He should not have eaten that last left hook. The first shot knocked him down. When you fly across the ring into the ropes and the ropes hold you up, that's a knock down. The ref should have first called a knockdown at this point. But that last hook should definitely never have happened. He was out on his feet with his hands at his sides for at least a second before Ruddock through the last hook. This is the kind of stuff that gets fighters talking funny.

Arthur Mercante Jr has to be one of the worst referees in the history of the sport. How he could count 10 over a fighter who was clearly knocked out and needed immediate medical attention is beyond me. This isn't the only fight where Junior endangered a fighter by either letting a fight go on too long or by not attending to a boxer on the canvas in serious trouble in no condition to continue. His dad was old school too but in a day where we didn't know much about accumulation of punishment and brain injury in fighters but allowing Foreman to almost kill Frazier in their first fight because "Frazier was the champion and you have to give the champion the benefit of the doubt" was unforgiveable. Mercante Sr was a strange man. He's probably the most celebrated ref in the history of the sport but I read his autobiography and several incidents in and out of the ring he recalled in the book left me scratching my head wondering if he might just be a little retarded. Looks like the acorn didn't fall far from the tree.

He neglected his tools. Earlier in his career he had a great left jab which he used frequently along with his right hand. Watch his earlier fights such as the one he had with Weaver in '86 he is jabbing, and throwing combinations. After the Bonecrusher ko he basically became a one-handed fighter always looking to land the haymaker and it made him a one-dimensional fighter. A Ruddock who could of kept pumping a jab in Tyson's face would of had the potential to beat Tyson when they fought in '91.

Poor Michael...as full of confidence and spirituality he was before this fight, it's tragic his life went to absolute shit after it. So sad. He was intelligent, articulate and creative...a deep man so rare in the sport. I am absolutely certain the last punch Arthur Mercante Jr allowed Ruddock to throw at an unconscious Dokes sitting on the bottom rope contributed immensely to the mental and physical decline seen in the fight with Bowe. Michael entered the ring to fight Bowe with a shuffling gait, a sure sign of pugilistica dementia along with a brain fried beyond healing from cocaine. The man interviewed before this fight was unrecognizable the night he beat his girlfriend almost to death in a cocaine fueled and raging frenzy 8 years later. I think his life started down that path due to the savage knockout he suffered this night at the hands of Ruddock and the incompetence of Arthur Mercante Jr. A true boxing tragedy.

@@antaresblazewar9083, Lennox Lewis was a big man. He was also a dirty fighter. Pushing down on opponents with his body weight. Look at the Lennox Lewis vs Levi Billups fight. The FIRST 13 seconds of the fight Lewis brings the top of his elbow down on the crown of Billups’ head, from 12-6, which is illegal in MMA. Why does a man with such height and weight advantages have to engage in such behavior? Despite his gifts one thing Lewis did not have was a chin. That’s evident by Lewis’ one-punch KO losses to Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman. If Ruddock happened to catch Lewis with the left hook uppercut hybrid, the smash, he’d have fallen asleep before he hit the canvas. If Lewis turned pro at 19 like Tyson did he would have gotten his ass beat. Lewis turned pro at 24, remaining in the amateurs so he could beat up on children.

I hope that ref Arthur Mercante Jr. was banned from the sport. Any cretin could tell you that the fighter was defenseless. Arms down. LOW. Head hanging, unresponsive. **Unacceptable** at any level not to step in. I don't know if this fight's rules permitted a standing 8 but in _all my life_ I've never seen a more obvious case. And if no 8 permitted, STOP THE FIGHT. Dokes should have sued him and the commission for that.

Obviously, this is taking nothing away from Razor. But there's skill, there's stupidity, there's incompetence, and there's ban him forever from the sport. That ref. Arthur Mercante Jr.

Frightening! If a fighter face plants, there is no need to count 99% of the time.

Yeah, struggled like fuck. Probably the only fighter to give prime Tyson a proper fight, Tyson reckoned his punches were the hardest he faced.

I met Dokes promoter Sterling McPherson. He had a 3 million guarantee to fight Mike Tyson and took this fight instead

Gil Clancy puts his foot in his mouth a split second before the ko. Not surprised. He does these type things often.

In hindsight, it was obvious why Ruddock was staying on the inside. He knew what he was looking to do.

It was strange angle. Like part hook, part lead upper cut. He was out when it landed. The rest was gravy.

With the penultimate blow Michael Dokes had already let his guard down and was falling. The last blow was too much, it was unnecessary and very dangerous, which shows human evil on the part of the boxer (Alí did not do that with Foreman when he was falling, he saved the blow, but Ali was the best) and also shows the negligence of the boxer. referee. Both should have been sanctioned (referee and Ruddock). It reminds me of the same situation of the Ray Mercer vs. fight. Tommy Morrison.

Did Clancy say he had Dokes up 3 - 0? Dokes was hurt in every round. Saying ‘pffftt’ after every every punch doesn’t score points. Maybe 2 - 1 Razor. 3- 0 Dokes? Inconceivable!

Good win for Ruddock, but he went on to come to similar grief against Lennox Lewis.

Unfortunately Ruddock fell in love with that left hybrid hook and he was easy pickings for Tyson and Lewis. Don't think he had much left when he faced Lewis but Ruddock and a good jab and a good overhand right but never used it after this fight

He interesting thing about Ruddock.is that he never got a title shot...I know he came close a couple times...he never fought for the heavyweight title...I'm talking the wba wbc,ibf.not the Canadian title
