Was Tszyu-Judah stopped too early? Should the ref have let Zab continue fighting?

    Zab would of been ktfo if they let it continue.
    This...that's why it was the right call. That and Tsyzu would have took Zabs head off if it continued.

      Zab was popping like street dancers all over the world. He just needed the soul sonic force "planet rock" playing while he did it!

        You knew the stoppage was good when Zab Judah STILL couldn't stand on his own to protest to Jay Nady and for a moment the only thing keeping his quivering knees from buckling yet again was Nady holding him up.

        The comparison to Berbick/Tyson seems silly because I would have had no problem with the ref stopping that one sooner either.

        EDIT: In seeing this again, I'm remembering just how bad a decision it was to get up immediately. The bell would have rung during the count and he'd be able to follow that up with a minute on the stool to possibly return to his senses.

          I always thought the ref stopped it too soon.

          Judah had to take some of the blame because he tried to get right back up instead of taking a few seconds gather his senses. I think it's that pride with boxers sometimes that get KD and try to get jump right back to show their not hurt

          But I never really liked that stoppage

            IF Zab took the 8 count on a knee it would probably would of continued. But he tried to stand up too fast and went parallel with the ground so it was rightly called off.

                Nady is a prick but I don't think he a choice after Zab fell down the second time.

                Zab was going to crumble in that fight anyway and KT would have stopped him eventually.

                  Zab has a history of being "fine" as soon as the fight is waved off.

                    Stoppage was premature imo, he should've counted the whole 8 and then asked him if he can continue, once zab fell the second time the ref stopped it very early, also the round was over so he wasn't in danger if his legs were a bit wobbly, ref should've counted to 8.

                    What I can't recall though is why a rematch never happened? Thqt would've been huge!

                      He was too wobbly to correctly order his double bacon cheese burger and fries from the ref as well.
