[Calza appy]

ruiz fought with heart and gave it everything he had. anyone who fights like that definitely gets my respect and props. i really enjoyed the fight!!

i thins the rabbit p. was just accidental and didnt create any damage ... .. anyway Ruiz wasn't 2 times HW champ for nothing

Mad props to Ruiz, he personified the true meaning of a warrior. However, I think it's time for him to retire and just enjoy the fruits of his labor.

[MOTHER DUCKER]

I respectfully disagree. I thought quite a few were intentional. Yes, Ruiz was turning his head, but Haye could have held back on those rabbit punches, or at least quite a few of them.

Haye even admitted he did with one of them, Ruiz is a tough bastard tbh he wasn't upset with them throwing in the towel but he wasn't gonna quit himself at all.

Props to Ruiz he came to win the fight and took some shots and kept coming forward.

Props to ruiz. You're a warrior

ruiz didnt complain and ***** about this rabbit punches like we've seen alot of others have in the super 6.

he just kept coming forward and tried to win the fight.

True, he didn't complain, but after every rabbit punch, he was holding the back of his head cuz it hurt. Props to Ruiz. Haye is awesome, but he overdid it a little. No need.

I agree^^....watching a fighter fight his last few fights struggling is kinda sad. But i was still very impressed with Haye. I just didn't think a few of the rabbit punches were neccesary. I have no complaint at all paying this bet, but in future bets, i'm considering ruling out blatant cheating, or other blatant foul play as I'm losing my ass here.

Gotta give this some careful considerations. Too many stipulations=no bets...lol. I seen one poster that stipulates his conditions and they seem pretty reasonable. Thinking of adopting 1 or more.

John Ruiz has a great chin, great heart.

[Earl-Hickey]

Ruiz can retire now knowing that he gave it his all, he wasn't humiliated, his stock went up and he has achieved respect which is what he wanted, he can now go into broadcasting or training, or whatever he wants to do, at 38 he is still a young man, and has a long 2nd career ahead of him.
