Review: 2014-12-20, disappointing fight between Andy Ruiz Jr and Siarhei Liakhovich: it gets two stars. The undefeated Andy Ruiz Jr entered this fight with a perfect record of 23-0-0 (17 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.14 heavyweight in the world, he has fought twice in 2014 beating Manuel Quezada and Kenny Lemos (=Ruiz Jr vs Lemos).
His opponent, the former Wbo Hw champion Siarhei Liakhovich, has a record of 26-6-0 (16 knockouts) but he won just one out of his last four fights, against Chad Davis (whose record was 5-11-0). Ruiz Jr vs Liakhovich is the main event of the evening. Watch the video and rate this fight!

As long as referees allow fighters like Liakhovich get away with their assorted bear hugs, head locks, arm locks, etc., without penalty, you’re going to have disappointing fights. To compound the felony, the ref warned Ruiz every time he tried to fight out of Liakhovich’ clinches.
