100% agree with Mike, it wasn't his call to make. Watching that replay I also agree with the ref. He was unable to defend himself and had he not stepped in... Well it looked like Mike would have had a very clean shot to the head. That stoppage might have prevented a concussion.

@@voidremoved he definitely felt it, right after he talks in the post fight interview it looks like he looks down and is about tear up, but honestly who wouldn’t? I would’ve stayed on the ground after one punch from Tyson lmao
Dude a broken jaw hurts so bad. I can't imagine getting punched in it. And by Tyson for Lord's sake I had a basketball hit my broken jaw after a boxing match that went bad... But we had a really important game so I didn't really say anything. (Pun intended).. But the ball hit me not even that hard and I literally just collapsed in the high school gymnasium in front of nearly 1,000 people crying like a bitch. Had my first boxer's fracture when I was in 8th grade, (that's the technical name for a particular break in the arm and wrist) i had all kinds of broken bones and that jaw is some painful shit. Not kidney stone painful... But it's up there with orbital socket or collarbone
If my recollection serves me well Mike Tyson in his six losses (except on his first loss) was never knocked down literally but was pushed to the ground.
If you ask me Ruddock was the best. But he never recovered from that second fight with Tyson. In a lot of ways neither did Tyson. These guys threw massive f-ing bombs round after round. Tyson said Rudduck broke his rib in the second fight, not from hitting his rib, but from hitting his jaw.
@Zim Zom Lol Lennox is a great but he fought Tyson in like 2003. 🤣🤣🤣 had he could Tyson in the 80s you wouldn’t be saying this. Lol and you calling Tyson a bum I guarantee Tyson today would put you sleep with just a slap. Don’t talk shit about Tyson losing to Lennox. Buddy dodged him 🤡🤡
Mike had a survival mindset. His life would have ended early as a kid on the streets. But he didn't settle for that. He turned his rage, and pain into something remarkable. And of course he had an amazing coach. One thing that made him so dangerous, was the fact that he watched all the best fights in history. And took all the best styles and made his own. He was a true martial artist.
@luis banzon obviously looking back it’s easy to judge. Their point was that ‘the defense mechanism was an adaptation at that time.’ Of course now we judge the man for his impulsitivity, and he seems to know he has behavior problems, plans to be in therapy for it etc, but I get what OP was saying: his defense mechanisms were needed , while most others aren’t born in lethal ghettos, they live well but develop defense mechanisms out of insecurity or fear of feelings
I remember Tyson said he was scared to go for the head on his opponents cause he didn't want to kill anyone. So to have Tyson say you hit like a mule kicks is mad respect.
@@Djuane Tyson is a raw genius at movement and counterpunches. If it wasn't for that Ruddock would have definitely hurt him because Ruddock threw sledgehammers.
Except that statement is more like a declaration of a killer mindset. As far as I know he didn’t kill anyone despite saying this often apparently. Its not tough talk or fare banter. Its worse more like state of delusion. The guy was clearly talented. I can see why he was liked. Unless I am mistaken he also is the guy who basically ripped a guys ear of with his teeth. So that lends to the poor mindset.
@@PerceptionVsReality333 That's designed to lower your guard - he don't want to scare you away with a deep voice before he sends your mind to oblivion.

