    Haye floored Ruiz in round 1 with a nice 1 2. Ruiz got up and Haye later hit him with a blatant rabbit punch on the back of the head with plenty of time to have seen Ruiz turn. Point deductiton for Haye.

    The rest of fight Haye moved around and picked off Ruiz from a distance without taking too much. Defended with movement as usual which worked, but he seems to have lost a little head movement since cruiserweight days. A few more knockdowns of Ruiz, but not as clean as the first round one. There were more rabbit punches but not so deliberate as the first one as Ruiz kept turning his back on Haye every time he took a flush shot and Haye was in mid-barrage.

    Ruiz corner threw in the towel in the ninth, which was the right decision. Ruiz was just getting beaten up at that point. He might not have been KO'ed cleanly but no one needs to be taking those shots that Haye was landing more and more towards the end.

    Better than expected showing from Ruiz, Haye looked good but imperfect.

    His trainer said he couldn't spar for 4 weeks prior so a good performance given that.Ruiz kept turning his head in order to survive the onslaught but took some real bombs in there.

    Since I couldn't find video of a male model beating up a homeless bum, here's the next best summation:

    I think after the first knockdown Ruizs nose was broken. It looked flatter and was going at a weird angle. Kinda strange lookin

    Roy Jones beat Ruiz easily when Ruiz was in his prime! Hopkins just beat Jones! Green knocked Jones out in the first round! Ruiz could not hurt Jones! LOL!Jones a former middleweight and Hopkins a former middleweight. Haye fans are now claiming that Ruiz was the greatest heavyweight of all time! LOL! Vitali and Vlad, which one will get Haye into a ring? I doubt if Haye will ever fight them, but if he does he will have his referee to protect him with his illegal blows. Ruiz has a right to file a legit protest for Haye's illegal blows. Remember, Golota was disqulifield for low blows. Abraham was disqualified for an illegal blow, but only one blow. Haye landed several illegal blows. Terry Norris lost his title because of an illegal blow behind the head just like Haye's illegal blows, but there was only one, Haye landed several.
