Mistakes on Razor Ruddock's record?

Post by My2Sense »

I just happened to look on Razor Ruddock's record, and I see it's listed that he was KO'd in 2 by Larry Alexander. That should be reported as the other way around; it was Ruddock who KO'd Alexander in 2.

Also, does anyone know if Ruddock lost a fight early in his career to Arthur Hall? It's listed as a W in 4 for Ruddock, but I came across this old newspaper report here that mentions Ruddock as having lost a 4-round decision to Hall:

I really don't know anything about this fight myself; perhaps the newspaper was mistaken?

The link you provided is for Razor Ruddock's KO 2 Larry Alexander.

But you forgot the link to the old newspaper report that mentions
Ruddock having lost a 4-round decision to Hall.

According to August 1982 Ring Magazine, p57; Razor won a 4 rd
majority decision over Richard Hall. The win is also listed in the
1983 Pugilato RB, p.601 and 2002 FightTax RB, p.418.

That is the article that mentions Ruddock losing. Look just above and below the subtitle "Ruddock closer to title bout."

"Hall also holds a four-round decision victory over current heavyweight contender Razor Ruddock."

"Ruddock, who has come a long way since losing to Hall..."

Yup got it; :TU:
I forgot to scoll up with the little hand. :oops:

But I still don't give much credence to Vince Murray's article
because he goes on to contradict himself by listing Ruddock's
record the same as BoxRec's 18-1-1.
I followed Razor at the time and the only lost he had before
Tyson was an upset to David Jaco.
