just an utterly horrible fight.......that`s why you just have to pass on wagering on some of this garbage.....
golota jumps out early....looked like ruiz actually tried to fight normally early.....and got knocked on his ass for his trouble......one knockdown...not two...the ref called the second push a knockdown...it wasn`t.....
then ruiz falls into his punch and clinch routine......through the 4th to around the 8th.....how you score that crap,i have no idea.....
but,then,starting around the 9th,i thought ruiz took over...and golota stopped fighting.... i don`t know why.....in the last few rounds ,ruiz beat him around the ring....
it`s the best ruiz has ever looked,imo.....
golota had the fight won...all he had to do was put out a little....instead,he went into a shell and got what he deserved.....
a good decision,imo......ruiz was the one trying for the last 5 rounds....golota did his usual mental meltdown....by not punching......the guy`s an absolute loon....
byrd just wore down mccline....mccline was gassed by the 7th...byrd is smart....take the big lummox into deep water and drown him...that`s just what he did...i was worried about my over...i though mccline might go in the 11th.....
the guy is a mediocre heavyweight....despite the size...and being relatively athletic for that size....
i have to give byrd credit....the guy finds ways to hang in fights with these monsters on smarts....and patience.....he`s a damned good fighter...not exciting...but he knows his way around the squared circle....
i`m not gonna get carried away with rahman....i figured meehan wasn`t nearly as good as he looked vs bogus brewster.....
rahman will probably come in undertrained,heavy and lethargic for his next fight......
holifield needs to be made to retire...before he gets seriously hurt...he couldn`t get off...he said it himself after the fight...that`s the sign that it`s over...we saw it with jones vs johnson.....
as for stoney stone,he needs to get clipped and clipped good.....a total white trash a-hole....a disgusting piece of garbage....when he came out to that little,fat baldheaded cornerman of golota`s during an early altercation in the fight,i was thinking why isn`t the guy in the other corner ever a guy that looks like he can handle himself?. ....it`s always some defenseless shlub....
what a piece of work....at least he helps liven up the usually boring ruiz bouts......
if i never see ruiz or golota in the ring again,i`ll be happy as a clam...
