David Haye vs. John Ruiz: who will win?

[The Hammer]

Does Ruiz have a chance?

I don't think so. The prime version of Ruiz of about 5 years ago would have done okay and probably beaten Haye, but at his age of 38 John's been slowing down, and his Don King-imposed inactivity has likely had an effect.

I don't think Haye will knock him out, but the younger fighter will more than likely win a decision.

1. If Ruiz comes in a good shape, then he has a good chance... but I am not an expert on David Haye, so I may be underestimating David.

2. If Ruiz comes in a poor shape, then he will lose a boring decision... (because Ruiz never lost in exciting fashion apart from his fight with Tua) but again I am not an expert on David Haye....

Ruiz is very hard to KO because of his grab-n-hold style... but if Haye KOs Ruiz he will make a big statement.

I almost guarentee the ref will be VERY strict on the holding in this fight, Ruiz will fall quickly with his main line of defence not made avaliable to him.

this is what i'm thinking , british refs wont be lenient with ruiz and he may possibly be docked points
