Judah Vs. Tszyu - Chiken Dance Video

Now that I Looked at it over and over again.. I do think the stoppage was kind of FAST!

But at that time Judah had no chance. Tszyu would have finished him off that same round.

Sorry, meant to say.. "the next round"

The job of the referee is to protect the boxer, Zab had a high potential of getting hurt if he had allowed the fight to continue.

Yes, but he didn't give him the standing 8 count. He might have recovered

I find it hard to believe that Judah would have been KO'ed in the remainder of the round since by the time Nady would have been done with the eight count (or even four or five count) the round would have been over. Judah got floored with less then ten seconds left on the clock! That being said, Nady had to stop the fight cause it is the rule if a fighter bounces up then hits the deck again the bout must be stopped, so no bitching about the outcome here...

I does almost look fast, but how many seconds did zab waste doing the break dance moves...He wasn't "even in the building" when he got up the first time...

Is this a real rule? Everyone keeps talking about it.. but some say it doesn't exists

Nady said it was a rule, however-- that all depends on how credible you think Nady is... personally I am not a fan so he does not get too much trust from me. But I had also not heard that this was made-up so perhaps you have just lifted the wool from my proverbial eyes!

Nadey said the reason he stopped the fight was because of the look in Judah's eyes. Referees are trained to look for signs of post concussion syndrom, and he said he was sure Judah wasn't aware of what happened to him. There is no was anyone can see what Judah's eyes were like from TV footage. Nadey was there and made that call, and was completely justified in doing so.

No way was that a poor stoppage.

At the disciplinary hearing, Judah apologized to Nadey and thanked him for stopping the fight when he did.

well it is unfortunate it was stopped early......but that doesn't mean it was stopped unjustifiably......

he did the right thing, and that was the fundamental obligation of the referee, and that is to protect the boxers.
