    i always wondered about that fight. david jaco im guessing was a fighter to pad prospedts like morrison and tyson but it looks like jaco did pretty good against ruddock.

    what happened?

    the word after the fight was that Rudduck had an asthma attack. Jaco is a funny guy. He owns a limo company or something and his sons tried their hands at boxing.

    When asked who hit him the hardest he said Rudduck. Not Tyson? He stated he did not feel Tyson's punches because when he came to, he was at a bar with his friends wondering how he got there and what happened in the fight.

    I have seen clips of that fight, Jaco was very active and Ruddock was doing a lot of chasing around. Ruddock ran clear out of gas, exhausted almost..

    It was years ago in Halifax NS i think.. I had it on a tape , if i can get it i will put it on you tube if you like...

    I helped train Mike for a few of his later career fights when he was based in Las Vegas, TYrone Boone was the head coach at Toccos gym and Tyrone was Mikes full time trainer.. I loved Mike he was a strange man stylewise and boxed with a swagger, he threw his jab from the hip and was very illusive fora large man.. I remember helping out in the gym when he was geting ready to fight Tyrell Biggs .. Mike sparred with Mike Dokes and James Broad, I miss him, he was ahead of his time really , his son is an awesome amateur and is the 2008 representative at the Olympiad.. (Super heavyweight) I remember Mike training in the gym wearing just a cup.. he had everyone falling around laughing, he actually kept a straight face while hitting the speed bag in front of a full gym.. We all miss him..
