    I found both his bouts with Tyson relatively one sided. Again Rudduck did all he could to land that one punch he had but he was hooking with a faster better shorter left hooker. Never a good idea and he was countered all night in both bouts. He shook Tyson up a few times but Mike won most rounds.

    Rudduck in the end never learned how to fight.
    I would have thought such as well...But there are tapes of Rudock sparring Holmes (for example) and showing remarkable punching, both hands, a great jab, etc. I confess, I could not tell you, or anyone why we see such a contrast. Maybe he got an injury? who knows...not I. Regarding Tyson, thats a good description, I would however say that he did hurt Mike a few times and it looked possible that an upset was brewing. But alas, Mike did win most rounds, including knocking him down a few times.

      It was suprising how many people thought Razor would beat Lewis, by KO. I always remember that fight cause I won a lot of money on it lol. Good post
