Robert Byrd said it was a head butt. I saw a left uppercut.

    Judah was ready to quit. Robert Byrd might have blown this. I scored the ninth and gave it to Clottey. 87-84 Clottey.

    This should have been a TKO win for Clottey. Another example of why boxing needs instant replay for these sort of calls!

    It definitely looked like it was caused by a punch to me. Since the ringside doctor said Judah told him he couldn't see, therefore Clottey should have won via TKO.

    I saw nothing by way of a clash of heads. Judah looked normal until the uppercut snapped his head back and he put his right hand to shield his right eye as a sign that he was hurt. Clearly a punch and this fight should have been Clottey TKO9.

    I was just waiting for some home cooked decision after that headbutt fantasy.

    Yeah but Clottey isn't even American and it very much appeared to be a pro Judah house.

    Doesnt matter the States is not like Scotland or the UK where the whole country will get behind a fighter. There's regional/hometown support but thats it. It was a neutral venue.
