Will the John Ruiz hugging tactic work on Valuev?

It will work. Ruiz is a master hugger.

I predict Ruiz gets hit on the back of the head alot from trying to hug and this could very well end in a DQ.

I would like to add that in return Ruiz will start low blowing the big guy.........

if anyone can exploit the hugging tactic used by john the bum ruiz, its valuev.

im not saying that valuev is skilled or can do anything, but i think he can possibly be the one to pry that undeserved title away from the ****** hands of john the bum ruiz.

This is a strange fight...

The DEATH of boxing vs. a european hype

I really hope they both land a BIG right on each other and both get KOd at the same time...

Don't think so. Valuev could start leaning on Ruiz every time he hugs. 330 pounds will exhaust Ruiz by the later rounds IMO. Valuev is also known for pushing away those who try to hug him, so Ruiz could be flying across the ring all night long. All in all, my answer is no.

I agree with you, if Valuev wins, I hope he doesn't pull off the same bull**** as Vitali did...

I hope he actually fights Lamon Brewster and gets KTFO!

The thing is, I still don't know how good (or bad) Valuev really is. He had a ****ty fight against Donald but I hesitate to judge boxers based on one fight. I guess we will know soon enough.

Im still sticking with Valuev gets DQ'd for eating the referee in the 5th round
