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

[HattonTheHammer]

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

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?

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...

"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....

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