    A bad beating:Tyson-Ruddock II
    "Ruddock, who exhibited a courage unusual in men who face the former champion,
    was busted up after the fight-his jaw broken, his left eye closed, his knees shaky.
    He had held onto the ropes between rounds, spitting blood onto the floor below.
    The boxer avoided the post-fight news conference and headed straight to Valley
    Hospital, where doctors discovered that the lower part of his jaw was broken."
    By Robert Seltzer
    "A cornerman said the jaw was broken in the fourth, when Ruddock took an
    overhand right to the head that sent his mouthpiece tumbling to the canvas."
    By Seltzer
    Plus Ruddock was down two times.

    Someone started a thread on Harry Arroyo and I thought of his fight with Jimmy Paul. Paul dominated Arroyo when Harry was at his best. He dropped Harry about three times during the contest and Harry was never the same after that 15 round thumping.
