Haye batters Ruiz in Round 9

gotta give ruiz some props. He took a hell of a beating from haye

 

Haye put on a good performance I admit, but he couldn't get the KO over a 38 year old out of shape Ruiz.

To be honest I think a prime Ruiz could beat a prime Haye.

 

gotta love the WBAs mandatory

what a joke......

props to haye for finally getting rid of this nomad

 

Haye was pretty special tonight, i think he could have got him out of there a lot earlier, he was carrying Ruiz from round 4, but i dont think he wanted to commit himself too much and mabey punch himself out as Ruiz has shown to be very durable,

All in all though Haye put on a masterclass, outboxed, outpunched and outsped Ruiz beating him to the punch and forcing the innevitable stoppage. Great fight.

 

How do you figure? A prime Ruiz got trashed by a LHW Roy Jones Jr. Haye is not as good as Jones, but he has a similar style, is bigger, and hits harder. No version of Ruiz beats Haye. A prime Ruiz probably goes the distance though.

 

The ko would have come but most likely at the cost of ruiz's health. ruiz corner did the right thing imo

 

well maybe not necessarily beat him but it would be a close decision. My honest opinion. This was a 38 year old Ruiz here, if Ruiz could fight like he did tonight but was in his prime I think he could squeak by a decision.

 

damn...

 

hey Haye is nothing special, everybody knows if he steps up to fight Vitali or whatever he'll lose.

I hate both the Klit Bros. but it's just the honest truth, Haye hasn't beat anyone except for a 38 year old Ruiz.

 

The man is 28 and has 5 world titles in two weight divisions, all in 25 fights.

To say he hasnt done this or that is ridiculous, to do what he has done in 25 fights is almost unheard of

 

Good performance by Haye.

Its actually refreshing to see a good Heavyweight fight. After all the glamour division hasn't been all that glamorous in recent times.

I got the impression that Haye was carrying him for a few rounds hoping he'd soften him up before he lands another big right hand but one thing is for certain; Ruiz came to win.

I'd like to see how David fares against Wladimir or Vitaly.....

 

yeah and only if wlad would have fought him we could have watched another 12 rnd bore fest

 

Officially the first time i've enjoyed a fight that featured John Ruiz
