Ruiz: "I Know I Beat Valuev, and I'll Do it Again"

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former two-time heavyweight champion John Ruiz (43-7, 29KOs) knows the upcoming fight with Nikolai Valuev (48-1, 34KOs), scheduled for August 30 in Germany, may be his last chance to capture a title. The two square off for the vacant WBA heavyweight title. Ruiz met Valuev for the first time in 2005, in Germany, and lost via close majority decision. A lot of observers, including German press writers, felt Ruiz had done enough to win on the cards. The scores were 116-114, 116-113 and 114-114. [details]

Valuev has improved a lot since the first fight...He has a really good jab now and he is throwing more combinations.

Valuev by wide UD

Valuev looked pretty good winning a shutout 120-107 over former champ Sergei Liakhovich in his last fight.

Valuev was consistantly throwing hard accurate double and triple jabs and following it up with combinations, beating up Liakhovich.

It was an impressive performance

[STEELHEAD]

auhhh no. ruiz again says he's a new man.
embarassing!

imo the only thing good about this fight is for valuev to showcase his improvements. to show he's worthy enough for a bout with
lackey wlad.

Liakhovich was very sick and fatigued in that fight against Briggs...He clearly wasn't himself.
