It was a stinker, alright. A lot of thoughts come to mind, in no particular order: This was Ruiz at his best, and I'm thinking that he'd have his hands full with Chris Byrd or Orlin Norris. What was it with Evander? Caution, fear, pain/something physical, or the realization that unless he got knocked down - and probably only if he got KO'ed - he weren't going to lose this fight? And why didn't he take the third round KO over Ruiz practically arrived with a carrying handle and rolling wheels? LPS5

I also had Ruiz winning the fight but I thought it was somewhat closer than what commentators had. Ruiz outworked Holyfield but was rattled several times. I think Lewis-Holyfield I was a worse decision. Oh well, I hope Evander seriously thinks about retirement because he's delusional if he thinks he can unify the belts again.
