Im excited for this fight. It will feature the two Saviors of HW division, the bearded warrior and the Hayemaker. Who else is excited about this incredible matchup featuring to future ATG's? Im anticipating 12 rounds of massive hugging, furiously winged punches, all out sprinting, and gritty determination not to engage, the likes of which has never been seen. It will be a MASSACRE :shock:
Oh please. The only thing real boxing fans will be hoping for is for Haye to knock that talentless slug out and rid the division of his shenanigans for good!
In other news, the WBA belt is now so worthless, that its street value is less than a dime bag of weed.
Haye will probbaly stop him in a semi decent fight. Ruiz did look better and was in shape under Miguel Diaz tonight.
Agreed. I think it'll be a very short fight and Ruiz won't be in good health after it. Anyone who saw Haye for the first time tonight and thinks that was his natural style needs a reality check. He did what he had to do and that was to completely rein in his natural instinct. Against Ruiz he would go out and throw - and it'd not have to be too many to put Ruiz flat on his back. I like Ruiz, but I do wish he'd stop dreaming. It is never going to happen and you saw all the evidence of that tonight with the length of time it took him to put away a very brave, but ultimately unskilled, fighter.
You seem to think that Haye would approach this fight the same way he approached the fight with Valuev. :roll: I take it that you hav'nt seen any of Hayes other fights? :roll:
The only thing i'm excited regarding this this fight is that Haye is gonna blitz Ruiz Tua style!!! Damn right this guy is the saviour of the HW division! He's gonna rid us of Valuev and Ruiz from the HW scene in consecutive fights! :yep
Of course he looked better, he was fighting a mediocre journeyman. Ruiz actually fights when he's matched against guys with skills near his level. When he has to fight world class fighters, he cheats, because he doesn't have the ability to "beat" them otherwise. I don't think he'll be able to get away with his usual shenanigans with Haye though. Haye's too fast.
It will be a completely different fight, that is obvious. Not everybody is 7ft and 320lbs, Haye ain't become boring overnight. I think it will work out to be a decent fight.
I meant he didn't fight his usual jab and grab tactics. He seemed to want to actually fight.And he was very trim.
I can't wait for this fight either. Haye will come out firing and crush Ruiz. Haye isn't all of a sudden some boring fighter. He fought a 7'2 freak and had a great gameplan.
If haye can make valuev do the chicken dance, ruiz wont last past the half way point. Ruiz will get hurt and get hurt early.
Oh man!!! The best evah - John The Quietman Ruiz fighting the troll!!! Can't wait for the absolute thriller!!!
