The fight was a rematch of their infamous December 1998 encounter in Miami, in which Rahman controlled the bout for almost nine full rounds before getting dropped clearly after the bell. The referee never gave Rahman proper time to recover and Tua hammered away at Rahman in the 10th, until the contest was eventually stopped and the muscular Samoan was awarded the TKO win.
"It's the same old stuff, I can't beat this David Tua," a disgusted Rahman after the decision was announced. "I beat him twice and I don't have a win on my record. I'm speechless."
