Ruslan got lucky that tape incident happened because Matthysse had momentum in the 11th till that happened if you rewatch it
People were saying the same thing about Chavez Jr and look what happened. Roach is actually a really good trainer.
Ruslan almost has a heavyweight sized head with a very thick short neck. I remember reading excepts from Henry Armstrong's autobiography years ago where he said there was a Mexican guy he fought (Baby Arizmendi) who had a massive ''heavyweight sized head'' and was a tough as nails. He said he couldn't ever stop him despite having five cracks and 52 rounds of trying to do so.
Yea i seen that as well ruslans head is massive and has a very thick short neck the guy's chin is amazing When lucas is teeing of on you with huge shots and you never even get wobbled? forget about knocked down at least get wobbled SOB lets put in perspective garcia who has a very good chin after he got caught by lucas he got hurt even grabbed many times and he NEVER walked him down imagine if he did with ruslan he never took a step back and kept coming forward eating hard shots
Ruslan has the best chin in the game I'll give him that he easily took double what Garcia did and still didn't flinch lol Psssh.. He was prob hurt but I couldn't really tell
garcia never even took half he took less and he was hurt every time lucas touched garcia you can see in garcis face he was worried he never walked lucas down full on
Ruslan's chin is amazing. Like you say, I don't even recall seeing him get wobbled. He just kept coming, walking through fire undeterred.
Garcia's chin is rubbish compared to ruslans Garcia probably took 3 or 4 shots from lucas and got wobbled with one or 2 every shot that hit him not flush had a effect
lol He held a lot too and threw about 300 b*llock punches, which are meant to sap your opponent's power. :deal
Yep around the middle of the fight he nodded at Matthysse and he stopped coming forward a little, he wasn't hurt terribly but definitely a little hurt. But he has a great chin and toughness no doubt about it
