Yeah it was early. If Nady gave the full 10 count Judah would have recovered. Paul Williams received the FULL 10 count when he was sleeping after the Martinez knockout. Montiel was allowed to continue after having a seizure from the Donaire knockout. The inconsistency of boxing reffing is something that really irks me.
Not at all, Judah didn`t have a clue where he was, legs were gone. Then regains his snenses, tries to attack Jay Nady !!
No, the stoppage was fine. Judah would have suffered some serious brain damage if Tsyzu was allowed to bludgeon him again.
I think he should have given the full count. There are only a few instances where I can understand stopping the count and waving a fight off, the Zab situation is not one of them.
The only thing early about the stoppage was that it happened in the second round of the fight. / thread
all those who say it was proper would you have robbed the world of Corrales-Castillo, Foreman - Lyle, and Hagler - Hearns.
Sure he would have Even if he'd managed to stand unassistaed, Tszyu would have put him to sleep soon after.
He still deserved the chance to decide that under his own will power. Judah made the mistake of rising too early and falling but Nady shouldn't have rushed in there to stop it immediately. Literally one second after it was called Judah was okay to continue fighting. Khan was way more hurt in the Prescott and Garcia bouts and the ref let those continue. Montiel had a SEIZURE on the canvas and Mora let that continue. I'm all for fighter safety but what's the point of having a 10 count if the ref is looking for any reason to stop it anyway? And then you have a situation where Paul Williams is lying comatose on the canvas and Bayless belts out the full 10 count anyway. Good argument. ********.
