    Will there be an American heavyweight champion on Saturday?

    Can American heavyweight John Ruiz defeat Nicolay Valuev to win the WBA title?

    He seems very confident. Chagaev showed Valuev is not invincible. Although I think Valuev will win, Ruiz has a chance of coming away with a close decision if his work rate is high enough. Being in Germany is no advantage to Valuev, because the crowd always roots against him, so the judges will not be swayed to favor the giant.

      Hmm,

      Ruiz does have a chance, but since the first fight i think Valuev has improved a fair bit while Ruiz has stayed the same pretty much, So i think Valuev wins it more comfortably than last time.

      I will have to watch a stream of this, I don't think any UK TV Networks have picked the fight up.

        It won't be on TV in the US, but it will be shown on ARD in Germany.

        I will post a link to a livestream the day of the fight, so we can watch it online.

                  No, John Ruiz was born in Massachusetts, USA and still resides there. His heritage is Puerto Rican.
