The funny thing is Rudy is a specialist in the Monkey style.
As for the fight results, I think two things were a big factor.
1. Rudy gassed, and was visibly showing it after the second break. He even commented to me that he needs to work on that.
2. Anthony has a really hard head and shot that would have knocked out another just didn't seem to phase him much. Rudy actually injured his hand beating Anthony in the head. He had it on ice as we last spoke.
Rudy actually commented to me that he he just could not believe Anthony could take shot like that and keep going.
Rudy told me he felt like his ear had been torn from a grind into the matt, so he tapped due to that. The knee to the head actually occurred after the tap....although, from that spot I think Anthony had him anyway. If Rudy had not taped before hand, I think Anthony would have just KO'd him with the Knee shots.
