Ruiz wins. -
He did not get knocked out cold by thompson, he punched himself out, and could not take the pace in the middle rounds, although his chin is hardly granite....only reason thompson did not go is because he is as tough as they come, Haye threw bombs from the 1st bell, inexperience on haye's part...jurys out for me on david haye, dont like the trash he talks, but the man can PUNCH!Comment

thompson was a good tough fighter better than what he acheived in the sport haye went for the kill to early and couldnt put the tough old pro down was lookin like a great win for haye but stamina failed and was just target pactise from there on in haye has the talent to become next unisupted champ be great for boxing if he doesComment

Haye's loss to Thompson was pretty much identical to Wlad-Puritty. The only difference was that Wlad lasted longer, but him gassing out whilst comfortably ahead was no less embarrassing. Neither man got "KTFO", but rather simply stopped.
I find it very silly when people bring up the Thompson loss as if it actually means something today, likewise when it comes to Puritty/Sanders/Brewster on Wlad's record. Both are improved, established fighters now who have put those losses behind them.Comment
