Team Ruiz blasted back at Team Sauerland's dismissal of Ruiz' previously reported claims of corruption at the Valuev-Ruiz II clash on August 30 in Berlin. "We had a good laugh reading what Team Sauerland said," said Ruiz advisor/attorney Tony Cardinale, "but we are more concerned about what went on in this fight. We want to review the full, unedited Valuev-Ruiz II videotape to strengthen our position outlined in the original release about the issues.” Team Ruiz claims Ruiz connected with nearly twice as many power punches as Valuev (98-52) and that Valuev instigated 79 “clear” clinches to Ruiz’ 29. Upon review of the full videotape of the fight for review, Team Ruiz indicated that it planned to petition the WBA to rule the bout a no-contest and Valuev be stripped of the WBA title for a blatant violation of WBA rules. Team Ruiz will also seek sanctions against any officials involved in permitting these violations to happen.
