I never saw the fight, somebody please fill me in with details I cant believe somebody talented as Rahman could loose to a bum.

A lot more talented cats than "Two Heads" have lost to Ruiz.
He gets a lot of leeway from refs but the boy has beat some good fighters.

I watched it live. Ruiz used his usual tatics and was able to hug and grab his way to victory. Rahman couldn`t work on the outside due to Ruiz smothering him. Good tatics though, it won Ruiz the dec!
Could have gone either way really!

It was a close fight, but Ruiz clearly won it. Rahman only had one really good moment when he almost KOed Ruiz in the 12th with a right hand. There was like 30 seconds left in the fight at that point.

thanks for filling me in, was Rahman in shape for that fight?

A hellishly long and boring fight. I seriously pray to sh*t that they never fu*king ever square off against each other again.

no, i don't believe he was. he fought very lackadaisically

In fact I think I remember it completely ruining the jam-packed PPV that it was on.

That's saying a lot as Mayorga losing to Spinks was a pretty tough sh*t sandwich to follow.

Rahman looked like sh*t. As far as the shape that he was in? I cant remember. I think he looked OK, but then I didn't pay attention, my attention for Rahman began and ended with the Lennox Lewis double bill.

How can you say that? Rahman's whole career is a roller coaster ride anyone should respect

thanks for filling me in, was Rahman in shape for that fight?No he was not, but neither was Ruiz. Later brother brolog.

The score of 115-114 for Ruiz was believable. I don't know where 118-110 or 116-112 (both for Ruiz) came from.
