I understand what you are saying, but Ruiz still has massive experience in world Title matches on his side. I would rate Oquendo, Johnson, and Rachman as better fighters than Mc Bride, and John has given a frightfull thrashing to all three of them. One thing though.....being 6feet6inches and over 270 pounds, he could lean on Ruiz in the inevitable clinches and drain Ruiz's stamina somewhat........interesting.
Later brother brologs.
half of his fights the judging was horrible, he should have lost tthe Golota fight. Mcbride has a good chance vs Ruiz. I would love to see Valuev or Sam Peter give Ruiz a beating...
lol your daily post average is 37 a day, mine is like 12. lol ;)
Whats your point?
Your in a forum, so whoever posts less is cooler?
I can't wait to beat your ass when you come to Kronk :boxing:
I just want Ruiz to fianlly lose big so that we won't have to watch him ever again....I thought It happened in April but James was on the sauce....McBride has no chance of beating Ruiz, and DK knows it, so I'm pretty sure that this fight will land in Boston and sell about 30 tix and that Ruiz will win a boring decision and we'll have to see him AGAIN :(Now I have more reasons than ever to see Ruiz loose..
"The Pretender"
But I don't know what's worst.. if Ruiz looses, the Pretender will come out again (just like after Toney loss) and start crying how Ruiz is still a true champ and on and on... LOL
Can't both of them just retire?
This is the candidate for the worst fight of 2005. If Ruiz is going to lose to this journey man, then he should follow the footsteps of Mike Tyson to quit his career.

I actually agree with that..

No disrespect meant to Mckay but I think McBride is a C- fighter who faught a shot legend. I think Ruiz would clinch and punch his way to an easy decision.C-o-r-r-e-c-t-a-m-u-n-d-o
you just set a record for the highest # of incorrect comments in 1 post, congrats on the incredible failure ratio

McBride could beat Ruiz. McBride is very strong, and a talented inside fighter which are skills you need to beat Ruiz. McBride would match up very well against him. McBride also has power and a stellar uppercut. I would say good stamina and chin as well. Kevin is a legit fighter.

heh just when you thought the HW division couldn't sink any lower, we got a potential mcbride/ruiz title fight =(.
i can see them advertising mcbride as "the man who ended iron mike tyson's career!!!" the public will eat it up.

you know after danny williams got his butt kicked by vitali youd think people would stop giving tyson beaters so much respect. However, I think people are doing this because a lot more people know who "that guy who beat Tyson" is than most other top heavyweights. Sad but true
jizzez, big buck would get a tittle shot if he beat tyson.
what is the world comming to?
a bum beats an old man who is only there for the money and hey he gets shot at the title.
:(

LOL - Irish Abroad. The premiere boxing site on the 'net.
I think we should wait to see if McBride gets ranked by the WBA to buy this story. But hell, McBride is as credible as an opponent as Valuev.
