This. :thumbsup I was rewatching the Jones Ruiz bout the other day, and Ruiz was very troubled by Jones' speed. Haye doesn't match Jones for speed, but Jones was not as quick at Heavyweight as he was in the lower divisions. Haye is very quick for a Heavyweight, and he also carries a lot more power than Jones at this weight. Ruiz is 38 isn't he?...I can see Haye teeing off on him with power shots all night, and if he gets Ruiz in trouble...I can see him finishing it.
Im a Brit and ive money on Ruiz.I think it could be a really good night for Haye where he blows John out early or a very bad one where he is dragged into the late rounds and gets stopped.Ive got my money on Ruiz in the 10th.Also have a £5 on Ruiz in 1 at 125/1 why not.Main money on round 10.
I've got Haye by tko or UD, as Ruiz is too old and too slow. But at least Haye is fighting a real HW, not a slo-mo, circus freakshow in Valuev, or a pretend HW in Barrett. Ruiz is a legitimate pro HW. May the best man win.
