    On Friday afternoon, former champion Zab ‘Super’ Judah could be found inside of the confines of the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas, Nevada. Judah was in the building to check out his former foe Floyd Mayweather Jr. get down to work in preparation for his September 17th clash against Victor Ortiz at the nearby MGM Grand but also had a few thoughts he wanted to get off of his chest.
    Judah was last seen inside of the Mandalay Bay on July 23rd as he suffered a TKO loss to WBA and IBF junior welterweight champion Amir Khan. In the fifth round Khan would catch Judah with a right hand that appeared to be on Judah’s beltline and the Brooklyn native went down on his knees before being counted out by referee Vic Drakulich.
    As he interacted with the sparse crowed inside Mayweather’s gym, including his old buddy and Mayweather sparring partner Kassim Ouma, Judah seemed in good spirits after having a few weeks to reflect on how everything played out.
    “I’ve been great,” Judah said, updating me on his life. “Just maintaining, chilling with the family, just enjoying my life.”
    Looking back at how the fight unfolded, Zab feels slighted to not have seen the contest go on.
    “I trained very hard for that fight and only five rounds were completed of a boxing match that was scheduled for twelve rounds. I still feel cheated and I still feel like I owe my trainer another seven or eight rounds,” said Judah.
    Immediately after the loss, people began to take shots at Judah, claiming that the blow he suffered from Khan in the 5th wasn’t an illegal shot and that he was simply looking for a way out of the fight. Answering his critics, Judah took everything in stride while pointing to his track record as a fighter.
    “Like I said, people can say what they want to say. That’s ok, I don’t worry about that. The only one who was in there who felt the pain was myself. Zab Judah’s heart and integrity of a person, I’ve withstood tougher things than that. For somebody to say that Zab would just quit in a fight? That’s unrealistic.”
    No word yet on Judah's immediate plans but he made a point to say that his career is far from finished.

    Unless his dick come out his belly button it was not a low blow! And not one that would have you rolling around in pain for 10 seconds. Simple lies no matter how you look at it! And considering he was in so much pain that disappeared really quickly when the ref stopped the fight! He was quickly on his feet complaining hahahaha.

    yeah awesome avatar. khan once again proving he has an unbreakable 100% iron chin!

    by the way if judah REALLY felt cheated and actually cared about it, I think we would of heard a little more from him. his scilence over the past month speaks volumes!

    he's clearly just happy to receive a pay check.

    It was low. The blow does not have to hit your ***** for it to be considered low. The ref clearly detailed where "low" was and that was his exact description. The fight is over, Zab has the L and Amir was deserved a W for winning more rounds. In a perfect world, it was a low blow, the ref would have given Zab time and the fight would have went on. However, in this world, fans are willing to denounce reality in order for their favorite fighters to seem invincible. I am both a fan of each fighter and realistically understand this was a low blow...period. He should fight on to win again.

    Zab thought he was getting a standing 8 ?

    Well stand up then !!

    Maybe he was confused about what was going on, but he got up quick after the ref reached 9, so he couldnt have been hurt that bad, I dunno.

    Simple fact is the punch was on the belt so no matter what Zab says the fact is he was either :

    1. Hurt by a legal punch
    2. He thought it was a low blow and was play acting and it back fired.

    So either way it was a deserved defeat

    Khan was winning comfortably and it didnt look like anything was gonna change, in actual fact Khan was landing more and more.
