Solis for Vitali, very brutal shot Solis had to go to the hospital for a triple double digit concussion.
Ali wouldn't have lasted 5 rounds against Solis, that's for sure

Wlad is normally very relaxed so his 5th round is actually the first because he plays a lot.
But in reality Wlad won the Corrie fight, there were some headbutts going on right before Wlad went down, certainly a DQ win for Wlad.

Vitali also beat a near prime Lewis.

Pofatkin is a top 10 ATG already for sure.

You thought I was serious?

It was a good fight, and one of Tyson's better efforts. I remember Tyson gave Ruddock a free shot on his chin! But Ruddock wasn't among the top ten of the decade in the 1990's.

As for Tyson's chin, he was visibly wobbled by Bruno, and Counted out vs Douglas. Ruddock was game, but he didn't land enough to test Tyson's whiskers throughout the course of the fight.

Love the Tyson-Ruddock fights. Even though Tysons skills had eroded I believe it made him more of an exiting fighter in a way. These fights definitely showcased mike's concrete jaw, heart and fighting spirit. It also took balls to fight Ruddock he stepped up fought him twice at that time Ruddock was the most feared man in the division (other than TYSON) great fights I also liked Richie Giachetti as his trainer he wasn't afraid to get serious with Tyson and tell him when he was doing wrong. He yells at him in the corner and even smacked him a few times if I'm not mistaken he always got Mike in super great condition as well

Damn. Tyson-Ruddock I is old enough to drink, plus one. I prefer this fight over the rematch. It was explosive and both guys came to fuck each other up. Tyson showed a granite chin and Ruddock showed some heart. Richard Steele lets it go a few seconds further and Holyfield-Tyson is set for June 28th instead.
