I'd take Bowe by KO in 7 or 8 rounds. Fun fight while it lasts. I could see Ruddock hurting Bowe in some moments. Especially if Bowe is coming in with reckless abandon trying to finish Ruddock.

Like Gilgamesh said, Ruddock would have his moments hurting Bowe with a "Smashing" left hook or uppercut in the early rounds, Bowe would survive and wear Ruddock down with jabs and body punches before putting him away in 10 rounds with a big left hook.

Skillwise Bowe is the far better fighter, but I always found him too hittable. Even Michael Dokes managed to get a few clean hits in during the short time the fight lasted. I'm leaning towards Ruddock in this one.

He's also physically bigger. Hits harder or at least as hard, and has a better chin. I agree with you though that he got hit too much. He also would give up his height advantage too easy, and slug it out with a guy in his punching range when he didn't have to.

If Ruddock lands 'The Smash' cleanly, he wins, if he doesn't, he won't.

I wish this would have taken place. Even though ruddock lost to lennox ruddock would have put up a better fight than both dokes and ferguson. Bowe wins in 7. Bowe needed more fights like this.
