    thumbs up to that! i was late arriving on the Kahn bandwagon, but he appears to have the goods.

    Personally, I'm of the opinion that Judah was just looking for a way out but if it was a low blow then it was a low blow. Plain and simple. It doesn't have to hit the balls squarely to be a foul. If people believe it was an illegal blow, then you have to also believe that the ref should NOT have counted Zab out and Zab should have been given time to recover.

    You can't decide it wasn't that bad or whatever. A foul is a foul.

    Most people on ESB clearly don't know what a low blow is, a low blow is a punch that lands anywhere below the belt line, the ref defined it as a low blow as pointed out so yes it was. Low blows below the abdominal wall that are above the balls are still very debilitating, I suggest punching yourself a couple of inches above your **** to see how much more vunerable that area is than the midsection above it

    Now Zab may have quit or he may have been debilitated by the punch, I don't know. He would have lost anyway granted.

    The referee is given leeway into what blow is low. He decided it wasn't low during the match, so it wasn't a low blow officially. Just like how holding excessively is judged excessive by the referee during a match differs between referees.

    That said, a low blow is a shot BELOW the belt, not freaking ON it, by the standard. That's why a lot of people say it wasn't low upon closer inspection.

    Not true. It depends on how the trunks are worn.

    This was always Lennox Lewis's trick.His trunks always appeared just under his chest area.

    Khan v Judah - on the belt line, no where near low
    Calzaghe v Hopkins - maybe a little low
    Golota v Bowe - dangerously low!

    Judah is a notorious bottler and bottled out of a fight he was clearly going to lose

    it didnt hit his d*ck or his b*lls, if he had the heart to win and thought he could win he would have gotten up for some time to recover!.

    He might have been hit just on the belly button lower ab area where it felt like a low blow but it was legal enough shot for me tbh.

    Khan would have knocked him out anyways,no way was judah going to even win a second of a round!.

    Judah was moaning about fake cuts and headbuts and looked mentally weak before this happened.
