[cupey alto]

CANCUN, Mexico (March 3, 2008) – Two-time World Boxing Association heavyweight champion John “The Quietman” Ruiz (42-7-1, 29 KOs), rated No. 3 by the WBA and No. 5 by the WBC, fights veteran Jameel “Big Time” McCline this Saturday night on the Oleg Maskaev-Samuel Peter card in Cancun, Mexico.

Ruiz, who broke Las Vegas-based training camp Sunday and flew to Cancun with his head trainer, Manny Siaca, Sr., has positioned himself for one last title run and a win Saturday against McCline will put him in line to challenge in the WBC and WBA.

This fight has barnburner written all over it:lol:

The WBC means waiting for Klitschko to fight the Maskaev-Peter winner, the WBA means probably fighting the winner of Chagaev-Valuev II.

It could be a bit of a wait for Ruiz.

People still watch heavyweights :doh:

With Chagaev last pathetic performance, John Ruiz is currently the biggest threat to Wlad

[LOK]

I hope Johnny beats Wlad:lol:

I'm not sure about that, BUT anyone who allows MATT SKELTON to tee off with unanswered uppercuts to the chin has plenty left to prove, to say the least...
