Video of Zab Judah Embarrasing Himself

[SkillspayBills]

Zab, a true gentleman and a class act...

Tim Smith: How badly hurt were you?

Zab Judah: (in stumble bumble stuttering English) I mean…I’m in a world title fight; I got hit with a good shot. But I got up with no count, I mean, I went down, but for sure I was up. I just feel I wasn’t even given a chance or a count.

Tim Smith: There is no standing 8 count in Nevada.

Zab Judah: He just stopped it…4 and that’s it?

Tim Smith: So you thought it was an early stoppage?

Zab Judah: It was an early stoppage…I mean… you see how quickly I got my head back together, and um you know, I was ready to go back, you know what I mean?

Tim Smith: Did you get up too quickly?

Zab Judah: Yeah, you know what I mean, yeah, maybe from my lack of experience, I got up quickly, but you see shortly after that I was ready to go again, know what I mean? He just waved it off, that was crazy.

Tim Smith: Ok, we’re going to take a look at the knock down, so tell me what’s going on Zab? (The final scene of the fight was shown)

Zab Judah: Ok, you know what I mean. (Stumbles for words) I was pulling back, I bet you. I got hit by a good shot. I went down…maybe I got up too fast…

Tim Smith: You’re a little wobbly…

Zab Judah: Yeah, I mean, you’re hurt…ok. I mean, ok, you know. I was wobbly, you know what I mean? It’s what type of fight…I got up too fast you know…they got to give you time to get up…this is not like some…you know…this is a world title fight.

Tim Smith: What are you saying to the referee?

Zab Judah: He already stopped it…I said what are you stopping it for? You know what I mean…I’ve seen fighters roll around on the floor…he just never gave me a chance. Big as this fight is. They should never been stopped it like that.

Tim Smith: But you were really wobbly here Zab…

Zab Judah: Ok, I’m on the floor Tim…I can’t be wobbly on the floor, cut it out man, don’t try to be smart. Look, look, he didn’t even start the count on me…look, look…

Tim Smith: Do you think he stopped it because you went down a second time?

Zab Judah: I mean…I gues…I don’t know what was going through the ref’s mind…look, look, I’m back…I’m saying to him what are you doing? Hey, I can’t cry about it…know what I mean…all I can do is come back…I’m a young fighter, Kostya Tszyu is a legend…know what I mean? I’m just happy to be in there…I thank God no one was hurt…and I’ll be looking for a rematch.

Tim Smith: After the fight, your emotions got the best of you and you went over and had a few words with the referee, do you regret doing that?

Zab Judah: Yes, of course, I mean, you know what I’m saying…I don’t mean to harm any body at a championship fight…it’s just that it’s a big fight…and you gotta understand with a big fight like this …with stakes on the line….you got to understand emotions are involved, know what I mean? So…anything I did to the referee…or anybody else…I apologize for…(His trainer can be heard in the background saying the referee owes Zab an apology.)

Tim Smith: This was a highly anticipated match up, a controversial ending, would you like to see it again?

Zab Judah: Of course, I mean, I’m a true champion…I’m pretty sure Kostya Tszyu is a true champion and I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t want to win a fight like this…you know what I mean…this is a mega fight…the best this division has to offer…I mean what are you going to do now…fight other guys? I mean…I feel we should do it again because we are the best out there that happened…it was a controversial fight, you know what I mean? I went down, of course, but I got up like the soldier I am. And maybe I might have over reacted a little bit, I’m sorry for that, but I was still able to keep on continuing. You got to feel me on this… on a big fight like this…emotions are involved…I mean for him to come over and wave it off, I just was like, over, it can’t be over? I mean this is a mega fight, so for him to stop it like that I felt was uncalled for.

Tell me you didn't realy write that ENTIRE thing out.

Judah v Tszyu was a bad stoppage, actully.
Judah was knocked down, and the referee stopped the fight at the count of 5.
Im not sure it would have made a difference, but it was still stopped improperly.

No it's not. When a fighter gets up then falls back down then tries to get up again and falls back down...etc....etc....etc, the ref will always stop it.

Watch any fight in which a fighter gets knocked down then tries to get up and falls back down again because he has no control over his body. It is always an immediate stoppage. I can't remember ever seeing a fight in which a ref hasn't stopped it in that situation.

It is a good stoppage, like it or not. Anyone that thinks Judah would have come out in the next round with no ill effects is completely daft. He might have seemed alright but his legs would not have been there 100% and he would have been ****ed up even worse.

When your brain gets smashed against your skull so hard it makes you lose all coordination to the point where your limbs can't even keep you standing still in one spot, it takes more than one minute for your brain to regain that equilibrium. Nerve centres and impulses don't recover that quickly. Imagine a brain getting bashed against a wall and all the electrical impulses and synapses in it flipping out...thats what happens and sitting down for one minute with people screaming at you isn't going to help fix it.

As someone said, it was pure inexperience that made him jump up straight away. He had never been hurt or down or even hit really hard to the point it makes your brain go funky. Maybe Zab would have been different if he hadn't lost that fight, but, maybe if the ref had not stopped it Judah would be even more ****ed up now than he already is.

If Judah had gotten to one knee and sort of just fallen back into the ropes without actually falling over completely and the ref stopped it, that would have been a bad stoppage!

[Silencers]

LMAO. Great video.

[BennyST]

He said "Don't ever play with matches!"

HAAAAAhaha good one. I pretty sure he actually said though, something along the lines of "How? Fine." As in what happened? How am I on the ground? Then when he realises the ref is going to stop it, "Im fine."

You can see his mouth form the shape for "How?" or maybe "What?".

[th4l3pr3ch4un]

zab is no bum, but he'll be a class B fighter for the rest of his career

If Zab Judah=Superman, then Kostya Tszyu=Lex Luthor+Doomsday+Batman+A fistful of Kryptonite.

k first judah was ****en out of it. he didnt even know where he was at. **** he got up and starting yelling a jay nada for crying out loud i guess he thought nady hit him lmao! second if you attempt to get up from a knock down and fall back down its an automatic stoppage fight over.

[Gorguruga]

I can understand the stoppage in the Kostya fight, it was Judahs own fault by not taking time to recover and consequently falling back down, Nady assumed he was finished and made a hasty decision. But you can see, Judahs head clears after he had a few more seconds and as a result I'd say it was unfair for the ref to stop it like that, although again it was understandable given his double collapse.
