    I wonder if khan is the best body puncher I boxing history

    He's dropped and stop two of the most durable guys with simply perfect body shots

    He makes scientific boxers keep their hands low because of the body shot

    Head was clear, legs were gone. He got temporarily disconnected. Had he took an 8 count instead of immediately hopping up, things might've been different. But he didn't. Stoppage wasn't premature.

    I do wish they didn't stop it, so Tszyu could beat Zab and punish him more.

    He would have decapitated him anyway.

    I wanted Zab to get more punishment.. y'all kno wha Im sayinnn sheettt

    It was a legitimate stoppage, if Judah would have taken the knee i think he would have been fine. His head seemed clear, his legs were like jelly. Judah is a tough guy, watch his fight with Cotto. He was going backwards when the first shot put him down, got up too quickly.

    No fan of Nady but it was a good call in an important fight. Zab acted like a bloody idiot so I'm glad he got decked.

    I have read an interview with some boxer I do not remember, who said that sometimes if you get hit very hard and get knocked down, you just lose the track of the count, this must have what happened to Judah.

    I believe so .

    If it was the other way around and it was Kostya Tszyu that got caught and dropped . Jay nady would definitely not ended the fight that quickly .

    I cant say Judah would have survived that rnd , because I don't know what would have happened .

    Tszyu probably would have put his lights out .

    Maybe not .

    Who knows ?

    True, i read it too. Basically you're so scared you could have slept a little too long that you try to get up as soon as possible, you don't even try to hear referee's count since it may already be at 7 or 8.

    Also the first time a boxer gets knocked down in his career, he always tries to jump right up and brush it off.

    Zab was doing well, got too ****y and then couldn't believe what had happened after it actually happened. Definitely got up way too fast. His overconfidence and inexperience cost him.

    Definitely premature but it's understandable why the ref stopped it after Judah busted his moves.
