Yes, my memory serves correctly. From David Tua's own website: Standing there in his corner, nervous but totally focused, Tua knew he was in the best shape of his life. His eyes bored into the tall, arrogant Ruiz, the World Boxing Council's international champion and winner of 25 of his 27 fights, 17 by knockout. Tua saw not a fighter, or even a man, but an enemy who was "trying to steal my dream away from me and all the things I want to be able to give my family." Ruiz never had a hope from the moment he walked jauntily into Tua's first explosive left hook which rocked him onto the ropes and subjected him to a brutal barrage. He was out cold as a frog and on his way down when Tua's last thunderous hook slammed him to the canvas before the referee counted him out. This wasn't a fight, it was a 'Termination'. They cheered mightily as they clipped Ruiz's belt around Tua's waist minutes before an ambulance drove the badly-concussed former international champion to hospital, his neck in a brace, his dream shattered.
