared of golota..

He is scared of getting his nuts punched and not being able to have children again.

Don King is ditching Ruiz a little prematurly here:

Yeah but Grant wasn't chinless until this fight!!! He had never lost and was dominating everyone!!! Witherspoon chinless??? Please!!! Did You see him fight Mercer??? I heard it was 360... What does how much you bench have to do with how hard you can punch??? Nothing!!! I bet you that neither klitschko can bench 360!!! Or most heavyweights out there!!! benching that kind of weight will only slow you down as a fighter!!! If anyone on this site is a boxer, they can attest to this!!!

Does anyone no the date and location for the fight?

tyson did sets with 455

kelvin davis 400
teddy ried 300
mosley 365
zu 260

marcinalli 270

Where did you find how much each boxer could bench press? That is very interesting, especially Buchi getting 565, that is amazing.

As for Ruiz, I believe that Ruiz is actually a demon, and that he gets his power from hatred. So the more you hate Ruiz the stronger he becomes. I recorded all the fights from the Don King event that had him and Rahman. I kept all the other fights on tape but recorded Sanford and Son episodes over Ruiz Rahman.

i hear it here and there on tv and interviews online .. there all the ones i know for sure... but i agree ruiz is just a fighter.. he is big and he can flat out fight... i might not look good but he can hit pretty hard... and knows how to not get hit unless you got roy jones speed .. i got sandford n son series 5 on dvd.. foreman is in a episode

Golota won this fight no doubt.

Doubt Golota would of been able to KO old technitian Ruiz. I pick Ruiz by SD

lol this fight took place in 2004 (when the thread was made) It was a joke bump.

and for the record he did drop Ruiz, twice i think.

ha, ill go search it on utube now. never saw it. i thought if nowdays golota will fight with ruiz, golota wont have a puncher chance

Nice to see some old threads. :)

Golota fought Byrd and won but it was scored a draw then fought Ruiz and won but was scored for Ruiz. He should have been the WBA and IBF champ in 2004 as crazy as it seems.

With the knockdowns, Golota should've won the fight. But man was it a stinker. One or two punches then clinch, one or two punches then clinch. The most entertaining thing that happened in this fight was Norman Stone getting thrown out of the corner then telling Don King that the fight was fixed in Golota's favor.

lol ya i was just going to say how could it be a stinker with old Stoney pulling his usual ****. then they'd show shots of him backstage in between rounds on the verge of a heart attack, good times.

i think golota won against ruiz IMO
