Razor Ruddock fights were always exciting to watch. That smash shot was devastating. Tyson ate a lot of great shots from him that would render other fighters to be out cold.
Great corner for Bonecrusher Smith. One Classic remark from that corner was when Joe Frazier asked, "Do you want me to fight him for ya !!" Classic.😂 The shot that put Razor down early was definitely in Bonecrusher's game plan, not a prolonged slugfest. The longer the fight went, the more detrimental it was for the Bonecrusher.
Poor James...he had Ruddock on queer street in round 2 but he rushed the huge Jamaican without throwing effective punches allowing Razor to clinch and clear his head. He threw one straight and lethal right hand about 30 seconds after the knockdown that would have ended it but he missed by a couple of inches. If he had given himself some distance and jabbed before throwing combinations, he would have been much more effective. He shot his bolt in the round and looked tired and vulnerable the rest of the way. The wonderful and frustrating thing about boxing is a fighter's fortunes can be changed by a missed punch. The right hand Bonecrusher threw in round 2 was the turning point. Missed a spectacular victory by inches.
I think the right hand you're talking about was at 1:32 of the round, or 8:22 of the video. Yeah, Razor was already hanging on for dear life and that right had would've probably put him to sleep for a minute.
Completely agree. The power would always be there but the skills he had abandoned would resurface under Steward's guidance. On top of that, Steward works on a fighter's defense and maximizes their ability and minimizes their weaknesses.
Back when fighters actually fought like their nicknames. "Bonecrusher" vs "Razor". It also seemed like anyone named James had a nickname...James "Bonecrusher" Smith...James "Buster" Douglas...James "Quick" Tillis...James "Broad Axe" Broad...James "Lights Out" Toney..."Gentleman" James J. Corbett...James "The Beast" Wilson...
Ruddock was one of the most dangerous heavyweights ive ever seen in the ring, what a pure punching heavyweight machine he was! I sure wouldve loved to have seen him become heavyweight champion!
Great performance by the "Razor"! But the look of embarrassment was evident as "Bonecrusher" knocked him down. Sad how Ruddock's path to being the heavyweight champion was derailed,he certainly would've been one of the most deadliest champions there's ever been! Ruddock had one hell of a punch!!
Ruddock was one dimensional. He’s defense was poor, he barely used his jab to set up his punches and he wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. He had power and that was it.
I agree with Reinaldo Manuel. I have seen him lost to Mike Tyson (two fights) which were the best of his career. In the second fight, Ruddock went to full distance with Mike Tyson. That was the very best of him. But his loss to Tommy Morrison and Lennox Lewis was due mainly to his lack of balance and defence. In this fight, Ruddock suffered his knock down due also to his lack of defence.
Stamina for Smith boiled down to age difference. Smith was 11 years older that Ruddock. Smith looked tired from the early rounds, and Ruddock was just getting warmed up. Age 36 is not old, but it is old for a boxer.
I've been looking for this fight for YEARS. I couldn't remember who it was that knocked down Ruddock, and Ruddock was laughing. I figured it was Jaco, but no. I remember before the Tyson fight Roy Firestone interviewing Razor and asking him why the hell he'd be laughing and he said, "it's better than crying!" lol. Today I was watching Tyson-Razor pre-fight stuff and someone mentioned he had been hurt pretty bad by Bonecrusher, and wa-la, here it is. Thanks!
*(**13:15**) ..This is the exact stance against Bonecrusher, that Ruddock never corrected.. he bends over to the side and leaves himself wide open; which eventually led to him getting K.O.D by Lennox Lewis in their bout in '92!* WHAT WERE THEY THINKING.???.. his trainers should have known better than to ignore such a flagrant lapse in judgement and Ruddock should have sharpened his skill's after this fight. Lennox would take note of this and eventually would later expose Razor's weaknesses and dominate him in spectacular fashion!
Yep, proof Lennox really studied Ruddock's fights and analyzed his weaknesses. Tyson also dropped Ruddock in both fights in same exact fashion. I guess Ruddock never really corrected his mistakes.
Ruddock in this thin athletic weight was potentially a champion When he got so big muscular he got set in his ways throwing haymakers and missing most of the time.
