    Povetkin's style is to throw over 800 punches and Ruiz' style would cut that amount of punches in half. Ruiz is a good inside fighter and punished Chagaev with uppercuts and body punches.

    Povetkin would probably figure out what to do against Ruiz after a few rounds with his amateur experience but he hasn't yet faced a pro who bends the rules in every possible way to win like Ruiz.

    I'm not sure about Ruiz winning a decision, especially in Germany where the referees don't let him use his 'style' and the judges do not like it (understandably) but people should know by now that Ruiz makes anyone look bad.

    Chagaev and Valuev barely managed to win decisions over Ruiz, McCline got shut out... Ruiz' weaknesses are former middleweights and David Tua, Povetkin is neither.

      Yes, Ruiz hugging and holding his way to an ugly decision is possible, but Povetkin is too rough,tough,fast and skilled to let that piece of **** Ruiz get away with his bull****...Povetkin would outwork and outbox Ruiz to win a UD or late TKO.

          I think it would be a horrible clinch fest.

          However Ruiz won't win a decision in Europe

            Fight isn't in Germany. Hypothetically speaking, this fight will be well... not in Europe.

                Don't underestimate the ability of John Ruiz to turn a fight into a stinker and win it.

                  Povetkin would win a decision.

                  But even though Sasha has a crowd-pleasing style, Ruiz would make it into an ugly fight.

                    You can't ever count Ruiz out. The only way I see this fight going is as an absolute stinker all the way to the cards that could go either way. I voted draw. It would be close, and it would be boring.