It was like a switch he would flip before a fight where his only concern was winning the fight. Like a violent trance. Tragically, he said the Cus died before he could teach him how to turn it off on his own. He said that might have contributed to him getting into so much trouble.
So true. My dad and grandpa were so into boxing that we got cable so we could see the under fights in 84. It wasn't much longer that Tyson was on ESPN seemingly twice a month. Every time we saw him he looked scarier but he would always show respect to the opponent and the ref.
Or a stupid one lol stupid people say stuff like that all the time lmao. But all honesty hes humble and pretty respectful so its not all that uncommon for him to say such things
At 7:30, wow, Tyson impressed me with his discussion about the referees call. Actually one of the most intelligent discussions about a ref's call I have ever heard from a sports figure.
Mad respect tho for Razor stepping in to the ring twice against Tyson. Plus the fact that he continued the fight with a jaw fracture showed his bravery and determination even.more.
Razor ruddock is a badass fighting with a broken jaw and as you said getting into the ring twice with Mike. What a warrior razor ruddock. Glad to have gotten to see your punching power.
Ruddock was on of the kindest gentleman I ever met. I was in high school and I boxed at Golden Gloves gym in Las Vegas, NV. I arrive at school one day and recognize a team of men on the track and football field. One was Ruddock's manager who's name I fail to recall. Ruddock was suppose to show for wind sprints and other running. His manager and team talked to me for 20 minutes about boxing and my love for the sport. He told me to be there same time the next day to meet Ruddock because now they knew he was not coming. The next day I was there and Ruddock no shows again and I go to class but not before Ruddock's manager got my name before I left. 30 minutes later the Principal comes to my first period class and asks for me. He walks me to the football field where I met Mr. Ruddock and his team. They sent for me. Amazing day. For 30 minutes he talked to me about his game plan to fight Mike. He gave me a Leather Coat that had his image in colorful leather throwing the smash punch that said Team Ruddock across the rear shoulder area. He then had me out to his sparring sessions to watch him train. This was a Large powerful man. Tyson was my size and Ruddock dwarfed me. I was lucky enough to have tickets to their rematch. Anyways, that is what happened and how I met Ruddock. Good guy.

@@helpfuleditscomedy6138 Tyson might have hurt him bad. He was out on his feet and couldn't defend himself, couple that with possibly the meanest punch in boxing and it's a dangerous situation.
@@BigKeithDog I agree. I think the boxer was done. It's the ref's job to stop a fight when someone is on the verge of being severely hurt or killed. It's always a disappointment when a fight is stopped, but it beats seeing a guy having his career ended or someone lying dead on the mat. It looked like the right call to me.
Yeah i agree...shows the respect an intelligence that mike dont get alot of credit for, love the way he says that,can see it being written in a "this man said" quote in a film or documentary.
Respect to Ruddock for hanging in like that with a broken jaw, you could clearly see it in the post fight interview, he could barely talk, that’s a lot of heart right there!
I think these two genuinely enjoyed fighting eachother for sport as they saw an equal challenge, what a great fight from two incredible athletes. Actually two great fights!
Tyson didn’t just end hopes and dreams with one punch, he ended self esteem, confidence, understanding, brain cell regeneration, post nasal drip, eye sight function, sense of smell and taste, mobility, ability to function in society, and a lot more. He was not normal.
I cannot imagine getting your jaw broken from a punch, and the pain that must entail, but the fact that he managed to keep fighting 9 ROUNDS, whilst continually being hit with a broken jaw is beyond me. He must've been in excruciating pain constantly. I have nothing but respect to all boxers, because only one of the punches they take and give 100s of times during a fight would be enough to break my ribcage and fracture my skull.
Mickael Cohen actually not hiding but killing the ego, there is a difference and mike had respect regardless of what you think, he has way more respect then many others in the fighting Industry and he took this like a champ! not even a sore loser
Stronk Tomato I agree. However a shorter fighter is at an advantage and disadvantage when they close the distance. Even though they can fight on the inside the opponent can try and put their body weight on them. Take Tyson Fury for example. In his second fight with deontay wilder he took every chance he got to put his weight on him.
Mike handled that well “I think it was early stoppage but I can’t say cause I’m not his peer” smartest thing a fighter can do is understand he isn’t a ref.
There are three types of boxer, the fighter, the boxer and the showman, the Fighters were people like Mike Tyson and Razor Ruddock, they relied on power more than anything else The Boxers were people like Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield, they were the finesse experts, they had the power but they wore their opponents down with perfect boxing first. The Showmen were Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali, they were so good they had the ability to psych out their opponent before they got in the ring.
Tyson was so much different before the drugs n knockouts... Thoughtful, a good sportsman, respect for his opponent, a good winner You can really see those traits of his good character really erode as his career moved on into the 90s When king got to him, the devolution was complete
I remember watching these fights. Two great fighters going toe to toe. I get queasy thinking of the pain Ruddick must have been in fighting on with a broken jaw. Amazing fighters, great video showing some great boxing history.
@@MrNerdSmasher Tyson had a lot of respect for Ruddock. I remember after one of their fights, he said to the reporter: "That guy hits like a mule kick!"
Man, I have a lot of love for Mike. He seems like a most respectful man. The kind of man that treats people how they treat him. Much respect for Mike. Every time he speaks I smile, laugh or shake my head in agreement lol
I love how I can remove any nouns in your sentence and it's still the same: He fought with a fractured jaw against Tyson..? Crazy He fought 9 rounds against Tyson..? Crazy He Fought 9 rounds with a fractured jaw..? Crazy
Brantson W you’re right on the money wen u say they were exciting times. I don’t dig how there is so many “world champions” still but that’s $ & greed for ya.
Yeah it definitely was just a hairline fracture. When my buddy got blind sided by a 300 lb samoin and broke his jaw in two it was hanging there with blood pouring out and he couldn't pronounce anything and had to have it wired shut for weeks. Just saying...its a little different
@Marty Kane I wonder if any of the smaller dudes did speed before fights lol. Even though its probably do more harm than good. I bet it'll make the chin stronger
Well, to be fair. That wasn't really a gracious statement by Mike, it was a statement defending the ref that made the controversial decision to give Mike the win.
@@CallMeWoodstock Most likely, but my statement is still true. Mike acting like he isn't one to question a ref's decision and it should be respected shouldn't stand out as some gracious sportsmanlike attitude, but primarily because it was a decision that gave him the win. He almost certainly would have still won, but in any case, the ref still ended it just a little early.
And it's a shame. I guess when you fight the best and you lose, it's like climbing the highest mountain. After that, there's really nothing left to do. So you kinda lose motivation because you know your limit and know you'll get passed that to achieve your goal. He wanted the title, Tyson was in the way and he knew could never beat him.
@@teddybruscie people often like to say Tyson beat nobodies well I would like to see them lacing up their gloves and going to the ring themselves and face these nobodies on their own
@@theinformationbomber7102 And they say that about most fighters. Ironically many of the people they like after getting the title almost exclusively fights people they know they can beat. So even if that's true that's true for 90% of champions. Lol
Ruddock was so shocked at the blows Tyson could take. And give. You can tell it was a new experience for him. He was amazing though, for real. The pain of your jaw breaking and then knowing that Mike Tyson was going to punch you in that broken jaw over and over???? He's both nuts and crazy strong.
Tyson's name alone made boxing in the 90's. And then when you actually see his fights...Those days are absolutely missed! He was boxing in the 90's & we were all blessed back then with how great boxing was then. It was our modern day UFC. (But better)!!

