I may be in the minority, but I think Tszyu vs Judah was an EARLY STOPPAGE.....

[Canelo Phresh]

No, but I didn want Judah to at least have a chance to come back from the knock down. the round was over, and Zab was a lot less hurt than other fighters have been in the past, and other fighters were given the opportunity to continue to fight.

And lets not act like Tzsyu couldnt be knocked out. Old ass, slow, and no better than decent, Vince Phillips knocked him out.

I dont think Zab Judah was coming back did you?

Hey Mannie, you never paid our bet.

Watching from outside the ring, fans can come up with all of the right answers. But in that square circle, you don't know how you will react.

Everyone wont be calm, cool and collected after being put down with a monster shot. Judah got up went down, got up wobbly from a hellacious shot.

Still Nady owed him an 8 count. Berbick being a veteran boxer and champion was flopping around the ring like a fish out of water and Mills Lane counted, and gave Berbick every chance to survive.

If a ref starts a count, he should finish his count unless the fighter looks out, truly hurt or totally unable to continue. You give yourself room to judge the fighter.

So youre saying, that with a minute to rest, there is no way Judah could have continued?

I even said in my first post, that Judah would have probably been KO'd in the 3rd, but the fact that it was a HUGE fight at the time, and it was a CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT, with the round already being over, Judah should have been allowed to go back to his corner and come back in the 3rd.

Face it brah...not one agrees with you. Judah got waxed and did the corky dance while trying to beat the count

There are a few here who agree that the stoppage was premature homey!

[Optimistic]

There's no way that was an early stoppage.

Who said he didnt get caught, and get "waxed"? As a matter of fact, I said that Judah would have went on to get knocked out in the 3rd, but that the stoppage was early, and he should have been given the benefit of the doubt due to it being a HUGE CHAMPIONSHIP fight. Plus the round was over, and he would have had a minute to recover.

[Always]

There's no way that was an early stoppage.

The round was over, and Nady stopped the count at 4. How is stopping at 4 not an early stoppage? Was Zab not coherent enough to argue his point immediately after the stoppage?

Why not give him the benefit of the doubt, and let him go on to the 3rd round?

[TBear]

If they let it go on it may have been a career stopper. Now if Judah didn't jump up and he took a nine count and regained his legs here is a possibility he might have gone on but he didn't.

Because a flash knock down doesn't affect your legs. A flash knock down doesn't scramble your brain and body to the point that you flop about the ring. Without Nady grabbing him he would have gone down a third time too.

A flash knock down is when a guy gets put off their feet because they are not warm. Doesn't hurt them, doesn't scramble their brain or legs. They get put down, get straight back up without any ill effects to their body or mind and fight on as if nothing happened.

Judah got nailed with a good shot. If he had stayed down he would have been fine maybe. He chose to jump up and fall about all over the place.

The other thing people forget is that it was probably his eyes and the way he was pointing at Nady while one eye was probably rolled back in his head and the other looking back down at the ground that really made Nady jump in to stop it. His eyes would have looked like he'd just been hit over the head with a sledge hammer and all over the shop.

Your right flash kd was the wrong word, he got caught with something and jumped up right away which is why i feel his legs were really gone.
