The Tyson Ruddock fights

Ruddock was a very, very good HW before he fought Tyson, whatever chances he had of becoming HW champ got beaten out of him in those fights IMO.

 

agreed - props must be given to razor ruddock also - they were there to bang that night

 

A club fighter will look good fighting another club fighter. Not say they were bums, but Ruddock was TKO'd by David Jaco....

 

:good

 

didnt razor have asthma or something, and was diagnosed AFTER the jaco fight? it was also assumed by doctors that he would never fight again because of that condition. this was BEFORE dokes, smith, and tyson i believe

 

never realized how many times mike went low

 

atsch he hit him with more low blows then GLOTA hit BOWE with . I quess RAZOR had steel nuts .

 

**** off you disrespectful piece of ****. Are you calling Tyson a club fighter? This is another example of the technology blocking natural selection nowadays for **** sakes......

 

The Tyson that fought Rudduck would have Destroyed the Klit brothers.

 

The leather these two were swapping was just insane ..Each punch from both guys just had thuds ..

 

Wlad was tko'd by 24-13-1 Ross Purity...Prime Vitali was tko'd by Chris Byrd...

 

Absolutely, epecially the 2nd fight...Watch the post fight interview, Ruddock looked destroyed mentally...

 

Talk about them shitty club fighters!

 

I watched these fights recently and was surprised how bad Ruddock actually looked. He simply didn't do enough in either fight and allowed Tyson to tee off on him to the head and body and would occasionally fire back with his smash. He didn't use the jab, he didn't know how to tie Tyson up, he was basically a sitting duck for Tyson when he wasn't firing back. The only impressive aspect of his performance was his strength and ability to take punishment. I think Ruddock gets overrated based upon these fights.

Tyson looked good in both fights a much better fighter than the post prison Tyson. Better head movement and a body attack that was quite simply brutal. The body attack he unleashed on Ruddock in the first fight, I think in the second round basically had Ruddock hurt until the 5th or 6th round, it was amazing to see how much damage he did by just going downstairs. Had Tyson gone more to the body in the second fight like he did in the first fight he may have stopped Ruddock.
