Razor Ruddock - The Smash 

Is not a hook.... Is not an uppercut Is the smash!

1:34 I've said this my entire life. Ruddocks left hook finisher in this clip is, without a shadow of a doubt, the finest, nastiest, most spiteful and perfectly executed hook I ever saw in my life. It is an incredible punch.

That long left uppercut type punch is special

It's amazing that Tyson weathered that "SMASH" at 1:47 that is such a powerful punch to the knockout button and Tyson's neck barely moves.

0:54 good God, he threw it like a spear 😳

He is probably one of the most underrated athletes in heavyweight boxing. Guys his size don't usually move that quickly with their whole body. The fact that he was a significant contender despite goofy skills speaks to his natural ability.

During the 90s this guy was definitely among the best of the rest. Massive power and decent chin. Tyson fights took pretty much everything out of him.

SENDO!

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.

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 🇲🇽🙏🔥🇯🇲🇨🇦🤝

Lol he's the beastly athletic type of HW that makes you glad you're in the lower divisions

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.

One of the most beautiful punch in the industry. A punch that could easily slip through defense. Razor is a genius to even innovates punch like that.

One of the sickest left hooks ever. Unforgettable

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.

Underrated warrior, one of a kind fighter

*I love this*

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

0:55 gave ME a damn concussion

I believe he’s one of the hardest punchers ever. I think that last left that ko’d dokes is the hardest punch delivered in a boxing ring.

the smash? more like brain damage.

Ive loved this video for years, happy to see its still up. Best Ruddock highlight ive ever seen.

Best drop step in HW history w/o a doubt. Absolutely lethal move when done correctly like Ruddock did often.

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.

Those Razor-Tyson fights were awesome.

0:53 Gosh I felt that

Definitely underrated power! Also has decent feet for a heavy! Could definitely win against anybody if the opponent let too many blows through. Head snaps!

The Sendo guy in Hajime no Ippo, he really punches like this guy. Super sharp like wtf.

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.

1:04 sendo smash

An absolute legend

3:01 Ohhh Lord!!!!!!

This guy was amazing. I hadn't heard of him till I watched Tyson's fights. Smash

Great video

had to watch on half speed on a lot of these.. incredible.

The swing of his punch was so deadly it hits like a hammer wow..

the song very fitting great video

Amazing

That left is what I call a jackhammer uppercut/cross hook, lethal!! Very original for damn sure..

that punch is a whole stance. a quickly fused blast that starts from his feet and posture

Great Video, gives deserved credit to a good fighter. So much for Wilder questioning tyson's opponements...

A fast and extremely powerful puncher. Skilful with it and comes across as a real likeable chap.

"Razor Ruddock dies. If he doesn't die it doesn't count"

It's impressive how fast it is.

That Nasty left is a thing of pure beauty

He was one of the best 90s fighters

For a guy who was supposedly only a left-hand puncher, he threw some pretty nasty right hands in this montage.

When that smash punch landed, it was THE END.

Ruddock vs Lyle would have been an interesting fight

haNZAgod, think about doing a highlight for Ken Lakusta, the most unexpected guy who fought the biggest punchers from multiple generations.

That left uppercut hook....oh my gosh. When you took that shot, you went right to sleep.

Big guy with smashing left hook/uppercut

Is a monster !

Notification member ✊

Top class heavyweight

Scary puncher

0:34 by far one of the cleanest right crosses iv ever seen

Ain't never seen anyone else make it like that

Great Puncher

He had the good night uppercut special that could assure you a good night's sleep. LOL

Joshua vs the young razor ruddock would be a fight I would love to watch anyone else ?

Great fighter that left hand was a killer fr

I never thought a punch could go through a guard like it wasn't there holy shit

you do alway s good music in ur vids

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. Man, that springy acceleration and power seemingly coming out of nowhere is so fascinating to look at.

His right uppercut is underrated

The real life sendo!!

Man Razor Rudduck is underrated as hell has wins over multiple former world champions such as Mike Dokes/James Smith/Mike Weaver/Greg Page and had 2 hellacious fights with Tyson

super

Always loved Razor. Hope he is doing well. Entertained me a lot.

wow

Whenever I saw the guy's neck Ben backwards like that all I could think was, I'm glad that ain't me. When you look at some of these guys leaning on the ropes after that smash, I think some of them were already out, but just haven't gone down yet.

Can you try to do a highlights video of a boxer by the name of Jerome Coffee

That punch kind of reminds me if Rocky Marciano's Susie Q It's just a crushing looking blow.

京口選手の動画で気になって観にきました！

Bonecrusher fell slowly like a big oak while razor watched like a woodcutter. Sorta like Ali watching Foreman

The couch potatoes commenting. Hilarious.never boxed let alone been in a fight. Or been in shape. Love it.

That boy left hand was LETHAL

Smash punch in real life is so cool

Surprised I haven't seen any "Takeshi Sendo" comments here! Guess I'm da first!

Ruddock punched like a video game player

SEEEENDO! SEEEEENDO! SEEEENDO!

Name of the song?

I watched tommy flatten him with a left hook. Razor was one of the best left hooks in boxing during his time.

45 degree uppercut.

The only problem with Ruddock ws-- he was not consistent and a bit erratic. . Suddenly getting knocked down & smilingly getting up again. This inconsistency harmed him otherwise --a true champion material.

Un vrai guerriers !

La bomba de takeshi sendo

"The Razor Smash"

1:34. Did he sleepwalk right into the second one?

The move he Does is called the smash low altitude/ high altitude smash

Dillian Whyte is todays Razor Ruddock,Both Jamaican,Both will fight anyone and Both have a Great Left Hook

Now this guy could be champion easy

The Real Life Sendo

Ruddock was a mean beast, would have given A.J a lot of problems.

The guy at 2:10 literally yeets himself at the floor

i always respect you. it is perfectly my wanna be style

1:34

Takeshi sendo?

Most people known for the smash punch but he doesn't get enough credit for his other punches like his cross, jab, and hook punches.
