SaddoBoxing Rates the Fight: Haye-vs-Ruiz

[FTMatty]

I voted good fight.
Looked better on TV than it did in the arena, but any fight with 4 knockdowns deserves the "good fight" tag. To be honest a lot of respect has to go to Ruiz for taking the punishment he did. Just check out the flurry he took after about a minute of the 5th round, truely unbelievable as the right hand of Haye would have knocked out a horse.

Good Fight. I for one don't like Haye I thought he was a complete hype job, but he did prove me wrong. Granted he did beat a 38 year old decent fighter who does have a good jaw.He did control every second of the round, he used his boxing abilities to really get away from that rough inside crap that Ruiz like to throw at you and he eventually stopped him. The only bad thing I seen was he was entirely to patient. Sure people always say The knockout will come don't rush it but Ruiz was really like a deer in head light's in the second round. His legs were rubbery and I think any solid combination would have put him down alot sooner than that one in round 5.

I finally ended up seeing it and compared to the hold fest and slow pace/Hay being measured, that I expected it was highly entertaining.

@Jimboogie you are an idiot how hard is to tick the public box


I voted for an entertaining and pretty decent fight. A bit onesided, but I guess that is credit to David Haye.

I still don't like him and want to see him fail but I acknowledge that this is 100 percent due to small man complex and ugly man jealousy.

I havent seen the whole fight but I voted good because I have seen most parts and highlights and like someone said earlier, a fight with 4 KDs and ends in TKO cant be all bad.

I am not a huge fan of Haye because of the trash talk and the fact that he didnt back it up when the chips were down. He backed out of the fights with Klitchkos and than fights a boring match against Valuev after all the crap he talked about bringing life to division.

But I have to say his last few interviews he seemed to be more respectable and I could see myself liking him if he fights like he did against ruiz and tunes down the trash talk.......

What good would the results be if you have to watch the whole fight before voting?

To clarify my vote was based upon watching rounds 1-3 and 7-9 in their entirety and highlights of the knockdowns in the 5th and 6th rounds. I will go back and watch 4-6 in their entirety and modify my vote as required....
