Where are they now? Razor Ruddock

Great post, thanks for all the details.
Cool to know that is because of you that there are several fights of Razor on YouTube.

 

He’s 215 lbs here !!! Larry was training for spinks rematch and ruddock hadn’t even fought Mike weaver at this point !!! So around 215 lbs here

 

The razor ruddock v bradham fight camcorder recording on ruddocks Chanel I got from a guy named Brian nix - he recorded it and sent it to me …. I phoned the casino looking for ruddocks fight against Mike sedillo in 99 !!! It was recorded for the people inside the casino but nobody knows were the vhs tape is… my friend recorded the ribalta fight it’s on you tube ( Bob Newman recorded it ) and ruddocks fight with Anthony Willis is on YouTube also and Bob Newman recorded that also … he recorded a long interview with Donovan in the dressing room after the fight : / but I don’t think it’s up on YouTube ( I think the dressing room interview is missing on the YouTube copy. ) ruddocks first fight back after loosing to Morrison was 3 yrs later another long layoff against Brian Yates / I don’t think anybody recorded it but I know ruddock came in at 239 lbs .,, … I know ruddock was supposed to fight Ray anis on showtime under d king in 1994 and pulled out !!!! I know ruddock was supposed to fight on the Tommy Morrison v terry Anderson card to build it up a bit more for the Morrison/ ruddock bout (for may 1995 ) but ruddock pulled out with a tooth ache !!! No idea who the opponent was supposed to be !!!

 

what he does defensively is the easy tell. Early on in the footage, he does a mummy arm block while skipping back. unless someone stuck springs in a young George Foreman’s shoes, that’s Holmes.

and the left arm irregularly swinging prior to jabbing is another easy tell.

 

It’s definetly Larry Holmes … cause u can see Holmes brother at the beginning .., and that’s 100 percent ruddock cause u can see chuvalo there who managed / trained ruddock early on !!!!!

 

they’re both in such sorry condition there. Jeez.

No ifea why didn’t post this suff on ruddocks Chanel

 

Bring 6o yrs old will do dat

 

Did Ruddock ever told you who was the hardest puncher he faced ?

 

Ruddock said Mike Tyson hit harder than Lewis( but Lewis caught him on the temple and he just couldn’t get his equilibrium back !!! He said Lewis shocked him … but punch for punch he said Tyson hits harder
Francois Botha told me Tyson hit so much harder then Lewis and he was completely shot at that point

ruddock 91 v holy 91?
Ruddock 91 foreman 91 ?

let’s say ruddock never fought Tyson and fought holy in 91 and foreman in 91 how does it go ????

 

Not good.
After Dokes he stopped setting up his shots and looked for that big left. He left himself off balance quite often. Razor was an outstanding athlete so he was able to make some fights completive. Not at the highest level though.
Holyfield maybe late stoppage or decision. Ruddock would land a few big shots maybe get Holyfield attention.

Foreman would really hurt Razor unless he boxed. He wasn't boxing at that point. Greg Page was putting it on him before getting clippled.

 

Ok thanks. Did he mentionned James Smith's power ?

 

That's indeed a rare sight!

 

Man, that is so cool. Thanks!
