I got tickets for haye vs ruiz, i think this will be a great war. Don't wanna hear anything bout haye bein a borin fighter cos that is a sentiment expressed only by people who have not seen him prior to valuev. Ruiz has power, remember he floored holyfield. he has enough to rock haye, maybe even put him down. Ruiz has had so many disappointing decisions lately he will need to go for the ko. I see haye coming out swingin and gettin caught early, this will give ruiz confidence, he will go for the kill. but haye will rough the storm, come back swingin and will finish ruiz within 5 rounds. Maybe it's wishful thinkin to think ruiz will be excitin, but hey, a guy can dream right?
thats the thing tho, tried an tested. in his performances vs chagaev and valuev, the judges didnt score him even tho when he threw, he landed. i think judges these days get caught up with the crowd and how eye pleasing a performance is. take williams vs martinez, martinez fought an awkward fight and williams dint have an answer, but cos he kept throwing, he got the decision
I won't vote for either of those options, but this is like a last call for ruiz and a welcome to the HW party for Haye.
Ruiz trying to hug the **** out of haye + Haye running for his life against ruiz = Be prepared for a long night's sleep
I think it will be a good one. In fact i was going to go..... But then they put the fight up north and not in London! I predict either a UD or late KO for Haye. I can see it being a really interesting fight. But i cant see Haye having to get up off the deck. I think he has this fight in the bag, but its no easy task! And i agree that anyone who thinks Haye is boring and a backpedler should go on Boxing rec, check his KO rate and Shut their mouths. Clearly these are the people who have judged him on one performance alone!
Maybe now that Haye is fighting bigger guys , he will be doing more running and hugging. If Haye has another performance like he did with Valuev against Ruiz, theres not much promise of a memorible scrap. My guess is, while Haye won't be quite as defensive as he was against Valuev, he certainly won't be as aggressive or free swinging as he was against Mormeck. But old Johnny Rotten Ruiz will stink the joint out as usual, the decision will be awarded to Haye, and we'll all have a horrible memory of a wretched fight to try and forget.
Nah Haye will deffo try and blast this guy out, similar sizes. No way he runs. Plus people seem to forget he would of been a lot more active versus Valuev had he not broken his hand in the 2nd.
Haye no doubt. But look at this guy, look at his opponnents in HW. How the **** is possible that after beating Bonin(ha ha ha)and Barret he had a title shot with Valuev(one of the weakest HW champs in history) and now fight with old Ruiz??? After Ruiz who??? Chagaev or Meehan!!!!!!!! WTF??????? WTF WBA???????
