Bull**** stoppage, in a fight Rahman was clearly winning, this fight reeked of a unsatisfactory and unacceptable ending:-( Rahman was robbed in the rematch also, pisses be off how Tua got the benefit of the long doubt in both fights.. I was glad when Lennox shut Tua out in their fight and just dominated him...
Whatever you think it is crucial, because this is Tua’s best win by a country mile. Pretty much his claim to belong in the same ring as Lewis.
Tua would punch and take a punch but his skill was limited. If slow plodding Hasim Rahman could out box him then anybody could.
Horrible stoppage and horrible job by rahmans corner at end of previous round. They should of been screaming for more time and/or a point deduction because that was well after bell. Tua had elite power and great chin but man was he slow of foot and easy to hit
Shite stoppage, absolute garbage. Rahman was about 3 or 4 rounds up, ref must have been on the payroll.
Rahman got ripped off. He should have won by DQ, or been given a lengthy recovery period before resuming the fight. Other options, maybe, were going to the scorecards for a technical decision or calling the fight a no-contest.
