I gained respect for Ruiz today!

[RockyB]

I may be alone on this one but..

am i the only one that is sort of impressed with Ruiz today?
i didnt feel he was the usual boring Ruiz we have watched so many times before. he impressed me with his heart, he kept getting up, and never took a step backwards, i didnt expect that from him, especially when he got dropped in the first round.

not saying he made me a fan or anything, i was just more impressed and got a little more respect for him now then i had before.

Haye also gained my respect, i used to just see him as a loudmouth that i didnt really care much for, now i dont know.

thoughts?

[Mr. Fantastic]

You're not. I give Ruiz some props. Not the one I'm so used to seeing.

[o0P4PBOXING0o]

I gained respect for Ruiz too.

Now he needs to retire

[S H O B O X]

ruiz took shots that would have ko'd most heavyweights , i give him a lot of props especially since he's 38 now. He got caught cold in the first round much like the tua fight.

[NChristo]

You're not alone, Ruiz gained my respect as well, the guy came to fight, no dirty tricks and he put on a hella show, props to the Quiet Man

[Shattered Jaw]

Gained a lot of respect for Ruiz. He wanted to fight, didn't back down and didn't ever quit or give up.

Unlike Khan who quit in the first round against Prescott.

Ruiz did more work tonight than Johnson, Chambers did combined against klit brotehrs

[Roger Yomama]

Me too. He showed a lot of heart to keep taking shots like he did and didn't just try to survive to the final bell like Chambers did.
