John Ruiz has transformed from a hard-working, not-so-talented fighter that fans might like to root for into an awkward, practically non-talented fighter that fans will want to stay away from.
I felt sorry for the big goof Johnson, as Ruiz got to the point where he was just waiting for a chance to dive again to get out of the fight. Not that Johnson deserved to win. He should've used his jab more and moved around a bit.
Johnson IMO has a chance to become something. He looked a bit spooked by the camera, but may be able to salvage a pretty fair career out of himself.
Ruiz, well he landed himself at the number three spot.
Number three worst "Big 3" heavyweight champion of all time....
George Washington gave his signature The Government gave its hand They said for now and ever more that this was Indian Land
"As long as the moon shall rise" "As long as the rivers flow" "As long as the sun will shine" "As long as the grass shall grow"
I liked when they described his fighting style as the crab technique. Also of note was the verbal beating laid on Ruiz by Steward after the fight, talking about how he basically will never get to fight Lewis.
As for Johnson, by the tenth round, he should never have thrown anything lower than Ruiz's nipples. He could have won all three of the final rounds with nothing but his jab, taken the fake title, and had himself in position to go on to Lewis. Instead he had to keep trying to go to the body, against all good judgment. Sure the last shot was questionable (though the earlier ones weren't IMO) but why give the ref the chance to DQ you at all?
So I have to ask of course who are the other 2 on the list? And is Trevor Berbick #1? ;)
You never know when you'll meet that special someone... the someone that's mysteriously blind to your flaws. or, you know, stupid enough not to realize that yes, you really are that cynical.
This came out last year (I believe) for the 20th anniversary of American Werewolf in London. Pretty cool little site. Someone needs to design an online game like this. www.americanwerewolf.com DMC
