Just noticed this on the news this morning. Ruiz has lost his WBA title to what appears to be an ogre from some gruesome old russian fairy tale.

See e.g. http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20051218/capt.wber10812180045.germany_boxing_wba_heavyweight_championship_wber108.jpg

Of course in boxing there is always an alterior motive... and Ruiz was NEVER going to win this fight, even if he won it, which he did.

Another marketing ploy by Don King.

watch now for the USA V Russia campaign King will be touting.

fucking disgrace.

Valuev is only 32 but boy what a monster.

Nope... won 43 with 31 ko's and 1 no contest.

His greatest 'accomplishment' to date has been a 3 round KO of The Black Rhino - Clifford Etienne... after that he beat Larry 'The Legend' Donald (who beat Holyfield last year) and obv' Ruiz on Saturday.

He's pants... but big. like I said earlier... it's all in the script for a Rocky v Drago showdown which Donald King will be championing in the New Year.

Meanwhile ....

Promoter Don King has a 50% promotional share of newly crowned 7-foot WBA heavyweight champion Nicolay Valuev for four more fights and he has promised to bring Valuev to the U.S. Wonder just who has the other 50%?

There are some people in this world who are more crooked and more dangerous to fuck with than Don King, and many of them live in Russia.

Probably be a Don Abromovich or Roman King production.

Looks like Ruiz just wanted a big cuddle with that oversized freak.

Shit man, what do they feed 'em in the East?
