After Zab Judah was upset by heavy underdog Carlos Baldomir in January, a future bout with Floyd Mayweather, Jr. appeared to be memory. In a risky move, promoters Don King and Bob Arum agreed to move forward with the April pay-per-view for Mayweather-Judah.
The hype for the event revolved around a friendship between both fighters that went sour when Judah became jealous of Mayweather's quick rise in the sport. In a surprise to many, the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada sold thousands of tickets within a few days and the anticipation for the bout remained strong.
Despite what many experts had predicted, the fight turned out to be competitive, and packed action from the fighters and their camps when a riot broke out at the end of the tenth round.
The fight started off well for Zab Judah (34-4, 25 KOs), who used his southpaw style, speed and reflexes to get off first with his punches and won three of the first four rounds. As the fight went on, Floyd Mayweather (36-0, 24 KOs) figured Judah out and dominated the remainder of the fight with accurate punches to the body and head of Judah. Mayweather’s accurate punches caused Judah's mouth and nose to bleed profusely for most of the fight.
As Mayweather began busting Judah up with hard punches in the tenth round, Judah landed a vicious low blow that caused Mayweather to crumble in pain. As Mayweather went down from the low blow, his uncle/trainer Roger Mayweather charged the ring to go after Judah which prompted the Judah camp to charge the ring and a riot broke out in the ring between the camps of both fighters. As the punches flew from the camps, police and security charged the ring to break up the melee. Roger Mayweather was thrown out of Floyd's corner for charging the ring. [details]
