It only took 3 rounds for Toney to catch up from a controversial knockdown in the first (which was a slip), Ruiz's holding in the second, and a close 3 round. After that Toney proceeded to school Ruiz with punches from all angles from the inside and outside. Toney won an easy unanimous decision...
which is what happened in part of my dream last night..."Toney dominates Ruiz" was the internet headline...
In the first round Toney punches Ruiz and his head flies into outer space. Ruiz's head collides with the moon and the moon explodes and pieces of the moon spell out Toney wins.
Round one - Ruiz hugs Toney
Round two - Toney punches Ruiz
Round three - Ruiz hugs Toney, The burden of carrying Ruiz around the ring starts to ware Toney down.
Round four - Toney punches Ruiz in the mouth and blood spurts in the audience hitting Mike Tyson in the forehead. Tyson, in a fit of rage, hops into the ring and bites Ruiz and Toneys ears off and kicks them in the groin while screaming "I'm going to stomp on your kids brain and eat their testicals so you can feel my pain!"
That's how my dream went. What do you think?
The the thing about this fight is that Toney is by trade a counterpuncher, defensive fighter. BAd style to have against a guy that only throws 9 punches a round. Toney is going to be forced into the position of being the agressor and he is not at his best or most comfortable in that role.
On the bright side Ruiz does not have any power that can hurt Toney, the question is will Toney's punches be able to hurt Ruiz, that might determine the fight.
This fight almost certainly will not end in stoppage, neither guys are big punchers but Ruiz has a pretty lame chin, and Toney has an Iron chin, Toney has never been seriously hurt in any bout in his entire career.
while ruiz has found a way to drag his recent opponents down to his level, toney is in a different league to ruiz and the guys he's been fighting recently, he's forgot more about boxing than ruiz will ever know. toney will win, may even stop him late on, and i for one don't care if i never see john ruiz again.
I belive that "Light Out" will win by UD. John Ruiz isn't a real World Champion, I don't like the way he fight because he kill the show, he is a clinch master...that's enough now!!! :eek:
