    Zoo-dah woulda been stopped in the very next round. He may very well have got permanent brain damage as no doubt another lightening perfectly executed right hand would have snapped Judah straight on the button. One second left in the round or not. That's a highly dangerous way to leave a fighter in after getting dropped, getting up and falling down again doing the chicken squabble.



    Let it go on and Jay Nady gets ridiculed anyway for letting Zab getting plastered allover the canvas. Jay-Nay did the right thing in my opinion.

    Thoughts?

    Yay for Jay?

    I generally don't like Nady but that chicken dance made me concerned for zabs physical health.

    Zab musta felt perturbed on a personal level, him and his crew came in for a war, left the ring with his glove to nadys throat. I always thought of Jay nady as a big "do do or a male Karen" some of the stuff he says is very infantile like he's talking to a young baby, such as:

    Your head, your head Evander in toney fight
    That's a big "bozo nono " he said once
    And when the fighter was getting his mouthpiece rinsed, he said "no coaching, no coaching". Smh it's like a 2 second window panel.

    However I woulda loved him in certain bouts:
    1 Tyson Holyfield, for thee head butts
    2 Ruiz golota, for all the foolery
    And 3 maybe zudah Cotto, to see how he would have reacted to low blows. I guess maybe the golota Bowe fights too: coulda prevented a riot as it seems.

    Love him or hate him, the results of Holyfield and Tyson would have had a more officiated feel too it. Not taken to the streets like Mike said he did about it!

    No. Judah was done. Tszyu had him figured out and would have landed more right hands the next round.

    I have never seen a ref let a fighter continue after falling twice from the same shot.

    Judah was cooked and Tszyu would’ve done him some serious damage had it continued. Nady was a good referee who didn’t take the envelopes to favour the house fighter. This is the reason he didn’t often get the big assignments as he was a man of integrity.

    What kind of a question is this? He gets dropped, stood up on wobble leg, and then stumble across the ring. Every ref would have waved it.

    This is why a fighter should never just jump up unless it was a flash knock down. Take that 7 seconds and then stand up. You’ve already lost that rnd and jump right up aint changing anything.

    The poll answers make no sense. Is Yay for Jay, yes his stoppage was good?

    Judah invented the famous chicken dance and fell over, after standing up, after being knocked down. If he had composure, he may well have been able to take a breath and stand up on the 8 count. Obviously, the chicken dance shows he was off with the fairies. Therefore, I'd say it was a good stoppage.

    Zab was possibly a dead man walking had Nady not stopped that. It was textbook officiating.

    Kostya Tszyu was a stone, cold killer and Zab is lucky he didn’t cop a seriously vicious beating with permanent consequences.

    If you fall down more than once from one punch.................it's over. Zab's legs betrayed him...........the end.

    Judah only has himself to blame. If he'd stayed down and taken a count rather than jumping straight back up, then he might have been fit to continue. As it stands, the stoppage was a good one. He was knocked down twice from one punch thanks to his own stupid bravado.