@Nobby Barnes I agree. In his prime, Bonecrusher had decent boxing skills and was a big knockout guy. He just had nothing in the tank for this fight. Ruddock was good, but sloppy. Lennox Lewis proved that.
This is the fight that I pinpoint as the one where Ruddock began to rely on his power and where his boxing skills took a permanent backseat. I figured he would beat Bonecrusher but not by knockout. Bonecrusher had a tendency to masquerade as BoneHUGGER, and that’s what I expected. Smith came to fight, though, and dropped Ruddock early, and I remember thinking, “The Razor is in over his head.” The Razor showed heart, though. He fought back. As listless as he could be, when Bonecrusher was ON, he was one of the more devastating punchers in the heavyweight division (see the fights with Bruno, Weaver and Witherspoon). Considering how early he got decked in the 2nd round, The Razor showed incredible fortitude. Ultimately, his youth and conditioning helped him prevail.
Ruddock after getting some beating in initial rounds gathered himself up and finished the game with his famous left hand which hit like a mule kick as was acknowledged by even Tyson. Two gentle men boxers were a treat to watch.
The crowd started yelling razor razor razor Bonecrusher turned and looked out into the crowd in the middle of the the fight, bwhahahhahaha !!!!!!!....I can't stop laughing 😂 😂
Razor inevitably telegraphed that left upward smash. That got him in significant problems in his two Tyson bouts. So, it’s interesting to see here that he actually used several straight rights to prevail over James “Boneweary” Smith.
Smith could have been better if a little more refined. Got his name "Bonecrusher" because he used to break noses fighting in the army. Prime Smith beats Razor.
@@eljefe797 - Stevecvino I think I tend to agree with you guys.......from what I remember Ruddock only had big power in his right hand.......whereas Tua could really punch from both hands. That in itself would be a big advantage, beside that I think Tua was just on another level..........Still would have been a good war to see. :)
I'm a Tyson fan that became a fan of Razor Ruddock after watching them fight. Razor got knocked down and out a few times but he was always in there swinging out of his ass.
Ruddock TOTALLY let Smith off the hook in rounds 3 & 4. At one point in round 3 Smith is hurt and dazed. Smith looked shot on his stool between 4 & 5. But then Smith gets fired up near the end of round 5. Ruddock was just inexperienced and not a smart fighter.
onde upon of the time of boxning there were boxing fighters who were aware about the boxing very professional and were so professionaly capable and so fast in meanwhile full of stamina with a lot of knowledge about heavyweight title. those gladiators such as M. Ali , J. Freizer , G, Foreman and etcetera
Bone Crusher lacked a really good trainer. It didn''t help that he started into boxing very late... The irony is, that Razor's style seemed similar to BoneCrusher. Awkward hitting style and poor defense (for both).
Bonecrusher Ruddock 1. 10 9 Bonecrusher busier, but not unduly troubling Razor 2. 10 9 Bonecrusher scored a knockdown, but not a 10-8 because Razor hurt him towards the end of the round 3. 9 10 Bonecrusher looking tired, Razor's jab becoming effective. Decent Bonecrusher bodywork. 4. 9 10 Damaging right hand leads from Razor. Bonecrusher possibly has a right eye problem 5. 10 9 Bonecrusher staggered Razor with a right hand 6. 9 10 Razor generally on top with his jab. Dominant in the final seconds 7.

Imagine if Emmanuel Steward had gotten ahold of Ruddock...
Completely agree. The power would always be there but the skills he had abandoned would resurface under Steward's guidance. On top of that, Steward works on a fighter's defense and maximizes their ability and minimizes their weaknesses.
@Rocco Antonio Ruddock had the punchers syndrome. He fell in love with his power.
He was uncoachable. He was to interested in throwing bombs to knock people out. He didn’t understand that a jab would throw the other guy off balance.
He would have been a beast
He’d have fixed that balance, reestablished his jab and added a right hand
These Heavyweights were Monsters!!!! Nonstop action.

Totally true. He had nothing left
At 249 pounds, Bonecrusher came in way too heavy and out of shape. He was just there for the paycheck.
