    Ruiz to beat Haye, by KO perhaps and Jones to outpoint Hopkins?

    Not making a prediction here yet, but at 5-1 odds on both, seems a bit odd to me.

    I think Jones could have the style and size to beat Hopkins again, I really think Ruiz has a chance against Haye tomorrow night. :good

    I bet on Ruiz to pull it off, or come out with a draw at 33 to 1 odds...

    Can't see either happening if I'm being honest.

    Hopkins will win a one sided borefest in which he does just enough to win the majoirty of the rounds. As regards to Haye: I see him winning but being given difficulty en route to a late stoppage if not a clear points win. Haye doesn't appear to be in the shape for Ruiz as he was against Valuev and I echo what Harrison said about Haye's timing being off. More will become evident on fight night. And for those picking Ruiz, I expect that you'll come on here and give Haye his props for beating a man you though he would lose to....

    Ruiz has no change but Jones could have some change considering Hopkins isn’t really a knockout artist.

    1-5 odds in that fight could be worth trying

    Haye will win 116 - 112 UD. It may be closer than that.
    Bhop will win 117 - 111 UD. It may be more lopsided than that.

    Both fights are tough to predict.

    Ruiz may be the most underrated HW of my generation and Jones has both showed some flashes of his old self but got caught last time out against Green.

    For the money, Ruiz and Jones to win look like fantastic bets, but Haye/Ruiz to draw looks like the best bet as Ruiz is always in close fights.

    Agreed. Ruiz is gonna pulverized, thank goodness. Jones has a shot to win if he avoids getting starched, and like you say, Hopkins isn't a KO artist. I think Hopkins likely wins a close decision.