Joshua Cabrera this video made me proud to recant my doubts of Tysons ability to speak intelligently, respect that man for fighting a TALLER Version of himself & crushing him
You are his peer .
@@helpfuleditscomedy6138 Tyson might have hurt him bad. He was out on his feet and couldn't defend himself, couple that with possibly the meanest punch in boxing and it's a dangerous situation.
@@BigKeithDog I agree. I think the boxer was done. It's the ref's job to stop a fight when someone is on the verge of being severely hurt or killed. It's always a disappointment when a fight is stopped, but it beats seeing a guy having his career ended or someone lying dead on the mat. It looked like the right call to me.
7:18 I like the way he pays his respects to the referee. "I can't judge him because I'm not his peer."
Emre Very Much That post fight interview speaks to Mike’s character and intelligence.
Yeah i agree...shows the respect an intelligence that mike dont get alot of credit for, love the way he says that,can see it being written in a "this man said" quote in a film or documentary.
Fuckin' class from Tyson.
Yup class sportsman that he did not disagree it was an early stoppage
And that's for all the keyboard warriors with so much criticism but never laced up a pair of gloves. Peers judge not bystanders
The amount of respect shown by these two warriors is admirable. I respect them both.
“I can’t judge because I’m not his peer” is a very enlightened way of thinking
Had a broken jaw and still taking Tyson’s hit? Guys a tank. 😂

Tyson’s respect for the referee is a class act.
99% of boxers could never remember a refs name
I was about to say the same thing!
Because he won. If the tables were turned, tyson would've turned on the ref, like he did for Douglas.
He nearly knocked him out lol

Respect to Ruddock for hanging in like that with a broken jaw, you could clearly see it in the post fight interview, he could barely talk, that’s a lot of heart right there!
I think these two genuinely enjoyed fighting eachother for sport as they saw an equal challenge, what a great fight from two incredible athletes. Actually two great fights!

