[@twoheadeddatascientist3289]

It's a shame that Ruddock's management got rid of George Chuvalo as his trainer. Chuvalo knew how to fight, and more importantly knew how to prepare for a fight. Chuvalo believed that boxing should be approached as a contact sport, like American football; you prepare to inflict pain but to also incur pain. Getting rid of that brain, especially after the Michael Dokes fight, was stupid.

[@bosshogg659]

Absolutely! Patterson tried to incorporate a more conventional boxing style in him. Made him think to much about what he was doing instead of doing what was more natural to him.

[@RoyalbubbaOG]

One of the sickest left hooks ever. Unforgettable

[@Johnacegaynor]

Its an uppercut

[@Strazion]

Its literally both 😅 its like a long range shovel hook​@@Johnacegaynor

[@Heavyweight-kh8ss]

Always amazed me to see a fighter throw a strange/different punch, or be able to fire that shot from a weird angle that defies logic. How Ruddock was able to put so much power into that half hook half uppercut is absolutely insane. It's his lead hand, which makes it more impressive. He's not winding up to throw it either, he's firing that punch like a jab, he doesn't telegraph it at all.

[@TurnbuckleTalkBoxing]

Right! He fires it like a piston!

[@hanzagod]

Thought I'd drop a Ruddock highlight before going back to my favourite boxers video, it should be uploaded by Friday. The smash! Devastating punch.

[@factsandnothingelse3903]

I saw the first fight with Mike Tyson, and man this guy had a heart of a warrior truly a gifted power puncher that could hurt you with that deadly uppercut he possess, and in the second fight with Mike Tyson truly showed what he was made of showing that true warrior like Arturo Gatti getting up from the knockdowns from a beast like Mike Tyson, and he really hurted Mike tyson in different parts of the fight, even Mike's mouthpiece fell of his mouth from that deadly uppercut, truly this guy could have been a champion going to the distance with a broken jaw against a beast like Mike Tyson in his prime this guy truly earned my most serious admiration, and respect a true fan of his from a mexican fan. To my Jamaican and Canadian Hermanos 🇲🇽🙏🔥🇯🇲🇨🇦🤝

Razor Ruddock and Mike Tyson's first fight might just be one of the greatest heavyweight boxing matches I have ever whitensed. The amount of power they both put behind their punches and the fact they both were able to handle that kind of power was amazing. Carnage pure carnage is exactly what that fight was. Shit was like some Gatti vs Ward type shit but at heavyweight, they are both extremely lucky no one got seriously hurt. True warriors, both of them.

[@mickmorrison]

Such a sweet mover, his second fight with Mike Tyson was one of the best ever.

[@theman5614]

He is a fantastic boxer. This guy if he was born in another era like the current, I'm almost certain he be world champion. Fast, big puncher, good skills with the awkward technique Smash and very good durability. He is trouble to anyone after all there aren't that many who could get to the 7th round with Mike (anyone watches could also say it seems premature the stoppage as it seems he was good to continue) and then in the 2nd fight being able to go the distance and he wasn't a punching bag, he actually a formidable opponent giving Mike trouble! The more I think about the more I believe he would have dominated if he was in this era. It's a shame really because he was champion boxer level but of course the other's like Mike and Lennox are better and were dominating the division. I know he got KO by Lennox in 2 rounds but I think he lost a lot of his durability post Mike's fight. No's going to come out completely fine after the two gruelling fight he went with. Then you got Tommy Morrison who was dominating and pretty much just bulldozed through everyone, Donnovan had over a year break, comes without any warm up fights agaisnt Journeyman's and instead went straight to fighting Tommy Morrison the Duke! And he actually almsot won but got careless and lost in the 6th round. He was so close to winning against Tommy. this says a lot about Donnovan. In this era he would beat Wilder for sure, he has the durability to take some of Wilder's punches and in return giving Wilder the Smash. Well we know what will happen after. I think he could beat David Haye when Haye was WBA champ and I think he can take Joshua. Fury I think he can too if he can land a few of those smashes. Donnovan had the speed and skills to get it done. Dangerous boxers wouldn't know what hit them. these Prospects like adam kownacki would have no place agaisnt Donnovan when he gives them a smash. Donnovan can certainly beat Charles Martin.

that's just a jab to set up an uppercut , this was not a smash , and it's very common actually , but risky. it's usually set up by double jabs and it's even called the knock knock by most coach like teddy atlas

exactly , out of all this video with very few "real" uppercuts you manage to chose one of the rarest time he throws a uppercut and called it the smash...typical hajime no ippo fan lmao

and like the guy above said , it's the safest way to pull out a uppercut (with the right hand), floyw mayweather used that knock knock strat against canelo and i believe it's actually the main reasons why people say canelo got schooled , he looked like an amateur taking those set ups punch twice in a row

When Ruddock would punch full force with either hand, the power and speed seemed inhuman. It looked like a spring. I'd go as far as to say he's the MOST explosive boxer in history, his absolutely insane acceleration of his hands making them extremely fast and powerful is unmatched. If anyone knows of any boxer who had the same ability to make it look like their body was a SPRING, I would love to hear it.
