man what a load of crock, at least let the guy get up and answer to the ref. i mean these guys live and breathe the sport, many say they want to die in the ring, so give him a go.
i must admit it didnt look good when he stiffened up but i think judah was trying to get up quick to show it was nothing, but boxers need to know that they should clear the head first and gather themselves before getting up, it was a flash knockdown, but it was a legit shot by a hard hitter.
another thing, judah asked for it by keeping his hands down , cocky bastard, but thats his style.
man i want the rematch asap. people lost big on that one

 

I was so pumped up to see the fight ... with the pre-fight commentaries and all ... and the fight was one of the biggest disappointments ever. It was just that Judah got stunned and tried to get up too quickly ... he was hurt momentarily, could have fought WAY MORE than what the ref "allowed". That was really tough to watch and disturbing to see a fighter go down that way ... his father having to embrace him and restrain him with his own arms. The bad part is that Judah looked so good in the first round ... I thought for sure he'd be able to put away his opponent within a matter of a couple rounds. I'll look forward to the rematch.

 

He was gone. Judah thought he was in Disneyland. Check out his eyes when he tried to get up.

If he didn't get up quick, he would have been ruled to be KOed.

Give Tzuyu some credit. Tzuyu is a slow starter but he is tough as nails. It was great punch.

 

i am just curious, what if the was kosta who was knocked out, would you say he was robbed.....face it zab got cocky, dropped his hands and got stretched out!!!!!!

 

Yep, Zab got a little over-confident. That's fine when you're fighting gas station attendants (ala Prince Naseem) but not when you're fighting champions like Tzuyu. I figured Zab would make pretty quick work of him but have a great deal of respect for Tzuyu as well. Zab got careless and it cost him the fight. Get ready for Floyd Jr. this coming weekend, he never dissappoints.

 

signing with j.prince was a dissapointment.....

 

Yup... Kostya survived a very hard onslaught before recovering to disconnect Zab Judah's body from his brain with a single punch. Short matches are always a dissapointment but credit due where it's deserved I say.

 

If the man had died of brain injury after being allowed to continue fighting, would you think that was reasonable? He was nearly unconscious. Quite apart from the absurdity of a "sport" where the idea is to severely injure your opponent, encouraging a man to incur further brain damage when he's already hurt would be irresponsible at best. I can't wait for the day when a referee is sued for not stopping a fight that leads to death (and don't say that (death) won't happen because it already has - lots of times).
