SPORT TH by Brad OUGHTS Kelly * Deciding Game of Semi-Finals Goes Tonight\ Ten days have passed since the heavyweight clash between Rudaock and Tyson took place. And still, within my own mind, a winner hasn't been declared. declared. Oh sure, referee Richard Steele raised Tyson's hand following the bout. But, as it has turned out, Ruddock was the biggest winner of that fight: Although Although a loss was tagged onto the professional record of Canada's hope for the heavyweight title, in the end he was a winner. Only in the professional world of the WWF could a scenario like this have taken place. But the confusion was all needless. People like myself, who refuse to fork over upwards or $50 to watch these events on closed circuit, deserved better. better. It's cheaper to pick up a paper the following day to get all the details, providing the reporter assigned assigned to cover the fight can draw a vivid picture and account of the fight. Sitting at ringside and watching the fight, it should have been cut and dry who the winner was. Reporters, especially those in the print media, have the responsibility to bridge the gap that remains following the fight to those not in attendance. When readers have absorbed all the information they can, they want to be able to put the paper down and not nave any questions remaining. If you're a reader of the Sun, you were left with more questions after reading their coverage than you were before you started memorizing tne articles articles and columns. The reporter assigned to cover the fight was Steve Simmons, who also spent some time in Vegas following the Ruddock camp prior to the fight. If you read some of his stories leading up to the bout, it was evident that Simmons was caught in a media trap. From his stories, he had become a supporter of Ruddock, and his writing was a reflection of his friendship with him. If it wasn't evident before the fight, there certainly certainly wasn't any doubt afterwards. Simmons did everything but declare Tyson the winner in last Tuesday's edition. And, in Wednesday's Wednesday's edition, it got even worse. Apparently, it was difficult for Simmons to accept accept that a friend, in this case Ruddock, was a loser. loser. Evidence of that were the number of excuses he found in defence of the beaten Canadian. " As a reader, it was easy to fall for what Simmons was feeding us. For me, he was my pipeline to the fight. It was easy to become a member of the Canadian Canadian mob ready to lynch referee Steele after reading reading Simmons. Only one night later, the authorities of TSN's Sports Page were in agreement with Steele's decision decision to stop the fight. In their opinion, Ruddock was only one punch away from landing himself on his keester for the third time in the fight. From their accounts, Tyson's next punch could have caused considerable damage. Many of the other stations who have so-called boxing experts were all in agreement. The fight had come to the point where one more punch would have done it anyway. So why not spare Ruddock further punishment? \ If Simmons considered himself a friend of Ruddock, Ruddock, he should have been thankful of Steele's decision: decision: 1 When the two fighters clash again this summer, Simmons will be easily spotted along press row. Look for the waving pom-poms. • . ■ in-- Family Trust Enters Round Robin Playoff The Hollingsworth Family Family Trust Tigers are now in tne round robin portion of their playoffs.
