Superb video by someone at the Haye /Ruiz Fight

Well he did get a point deducted. But yes, the ref could easily have taken another point off.

 

:good Thanks - didn't know that. I haven't seen the fight, so was just going off what was shown in this clip.

 

Glad to be of help.

The ref deducted a point off of Haye right after the second knockdown of the first round. He gave Ruiz the 8-count (he ruled it a knockdown as Ruiz was already beginning to fall even before the rabbit-punch) and right after that he deducted a point.

 

Great Vid.

 

Great video, but Haye is goddam lucky he didn't get DQ'd. I'm not a big Ruiz fan, but those punches to the back of the head were b****

 

Thanks for posting.

 

Yep. Ruiz took some real bombs to the back of the head.

 

Aside from the power of Haye, I must say i was pretty impressed at his bending and pivoting at the waist. He was slipping punches very nicely.

 

The atmosphere there was amazing, its going to be hard for anyone to come over here and beat Haye if they have any nerves at all going in. If Haye fights Wlad at Wembley I give him a significantly better chance of winning that fight, although for some reason I think Vitali would thrive on it

 

They were bull****, but over here he could probably have done what Abraham did and get away with it.

 

I hope Haye turns out to be The One. He s got everything we need for a great champ- to revive the sport and take over from Manny and Floyd. Skills, Charisma, speaking, looks, speed, power, dedication.
Pity he s a Pom is all. ;-)

 

btw that ref should never work again, how the **** does a KO get scored- AND a point get deducted for the same hit?!?! its either one or the other, he clearly got confused in the situation and let his judgement get affected- such refs should nt work, being able to think in a high pressure situation is critical for ref- not just knowing the rules and when to break. this guy ****ed it. we need to have stricter regulations for refs and judges- 3 strikes and your out is fair i think

 

awsome thanks

 

Always love seeing the fights from that vantage point. One of my favorite angles. The steadicam operator did a sensational job shooting Ruiz when he was pacing back and forth. Shocking to realize that was hand-held. It looked like he was on tracks going back and forth on a dolly from broadcast. The Brits are as good as it gets in production. Some serious badasses behind the scenes out there.
