There you go. I dont see what satisfaction people get outta hating on fighters like that, cause if anything, it says more about THEM, than it does the person they're hating on, the fact they feel the need to kick someone when they're down.
Ok so are you saying that he didn't realise that the referee was counting to 10 as a knockdown ? atsch Judah did the equivalent of a singer storming off stage after 4 songs of a concert because their voice wasn't quite on fire for that night. He quit and ripped the paying public off.
I dont know what he realized, that's the point, neither do you, it was in the heat of the moment, I'm just willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
are you joking?? its not even that he quit that annoyed me, its that he quit AND TRIED TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE HE WAS CHEATED! I f people believed that was a low blow that would massively discredit khan and make Judah look like the unlucky victim which is bull****. I won't kick a man when he's down but if Judah just said khan was very good on the night and I didn't perform thats fair enough but he tried to sneak his way out with the best possible loss, it was embaressing and he deserves stick for it.
judah is an embarrassment to boxing. don't box if you are a coward. nobody will berate him if he lost. but he got everything he deserves 'cos he gave up.
Sorry but you're clearly making excuses for the man. He didn't want to continue getting busted up and quit when the opportunity arose. He would have heard/seen the ref counting right in front of him. He also has a history of this.
yeh noone does but thats wat he wanted us to believe it was disgraceful as they say you have to live with the consequences of your actions
If Judah made a conscious decision to pack that fight in, then that is disgraceful, I just dont know if that's true, it might be, but there is enough of a ? mark for ME, not to jump on his back, particularly given that he's gone down from low blows before(Cotto), and got up, and has taken a KD before, to get away from the mental pressure he was being put under(Cotto), then again, I guess you could say he's also had a history of pulling stunts like this in fights(Clottey) I dont know, maybe I am being kind to him.
lol your far too generous, we know it wasnt a low blow so why the hell was he rolling on the floor like it was? Of course we wont know 100% because only he knows, but common consensus is that it wasnt so therefore he was lookin for a way out that painted him in the best light. as you said he has a history of such fakery, its in his nature and its a shame, i would have respected him if he got beat via points or real tko like a man and a boxer should, not that sly acting bull****
He either made more of it than it was trying to get Khan DQ'd or he was really hurt by the shot and couldn't get up. The way he's talking making excuses, and given that he has quit before against Clottey points in the direction of a quit job. We all know Judah never been stacked with heart in the ring, shouldn't have come as any big surprise. Never really liked him as boxer, hugely overrated in his actual boxing ability, but you have to respect the fact he had the balls to step in with the best all throughout his career. Only wish the Mosley fight had happened, and maybe a De La Hoya and Margarito fight, they would've been entertaining beatings.
Boxing fans have a right to be critical, if they feel that a fight illustrated a flaw in a particular boxer, they should point that out. Or, if they feel they didn't give their all in a performance, or cheated, etc. they should object to that. Otherwise, they become nothing more than uncritical hero-worshiping fanboys.
I think its funny when a guy at the end of his career loses to a young fighter and then all his achievements come into question. This wasnt the same Zab of a decade ago, not the same guy who fought Mayweather. Hes young in years but an old fighter. Zabs not a atg fighter, but by discrediting his entire career its disrespectful to guys like Micky Ward, DeMarcus Corley, Spinks and all the guys he did beat and even the ones he lost to. Zab has shown plenty of heart in his career hes just ring weary now.
I've been a Judah fan since the Golden Gloves days in NYC as we are relatively the same age. He's obviously let me down numerous times, but as a professional athlete, he's going to get criticized and praised. He knows that his days of earning 6 figure salaries are probably over, but he seems to be in a better place in his life now. Props to Khan. I did not expect him to dominate the way he did, but I always give props when the winner deserved it. Guess I'll look forward to Maidana vs. Guerrero next, Gamboa vs. Ponce de Leon and then Star Power.
