(Ruiz) showed he was a great fighter.Ruiz wants to fight Parker again.I think (I) got the win or at least a draw, I think I set the pace with my jab, Ruiz said. Maybe well get the rematch.Parker weighed in Friday two kilograms heavier than his previous highest fight weight and looked out of condition. In contrast, Ruiz shed a large amount of weight in altitude training and looked fitter than usual but was still heavier than Parker.Ruiz was the aggressor through the first half of the fight, stalking Parker in the center of the ring, pushing forward and avoiding Parkers jabs. He scored continuously in the early rounds, showing patience in using his jab, while Parker looked lethargic and struggled to use his left hand to any effect.Parker tried to lift his effort in the second half of the bout but still seemed ineffective, missing with his jab and mistiming his combinations. He seemed to come into the last round significantly behind and the judges decision in favor of Parker was a major surprise.Parker didnt appear to have landed any significant blows throughout the fight and showed a passivity that contrasted with Ruizs more active style.

MILAN -- Italy coach Gian Piero Ventura said that while its evident his players will be out for revenge in Tuesdays friendly against Germany, hes more concerned about what they can learn from playing the world champion.Germany defeated Italy on penalties in the quarterfinal of the European Championship in July after the match had finished 1-1. It was coach Antonio Contes final match in charge before taking over at Chelsea.They havent spoken about revenge, but they have it inside them, its clear enough, Ventura said on Monday. Even those who didnt play at the Euros. But this is certainly not a match where you need extra motivation.Even if it is a friendly, in reality, it is a match of top billing. Italy versus Germany is always Italy versus Germany. It gives its own motivation.Italy beat Liechtenstein 4-0 on Saturday in World Cup qualifying and remains second in Group G, behind Spain on goal difference.Ventura is not expected to make many changes for Tuesday, although there are doubts over the fitness of Inter pair Antonio Candreva and Eder, both of whom have slight injuries.On one side, we want to keep the same structure. On the other, there are the youngsters. Then, we have to win against Germany, Ventura said. Its a really standout friendly -- important and weighty, but its still a friendly.Our future is not just tomorrow, but just behind it. Italy versus Germany has to be the window into the future that we want. As were growing and planning, its important what the match tells us. Were playing against the most organized national team of them all. We have to test ourselves in that aspect.Germany crushed Italy 4-1 in Munich in March and then followed it with the victory in the Euro 2016 quarterfinal in Bordeaux.dddddddddddd. Until then, Germany had not claimed a victory over the Azzurri in anything but a friendly -- and it is now looking for its first three-game winning streak in the 34 matches between the sides.The two also drew 1-1 in a friendly in Milan in 2013, their last match before this year.We havent lost in the last three matches so weve dispelled that myth, Germany defender Mats Hummels said. They are always difficult matches. Its a very tough opponent, but were not talking about a curse or a nemesis -- just a squad that can trouble us, like other strong teams.Germany won a World Cup qualifier 8-0 in San Marino on Friday and is top of Group C, five points ahead of Northern Ireland and Azerbaijan.Serge Gnabry had a hat trick in that match, his international debut, while Benjamin Henrichs also made his first appearance for Germany.The other newcomer in the group, Wolfsburg midfielder Yannick Gerhardt, will get his chance in Milan.Its a right mix between new faces and players with more experience, Hummels said. Weve had the same group since September and weve started qualification well.There is a great team spirit, a great working spirit, so that can only make us hopeful for a rosy future.Eight of Germanys 25 players are 21 or younger.We are fortunate that we can count on a lot of experienced players who act as mother hens, Germany coach Joachim Loew said. They guide these youngsters off the pitch as well as on it. ' ' '
