Valuev's Promoter Responds To Ruiz's Accusations

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Team Sauerland has dismissed John Ruiz´ protest against the outcome of his WBA heavyweight title fight versus Nikolai Valuev, branding his accusations as “ridiculous and an affront to the WBA”. It is not the first time the former heavyweight champion and his team act as sore losers. Back in December 2005, his then-coach stole the belt from Valuev after the official verdict was announced. Instead of taking the law in their own hand again, Team Ruiz decided to protest the outcome of last month´s fight, which Valuev clearly won on points (116-111, 116-113 and 114-113). Valuev should be stripped of his belt and a rematch ordered, so Ruiz claims. “That is absolutely ridiculous,” Sauerland Event managing director Chris Meyer said. “His accusations are without any substance. They are an affront to the WBA and their officials. Everybody saw that Nikolai clearly won the fight.” [details]
