I think it ought to be a good fight, given the styles of Haye and Ruiz..........If you can call what Ruiz does, a style.
No, it's cheating. Excessive holding is against the rules of the sport. And faking low blows, well that's just disgraceful.
The fight maybe harder for Haye than the Haye-Nuthuggers wants to believe. Ruiz is a very good boxer and if he wants to win, Haye will be in for a hard fight.
Yeah, it could. Be Ruiz is aging. He seems to be less agile, slower, and just pretty hittable outside of these clinches. Haye needs to jab his face off, dig to the body so Ruiz keeps his glove down. I think the clinch per minute ratio will tell us about the fight.
Is this shown anywhere outside of the UK at all? It is not shown in Germany although Sauerland (German promoter with TV contract) has options on Haye and is a co-promoter of the show.
Ruiz is ANYTHING but a "very good" boxer. In fact, he has next to no real boxing ability, which is why he had to violate the rules against excessive holding and pull other dirty moves to even be competitive with world class fighters. And his connections with King allowed him to get away with it. I can't wait til this cheater gets starched by Haye. Haye's chin is shaky, but Ruiz doesn't have the power to hurt it.
I can not believe that they are not showing this fight on U.S. tv. They are helping to put boxing in America in the grave more than anything else has. They really need to get their head out of their asses.
I guess I am the exception, as I like to see Haye fight. And especially against someone tailor-made for a vicious uppercut knockout, as Ruiz is.
Ruiz in his good days would be a not so easy opponent for Haye. He was a tough fighter But he is aged now, and we haven't seen him for one and a half year from the Valuev fight ( I mean an important fight). He will probably be even worse , so we will mostly have an easy Haye victory. In betting companies it is almost certain
