Saturday night Haye v Ruiz at MEN - who's going to be there ?

Who's going to be there on Saturday ?

Myself, Fantana (a badly bruised Fantana no doubt) and FTMatty will be around in the arena drinking areas partaking of a few ales a couple of hours prior to fight time. Please don't be afraid to come up to us and say "What are you having ?"

Hell I might even have my Saddoboxing tshirt on so no need for not recognizing us.

thanks

TKO

jammy sod, i was well up for this one when it was originally announced for the o2 in london.

jamie moore on the comeback trail, lynes fighting for the commonwealth, georgie groves fighting his 1st 12rounder, a lot to get excited about if your a domestic fight fan.

Thank f*ck this is on box office as we`ll get to see every single one of these fights!!

Me I'll be there! Just look for the Brad Pitt lookalike ;)

Absolutely gutted i'm not at this one. Just couldn't afford it. Gonna have to make do with going to the weigh-in tomorrow. Maybe all hell will break loose and Haye & Ruiz will set to each other on the stage. Then it won't matter that I don't have a ticket.... Ha

Looking forward to ther Groves Adamu fight man also...

i'll be there..

I fly to Crete via Athens at 06.00am on Friday morning as i got a decent new job start, i'd would have flown back for this and took my chances with a tout otherwise.

Brilliant fight arena for anyone who's not been before (Calzaghe v Lacy was an amazing night).

Great line up of fights too so you'll deffo get your monies worth.

I see Haye boxing superbly and winning by a thumping KO around the 7th.

Just don't see any way Ruiz can win and Haye is a far superior boxer and Athelete.

First thing i'm doing when i arrive in Crete (Got a few days off) is running round the local bars finding out who's showing this.

For me it's simply not an option to miss this:cool:

Just out of interest what's the UK Press coverage of this to date?

Have the Sun etc been building it up or what?

To all those going, have a brilliant night and sink some ales for me:-X

I will be there,looking forward to it,not looking forward to the 2 half hour drive to manchester tho.

There's been a bit in the Sun everyday but nothing major. A little mock up of Ferdinands face on Haye's body and vica versa. Ferdinand will be ringside as will Ricky Hatton so I've read. Also read that Haye looks heavy and his timing is off though, can't remember who said that...

I'm there on Staurday, going with the missus, her sister and her chap. Really looking forward to it, not been to the MEN before and only opted for the £50 tickets so I'm glad to hear it's a decent arena for boxing. Any big screens do you know?

I've also got a free £30 bet with Ladbrokes I need to use up, anyone got any suggestions?

The Sun have been reporting Ruiz has never been stopped. Fucks sake ;D

haye between 10-12 seems the obvious bet

I think Ruiz is tought. Haye will try to finish him before fight ends but will fail. I would bet Haye win by unanimous decision.

Hmm, think I best check out the odds for a mid to late round stoppage.

On a side note, I normally take anything Haye says to hype a fight with a pinch of salt, but I really do believe his followig quote from the Guardian...

Quote:

---

"I'm going back to what I used to do," Haye said. "This time, I'm punching at the same angles I have done since I was a kid. Adam's pretty straight-talking. He doesn't say things he doesn't believe. And he says I'm punching faster and harder than I did in the last fight and the one before that [against Monte Barrett].


"Adam's really happy where I'm at at the moment, and so am I. I feel this is my time. Come fight night, I will feel pretty much like I'm the finished product. Everything seems to have come together at the right time."

---

I'm going Haye in 7 - but an early blowout of Ruiz wouldn't surprise me either.

Have to make sure I don't drink to much and not see or remember a thing like Tyson v Francis....:rolleyes:

Anyone heard how tickets have sold - has he sold it out ??

you be careful and behave yourself out there in Crete...;)

I'm not a haye supporter, but if for some unforseen godforsaken reason haye doesn't ko this clown in the first round, please one of you jump in there and hit ruiz with a damn brick and tell him to go away.

im block 102 row E

I'll be there, taking the other half. Should be an interesting nights entertainment!

There is a few left yet but all £100+.

Ill be there just look for a mop of blonde hair! Cant wait for this one!

I'll be there.

Newbie here with a very unoriginal name. I won't be there but will be watching from home.
Just wondering if anyone checked the odds on Ladbrokes fore the Groves fight last night. I was amazed by the odds... 5/4 to win by KO (as it still is) but then 16/1 to win rounds 1-3 and 40/1 upwards on winning in rounds 1-12. Incredible odds.
I was waiting until this morning to place my bet as I wanted time to have a think and work out what to put on, anyway this morning the odds have completely switched. They posted the Adamu odds under Groves! I'm gutted for not getting in fast enough. Did anyone else notice this and manage to put a bet on in time?

Anyone know what time this fight starts in the states and what channel it will be on?

Although it's a decent undercard I'm only aiming to be there for the Groves fight and Haye. What time do people think would be best to get there for? I'm thinking aroung 8pm?

I like David Haye and have no doubt that he will win this fight. The only thing that comes to mind when I think of John Ruiz is "Ugh."

Haye 222, Ruiz 231


WBA heavyweight champion David Haye and challenger John Ruiz took to the scales this afternoon ahead of their title showdown in Manchester, England tomorrow night. Champion Haye looked in magnificent shape and tipped the beam at 222lbs (15 stone 12lbs) [FONT="Arial Black"]while Ruiz, who refused to take his t-shirt off, weighed 231 lbs (16 stone 7 lbs)[/FONT]. The fight is being broadcast live in the UK on Sky Box Office.
April 2nd, 201


Just wait till he takes his shirt off and see his newly gained muscles. I believe we may be in store for something special.

I'll be there acting as minder for Mark.
Looking forward to 3 great fights.
Groves will potentially be the most explosive.

You'll be the guy laying there outside in only his Saddo thong after Fantana finishes with you in the alleyway.
