Why is the Zab "chicken dance" so funny?

[Xyei]

Rules are rules. If you fall down twice from the same punch, you automatically lose. The ref. doesn't make 'em.

Do you know when/why this rule came about? When Tyson fought Trevor Berbick and knocked him down in the second berbick fell, got up and fell again and Mills Lane was still counting.

Was this an error by Lane, or was the rule not in effect then?

I think because Zab had that 'thug' image and was quite a loud mouth prick his 'dance' was celebrated more than it would of been if it had not been Zab.

Basically you have someone who talked s*** and got ***** slapped for it. It's a classic comuppance and he really did look like silly.

Some states don't follow the rule. Some sanctioning bodies don't either. Not sure where I even heard the rule, I just know.. in most cases, it exists. It might be a newer rule too, as rules have gotten tighter over the years, like with all sports.

I'm not even sure that it's an official rule more so than an unspoken agreement as to the proper course of action..

I'm pretty sure it's a rule. I heard Al Berstein make the claim, I do believe and he's a pretty knowledgable fellow.

I've seen those before! Ha ha. The first one is great where he gets knocked down and is so ffffdd up that he is punching at nothing laying flat on his back.

nah its not a rule i remember watching that fight and they kept going on about it saying it was a rule, but whan they asked nady he said it wasnt a rule and i have seen a few fights were fighters go down twice and are aloud to continue.

It's a double KO, and it's the funniest KO of all time, when Judah's pathetic career is all said and done, all he will be remembered for is this hilarious KO. Judah is the black Andrew Golota.