Tyson didn’t just end hopes and dreams with one punch, he ended self esteem, confidence, understanding, brain cell regeneration, post nasal drip, eye sight function, sense of smell and taste, mobility, ability to function in society, and a lot more. He was not normal.
Don’t forget hearing loss 😂👂

That's what keeps me going . Competition
But then you keep training just in case he start slacking....
Israel Adesanya just showed there's always hope
I cannot imagine getting your jaw broken from a punch, and the pain that must entail, but the fact that he managed to keep fighting 9 ROUNDS, whilst continually being hit with a broken jaw is beyond me. He must've been in excruciating pain constantly. I have nothing but respect to all boxers, because only one of the punches they take and give 100s of times during a fight would be enough to break my ribcage and fracture my skull.

"Hit like a mule kick" that is the most respectful thing Mike gave to his opponent
Correction: "He hit like a fucking mule kick!"
ROOKTABULA correction “hits”*
Mike has always been respectful post fight.
Moth rethpectful thing Mike gave
quertbarbie62 no
When Tyson said “who am I to make judgement, I am not his peer” wise man, not stupid
Mike always had that about him. Depends what day you got him on. Sometimes he was down right nasty, But we love him for it nonetheless.
Just a way to hide his ego comon we know better
Mickael Cohen actually not hiding but killing the ego, there is a difference and mike had respect regardless of what you think, he has way more respect then many others in the fighting Industry and he took this like a champ! not even a sore loser
Tyson has always been very articulate
Indeed. Very well spoken 🤙
I think these two men might be the most dangerous to be put in a ring against, just the shear power and the ability to pull out a knockout so quickly
"I cant judge him because I'm not his peer"
Tyson is an awesome dude
Tyson was fighting guys taller than him with longer reach and knocking them out with *BODY SHOTS*
Legendary
Wouldn't being short have its own advantages in boxing?
@@akivaabraham7739 no actually.. Infighter have to get in while people with reach can keep you at a distance.. they needa close the gap
MikeEnIke007 Right. All of Mike Tysons opponents were taller and bigger than him and he still found a way to beat the majority of them.
Stronk Tomato I agree. However a shorter fighter is at an advantage and disadvantage when they close the distance. Even though they can fight on the inside the opponent can try and put their body weight on them. Take Tyson Fury for example. In his second fight with deontay wilder he took every chance he got to put his weight on him.
Peekaboo
Anyone who took Tyson on in his prime deserves to be called a champ
They didn’t call him the Dynamite Kid for nothing. Tyson was a machine.
FACTS BRO👍
The Ruddock fights didn't occur during Tyson's prime. Try again.
Does Mike have two heads?
Agreed
Mike handled that well “I think it was early stoppage but I can’t say cause I’m not his peer” smartest thing a fighter can do is understand he isn’t a ref.
Bless these two men for being good sports 💯
"the problem whit today boxing is that back in my day we were killers who happen to box, now they are bussines men who happen to box" Mike Tyson
100% accurate
There are three types of boxer, the fighter, the boxer and the showman, the Fighters were people like Mike Tyson and Razor Ruddock, they relied on power more than anything else
The Boxers were people like Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield, they were the finesse experts, they had the power but they wore their opponents down with perfect boxing first.
The Showmen were Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali, they were so good they had the ability to psych out their opponent before they got in the ring.
You have literally hit the nail on the head
elmaxidelsur say it again
There all still a few killers in combat sports. especially in MMA
"I can't judge him because I'm not his peer". Man I like that.
yeah a rare lucid comment from Mike
Tyson was so much different before the drugs n knockouts...
Thoughtful, a good sportsman, respect for his opponent, a good winner
You can really see those traits of his good character really erode as his career moved on into the 90s

