Disappointed in Hayes performance!

[mattboxingfan]

I was disappointed with Hayes Performance I thought he could have finished Ruiz of several times but he just didnt seem botherd, he was content to just land a few big shots and back of! Did anyone else catch the other fights? None of which were any good apart from the Groves figth he wasnt to bad.

Really ? i mean what did you expect ? John Ruiz is a pretty durable guy, except getting caught cold by David Tua, he's always shown a pretty solid chin.

David Haye boxed smart looking to counter, he scored 4 knockdowns busting up John Ruiz's face. Action wise it was ok considering John Ruiz come to fight, plus because were not exactly being treated, to much action in the HW division right now.

And David Haye is only the 2nd man to stop John Ruiz, out of John Ruiz's 55 fights. So all in all i think it was a good performance, yes ok John Ruiz isn't some great HW. And he is very limited plus he isn't exactly in his prime at 38.

But still John Ruiz is a durable guy, with some underrated wins under his belt. And he probably should of had 2 wins over Nikolai Valuev, so he was still pretty fresh.

Im not sure what you was exactly expecting mate, i don't think David Haye could of done much better.

Well from where I was it just seem'd like he hurt him a couple of times and wouldnt follow up on it. All credit to Ruiz he came to fight and pressured Haye from the go but he got hurt a few times and Haye could have pressed for the KO. Ill have to watch the video but from where I was standing he looked hurt more than once!

He took those shots from James Toney too.
And Rahman's punch power was decent I thought.

Andrew Golota
Hasim Rahman
Evander Holyfield
Jimmy Thunder
Tony Tucker
Kirk Johnson

All of these guys have good power.

Rahman MAYBE.....Holyfield?!?! Evander was NEVER a "power puncher" neither was Andrew Golota. Kirk Johnson was OK but looking at the actual fight you can see why I kind of discount him. James Toney was never a proven power puncher at heavyweight.

David Tua was the only guy (maybe Rahman) that Ruiz has fought that you can say "He's a power puncher".

Well i wouldn't say Evander Holyfield is a power puncher, but he has a fair dig. He was the first guy to knockdown iron chinned Ray Mercer, he floored Riddick Bowe and had him KO'ed but had no energy, he stopped Mike Tyson, stopped Buster Douglas, ETC.

As for Andrew Golota again i agree not a real power puncher, but he still hits hard enough. Everytime i've seen Andrew Golota, he seems quite powerful to me, especially with his straight right hand, which butchered Riddick Bowe in there two fights, and made Riddick Bowe a brain damaged totally destroyed fighter.
