I was entertained by the Golata fight, thats for damn sure. I was looking forward with eager anticipation to the Golata fight.

um. Golota landed the more heavy blows, and landed 30+ more punches. How exactly did he outpunch Golota?

Golota managed to land more puches even though he spent the vast majority of the fight being hugged by Ruiz. Are you sure you saw the fight?

There were rounds in which Ruiz stunned Golata and outlanded him. I'm not saying all the rounds, but some.

Why? Golata can get some things done, and Ruiz is more greco roman wrestler than sports entertainment. If anything, he should be an olympian.

****ing bull**** if you ask me. One guy outlands the other, knocks the other mother****er down twice and the other mother****er gets a point deducted and he still wins. ****ING ****ING ****ING BULL****!!!!!!! No respect here for that other mother****er. **** HIM AND HIS ****ING JERK-OFF TRAINER.

That **** was funny when Stoney got kicked out of the corner for calling the ref a "f**king jerk off". Classic! Rick Reeno should put that in his little boxing quotes thingy on the front page.

I have long been John Ruiz' harshest critic. I remember as a young boy who grew up in a boxing family watching David Tua remove "The Quiet Man" from conciousness in 1996. I remember how John Ruiz grabbed and wrestled his way through the Holyfield Trilogy. I remember how he didn't seem interested in defending his title against Jones. I remember how he "fought" Hasim Rahman and got the decision. But after he came out in round 1 and landed his clean shots against Golata, I had a feeling he might be for real. Then when he got off the canvas 2 times to out punch the much more gifted Andrew Golata, he gained my respect. While I don't think he will ever be the recognized heavyweight champ or one of the greats, he is a tough son of a *****, and he fought like a champ, atleast against Golata. But I do feel Golata deserved the decision.

You call that fighting like a champ? Hardly. With all due respect, I must say that I'm glad you're not a fight promoter. Ruiz is a professional disgrace and he should be personally digusted with himself as a fighter and as a person.

My attack on his professional performances need no lengthy explanation- he sucks. He would rather hug and grope (which is illegal as no ref but Jay Nady realizes)than fight. He cheats, whines and pouts in the ring.

I am attacking him personally based on the litany of whining, unprofessionalism, dirty tactics, refusing to give a conquering opponent credit, being in any way associated with that fat createn Stone, and just an overall ora of being a pug.

Of course, this is just my (and just about everyone elses) opinion.