Losing to Tyson on points was a rare honor.
True
Ruddock paid the price for forcing that points victory though, the damage he took from Tyson seem to mark his decline.
@@MrNerdSmasher Tyson had a lot of respect for Ruddock. I remember after one of their fights, he said to the reporter: "That guy hits like a mule kick!"
And standing toe to toe with Mike while dealing with a busted jaw. What a beast! Wish his career had gone better for him, he deserved better.
Losing on points was the stuff of legends....Lasting till round 2 was an achievement...😂😂
Man, I have a lot of love for Mike. He seems like a most respectful man. The kind of man that treats people how they treat him.
Much respect for Mike. Every time he speaks I smile, laugh or shake my head in agreement lol
I remember these fights. Surely the hardest puncher Tyson ever faced. Not the greatest defensive fighter, perhaps, but lots of power.
He fought 9 rounds with a fracture jaw against Tyson ..?

If you have a broken jaw and keep taking shot after shot from Mike Tyson, then you're one tough SOB...
Agree
@Mai brain So smol yes, I have seen a broken jaw, medically if you have a fracture that is a broken bone. Dumbass.
Mai brain So smol someone’s had a bad day take a chill pill damn😂😂
Yeah it definitely was just a hairline fracture. When my buddy got blind sided by a 300 lb samoin and broke his jaw in two it was hanging there with blood pouring out and he couldn't pronounce anything and had to have it wired shut for weeks. Just saying...its a little different
Mai brain So smol stfu clown 🤦🏻♂️🤡
Just imagine the pain tolerance of Ruddock's when taking those punches to the jaw after it's fractured...these guys are true warriors.
And from non other that MIKE TYSON! That man really had a jaw... even his broken jaw kept him standing up. Respect!
@Marty Kane I wonder if any of the smaller dudes did speed before fights lol. Even though its probably do more harm than good. I bet it'll make the chin stronger
@Marty Kane Ruddick was geared up to the gills definitely.
A
They used Clenbuterol not speed.
I would say he is one of the most underrated major boxers. I'm sure there are even beasts we've never even heard of out there
Tyson is always so respectful in the post fight interview
"I can't judge him because I'm not his peer."
Where has this mindset gone today.
It hasn't gone anywhere. Maybe you should watch hotboxing with tyson. Dude has actually grown mentally over the years
Like Deontay Wilder? Tyson of his age could have mentored Mr. Wilder.
Well, to be fair. That wasn't really a gracious statement by Mike, it was a statement defending the ref that made the controversial decision to give Mike the win.
@@jeffapellido1959 what youre saying makes no sense because mike knew he would have won anyways he needed 1 more move to completely finish it
@@CallMeWoodstock Most likely, but my statement is still true. Mike acting like he isn't one to question a ref's decision and it should be respected shouldn't stand out as some gracious sportsmanlike attitude, but primarily because it was a decision that gave him the win. He almost certainly would have still won, but in any case, the ref still ended it just a little early.
Mike said of the referee, “I cannot judge him, for I am not his peer”. Pretty cool statement
The spirit Of 76 stolen comment
"Lennox, I'm coming for you!"
Wise words
Lol very p.c.
Said it a little less biblically but yeah

Tyson is such a beast. One of the best to ever do it. Plain and simple. Much respect to Ruddock as well.
Bruh . He smiles . Bec he finally found someone that knocked him down
Yep and he knew he has a chance to knock Tyson down just never connected it all together . Mike is on another level also
Then Lennox Lewis happened
IG @theaccessfoundation
Tyson ended lots of boxers' hopes and dreams and it was fun watching it.
And it's a shame. I guess when you fight the best and you lose, it's like climbing the highest mountain. After that, there's really nothing left to do. So you kinda lose motivation because you know your limit and know you'll get passed that to achieve your goal. He wanted the title, Tyson was in the way and he knew could never beat him.
@@teddybruscie people often like to say Tyson beat nobodies well I would like to see them lacing up their gloves and going to the ring themselves and face these nobodies on their own
