Ruiz, Stone part ways!
Former heavyweight champion John Ruiz has severed ties with longtime manager Norman "Stoney" Stone. According to the Boston Herald, Stone's repeated confrontations and outbursts disrupted the Ruiz camp in the days before the Quietman's fight with Nicolay Valuev and have caused an irrepairable rift with other members of Team Ruiz. Things got so bad that Ruiz allegedly threatened to leave Germany before the fight. There will reportedly be an announcement coming soon that Stone is retiring.
Ruiz is blaming his demise on Stoney! AH, HA HA HAAAAAAAAA!
Poor Stoney. He was looking out for his one and only known fighter. Albeit with no class and no dignity.
This is true hey at least he stands up for what he beleives in even if he does it with zero class......
