It will be a cracking fight, but I think Ruiz is a bit too old, lost too much speed. Haye by mid rounds KO. Wouldnt be surprised if Ruiz knocks him out but I think Haye wins then gets poleaxed by whichever Klit.
Ruiz has proven time and time again, that he's ready to fight anyone. I Haye/Ruiz will be interesting, yes, given their styles. As has been said, Ruiz is less into the hugging here lately. Seems to have learned to box.
Truly! :yep Just imagine the stylistic matchup! One fighter in a perpetual state of running, the other in a perpetual state of hugging. One trying to hold onto a fighter who won't dare get near you, the other trying to run away from a fighter who won't let you go. It's like a titan against a titan!!! :scaredas:
Ruiz has a lot of experience going 12 rounds at heavyweight. Haye would be foolish to underestimate him. If hubris takes hold and Haye gets too caught up in looking for a KO early when it's not there, he could get KO'd by Ruiz just from bad luck. Ruiz can handle a loss to Haye, but Haye's reputation would be shot to bits if he had a loss to Ruiz.
Well, I'm not entirely surprised by some of the more negative remarks. And I understand why, as I mention in the article, he's a guilty pleasure. However, I am encouraged by how many give him a chance in this fight and those agreeing that he's fought who ever he was instructed to without grumbling. Decent guy, good fighter and it will be interesting when the fight comes to pass.
Haye is too fast for Ruiz. Will be a RJJ-like performance, with the difference that haye has much more power than RJJ. I think Haye will stop Ruiz.
Ruiz will be active for the first few rounds until he feels Haye's power. I seeRuiz then being negative and Haye forcing an ugly stoppage around the 8th.
Don King wants to make money off his new fighter, so Ruiz will not win this fight, he will not be allowed to. Haye signed himself with Don King, he has to do what King says until the last option. Looks as if Don King is Haye's co-promoter. Haye disgraced himself by running and not throwing punches. Haye lied, broke contract with Vlad and lied again and ran from Vitali. Vitali will knock him out and so will Vlad, but Haye will not fight them and even if he wanted to Don King will not allow such.
