Ruiz should be demolished in this fight....look at what RJJ and Toney did to him and now he's facing a bigger guy. Unless Ruiz has developed the skill to stop a counter right cross with something other than his face it should be an unspectacular loss for John Ruiz.
(notice I only commented on John Ruiz)
Haye should take Ruiz out within a couple of rounds.

The euphoria in the UK from the valuev fight really suggests to me haye needs a knockout victory here to carry the bandwagon on
Ruiz is the kind of guy that can make you look real ordinary. To the common boxing fan you`d suggest this to go the distance. But the masses wanna see blood and a sell out o2 arena will not take kindly to haye running his way to a 12round decision nor will the national media
Ruiz wan but looked shite in his last fight, mind you, so did Haye;D
I see Haye being more willing to stand and trade. It's not like Ruiz has dynamite in his hands. He's got a good chin, but they don't get better with age. If he's been knocked out before it can happen again. Anyone notice how Ruiz looks like an entirely different human being than how he looked when he fought Tua? David punched him so hard he changed his identity.
FYI, Tua was the last heavyweight with any power than Ruiz fought
All ANYONE (especially someone considering themselves a "Prime, true heavyweight, power puncher") has to do vs John Ruiz is slip and throw the right cross, examples

If John Ruiz doesn't get KO'd I would be surprised and I would laugh at the people pulling for the other fighter. The fight should end in Ruiz being KO'd before round 7
I was thinking the same thing...and Ruiz was caught cold in that fight more then anything (well besides the shot that almost ntook his head off his shoulders)///Quote:

But age and inactivity can do things to guys....Would be funny as hell if Ruiz won a UD in boring fashion
Haye will finish Ruiz within 4 rounds!!!
Haye will have too much fire power to finish Ruiz early on.It was mentioned that Haye will go in and unload on Ruiz and quickly get the main fights with the Klitchco's!!

Haye is waiting for them to age a bit more before he tries for either brother
John Ruiz the punch he's been most open to for the last few years as apparently by the James Toney and Roy Jones clips is the counter right hand or right hand in general. The right hand is Haye's money punch so I can see Ruiz getting caught with it early and often. Could wind up looking like the Maccarinelli fight but lasting longer then 2 rounds.

if hayes hand goes again early in this fight could b trouble for him as the quiet man knows how to win ugly and could quite easily frustrate haye, but if the hayemaker holds up i think mid to late round stoppage.
Exactly. I think all the boxing followers will be well aware of Ruiz's style, and how he's not going to provide the most entertaining of bouts if it goes the way he wants it.Quote:

A 12 round hug-fest will probably give Haye a decision, but it may turn off a lot of people who tuned in to see Haye beat Valuev.
Ruiz is made for Haye to look good. Haye will just need to make sure he does not injure himself, take his time and batter Ruiz in the process. Made to order for Haye.
Ruiz.....*Jab* *Jab* *Grab*... BREAK.... *Jab* *Jab* *Grab* ...BREAK...
I haven't seen Ruiz fight lately, and he's getting up there in ring years. That said, I'll air on the side of caution and see it go the distance of a complete snore-fest with Haye pulling out a decision. Of course, unless Ruiz lands a punch on that china-chinned jackass and puts him to sleep. However, I think the later is less than likely.
Is this fight signed now?
I haven't heard it for def yet!
Haye mid round KO for me. Also may I congratulate Lyle on his success at not talking about David Haye. It must be 5 weeks now!
A British ref is going to break Ruiz every time he tries to hold and will stop him any chance he gets. I think Haye stops him inside the distance.
5 weeks, it feels like forever!...I'm waiting for people to stop bitching about the Klitschko's but seeing how there a ton of Brits on this site and even the people who aren't Brits give the Klitschko's a hard time, I'll just be content to wait it out until one or both of them KO that "special someone" and then....well then I may get banned for just being a total prick and gloating....I may fly over to England afterwards just to rub your noses in it ;)Quote:

Ruiz is---Fugly,nasty,over fed,over exposed,unbearable to watch but he is the armor plated cock roach of the current heavyweight crop.And has been that way for yearrrrrrrrrrrrrs.Wiley,sneaky potent right hand and could care less if he stinks out the arena,I honestly think he'll give young Mr.Haye many problems.Forget about that Tua ko,that was a lifetime ago on a then Deer caught in the headlights Ruiz.
How many fucking times has Ruiz fought for the WBA title? They should just give him the damn thing to keep so he can retire already.
Haye will win, but Jones and Toney already dominated Ruiz when he was still a decent fighter, not over the hill like he is now.
Haye had his chance to fight the Klitchkos after all that talk and now he's fighting RUIZ?
Thats a joke.
It is a convenient mandatory for Haye, make some money, keep the title longer and look good in doing so.Quote:
