Haye should have been disqualified for the many rabbit punches

[edgarg]

The referee was from Panama.

I live in Panama now, and I expect I'll bump into the ref sooner or later, when I shall have the pleasure of telling him, in the most flowery and elaborate language, exactly what I think of his Haye-Ruiz ref job.

He won't like it.

[Kulle]

He would have been DQ'd if the fight was anywhere else than UK. That is the truth.

he got a point taken off which was fair enough.

Boxing needs stricter refereeing. Lots of dirty fighters who wouldn't make it as far as they have now weren't it for hometown referees.

Concerning Haye well at least he had a point taken away, but there should have been at least one more deduction and at the same time the referee should have said that a DQ was next.

Haye was pushing his luck. The second knockdown was borderline Disqualification IMO. Ruiz had his back turned into the ropes, the ref comes end whilst Haye loads a right hand and plows it into the back of Ruiz's head.

Yes the ref took a point, but it was one of the worst rabbit punches i've seen in a long while.

Mate he turned his back to the ropes when haye was going for the kill, ruiz asked for it he should have held on or ducked down but when he turned his head it would have been very hard for haye to stop, i think that one can be excused, but you just take it too far its not even close to being one of the worst rabbit punches, honestly i think if the ref hadn't ******ly given a knockdown already he would have just warned him, and the second would have been a point, which i think would have been fair.

Haye landed solid shots, Ruiz was gonna be KD, so he turned his head or his back and Haye, going for the kill, hit what was in front of him. Ruiz was just looking for a way out.

The only real deliberate rabbit punch was the one he got a point deducted for.

Haye won.........get over it.

[UND]

Ruiz was turning away to try to play act a bit, end of the day if your in full punch and someone turns there head towards you, how the hell do you stop that?

The first one was a deffo rabbit punch, even haye admited it at the end of the fight, just haters bad mouthing best HW fight in ages.

Listen to all the excuses. He got a deduction and Ruiz turned away so he should have protected himself.

Also i'd like to point out Ruiz was gracious in defeat and didn't seem to complain about any rabbit punching.
