Haye is favourite for this bout, but could we actually see an upset? Haye has called Ruiz ''boring'' and ''a cure for insomnia'', but will Haye eat his own words for talking too much? Is Ruiz too old, too slow and lacking in power to trouble the hard hitting, speedy brit, or will he find a way to stun Haye? I think Ruiz will show alot of heart in this fight and with his style make it tough for Haye, but as Haye is much faster and powerful I see haye winning most rounds and will possibly stop Ruiz late in the fight or by unanimous decision. Let me know how you think the fight will unfold!
Haye should have the attributes with which Ruiz has been beaten in the past: Jones, Toney and Chagaev all defeated Ruiz with well-timed counter shots that prevented Rui from rushing in. Haye should have exactly the weapons to do that, and with his right cross he could actually score an impressive victory. Then again soid heavyweights have failed in the task. Ruiz has a sneaky and surprisingly hard right hand and since we don't know if Haye can take a punch, the possibility of a surprise is definitely there
I think we DO know he can't take a punch. What he can do though, is masterfully bitch,.. gotta love that cunning 'square up' to give himself enough room to run to the adjacent corner move he pulled on Valuev, over and over again in a long drawn out orgasm to the eyes.
While I like both, I will definitively rooting for my man Ruiz. And Haye shouldn't call Ruiz boring after his awfull fight with Valuev ( whic was way worse than Ruiz-Valuev I or II ). At this point of Ruiz career, Haye should have too much for him, but I expect Ruiz to make it tough on him if he can take Haye shot.
Haye should win, but such is the weakness of his chin it wouldn't be a MASSIVE shock if he were to lose. As Kauki alluded to (I think ::), I'm keen to see a much improved performance from Haye in terms of entertainment. He fought a sensible yet deathly dull effort against Shrek last time out and this time around he needs to start backing up his loud words with a loud performance. MTF
Haye talks loads of shit about Wlad being boring and what does he do? Goes out and puts on an even more boring performance. Now he's talking shit about Ruiz. It's sure to be a foul filled hug fest, bet on it.
