I gained respect for Ruiz today!

[Earl-Hickey]

I gained a lot of respect for him too, he took a beat but kept going, gotta respect that.

[Arsekicker]

Ruiz seems to have left his old style behind a while ago. Lately he has been going all out to win. Sometimes he wins, sometimes not, but thats how you gain fans. He has the respect of Puerto Rico finally.

Ruiz is tough as nails, the guy did not back up, great display of heart, now is a great time to hand the gloves with a lot of pride.

I believe that even Haye was surprised that he kept pushing forward.

[RockyB]

I gained alot of respect for Ruiz, kinda used to hate the guy.

But he put up a valiant performance.

Ruiz, hang up your gloves now with pride.

Respect.

exactly my thoughts, couldnt stand him before.

ruiz stood in front of haye. None of the clinching that was feared he would do to survive the fight. He could still continue though, except his corner threw in the towel.

[jameshepenstall]

i agree, i always thought he was super boring to watch and it was going to be a boring fight but the way he kept coming forward and hitting Haye with some good shots was admirable.

[Junito-Rulez]

Ruiz is a better fighter than Christina Arreola.

[915]

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.

[Einstien]

He gets my respect..was never a big fan of his but he is what a fighter should be when it comes to heart. Haye did what he was supposed to do and did.

[paulsinghnl]

much props to Ruiz about him pressin the issue throughout the fight, took some hard shots and kept coming. i still think he got knocked down due to rabbit punches but ok.. Haye boxed well, he deserved the win.
