I have a collection of
Iron Mike Tyson's fights in my PC which have been downloaded all through
Kazza. The one that I just had it finished yesterday and watched for the first time is his fight againt
Donavan "Razor" Ruddock an originally
Jamaican boxer who used to fight for
Canada. That's one of the most interesting fights that I've ever watched.
Ruddock has been knocked down twice during the fight and at the end lost by
TKO. At first I wondered what
TKO means and then found it in
American Heritage Dictionary as it got alsmot every word and phrase in it. Here it is:
TKO= Technical Knockout (n.) (Sports) = A victory in boxing, with immediate termination of the match, awarded by the referee when it appears that one fighter is too badly injured to continue.
As result of that decision, people rush to the ring and you can't say who's who. Regardless of the chaos,
Tyson and
Ruddock hug at the end. Seemed someone was objecting the refree's judgement.
Ruddock was tremendous, esp. his hooks were all great but
Tyson crashed him so badly. That was in round 7.
(Photo: Tyson and Ruddock has fought two times, both in 1991. The first one which I'm talking about here was in March. This photo doesn't give any clue that which fight is that only shows a good punch of Tyson landed in the face of Razor)
