Ruiz airs dirty laundry against Stoney

Edited Press Release: Sadly, the relationship between John “The Quietman” Ruiz (41-6-1, 28 KOs) and his former manager/trainer Norman “Stoney” Stone appears to be deteriorating.  Ruiz is upset because Stone hasn’t returned his valuable and sentimental memorabilia held in storage. Ruiz says he sent Stone a list requesting the return of his memorabilia that Stone has stored in Wilmington, Massachusetts, including robes, trunks, shoes, gloves, photographs, trophies and belts. “Stoney has held my property in storage,” John said. “He knows that I’ll pay for all of the shipping. I sent him a list nearly two months ago and he still hasn’t responded. He even has a glove and book signed by Max Schmeling that was given to me as a gift when I fought last December in Germany. All I want is what’s mine for my children.” Before jumping to any conclusions about Stone, it should be remebered that Stone stood by Ruiz after Ruiz was destroyed in about thirty seconds by David Tua and no major network would go near him. Stone even mortgaged his own house to keep Ruiz’s career going.
