I never saw the fight, somebody please fill me in with details I cant believe somebody talented as Rahman could loose to a bum.
The score of 115-114 for Ruiz was believable. I don't know where 118-110 or 116-112 (both for Ruiz) came from.
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.
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!
