It surely should have been a DQ... Once someone is on the apron during a round, it's done... The mayweather camp not only did that, they started a frickin' riot... How many boxers have gotten low blows, took it, and went on... not the mayweather camp. They storm the ring. It was rediculous. Things like that are why boxing can't pull itself out of the mud... Mayweather should be stripped of the worthless IBF title belt, and a rematch should be put on... As soon as possible. I gotta say, I really wanted to see Zab end Cry Baby Floyds little streak. Not that I have any more respect for Zab, after his little tantrum after the Tszyu fight in 2001. Either way, I am sure there will be a rematch, but I think the comission should strip Mayweather of the title. His camp put a whole lot of people in danger by the stunt they pulled.
Should mayweather been DQ'd

opposite of what he said. i could see saying take 1 point away for the low blow-MAYBE. but the head punch, im not blaming mayweather, but he turned on him.Originally posted by BiolinkNo.Zab should have been disqualified earlier for the lowblow and head punch.I have no idea what Richard Steele was doing the entire night
maywather should have probably had at least a point taken away.Comment

Mayweather should have been DQ if boxing rules were being followed.
According to Boxing Rules for this fight sanctioned in the State of Nevada when the fighter has a third man in the ring before the round is complete that fighter is automatically disqualified.
The State of Nevada is liable for not overturning the UD given to Mayweather. A "No Contest" may be able acceptable due to all of the cicumstances surrounding this incident.
The "fair" outcome was the UD in favor of Mayweather- he clearly won. However if the rules of boxing can be broken and not followed for the sake of fairness than get rid of the rules.
After the fight, the purses were suspended by Skip Avensino, the chairman of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, until videotape of the skirmish could be reviewed. Don King, Judah's promoter, intended to protest the results and urge a disqualification for Mayweather because of the actions of his uncle and trainer, Roger Mayweather, who jumped into the ring first.
"The fight was over when Roger Mayweather went onto the apron and into the ring," King said. "It was a total disqualification. The fighter had a third man in the ring. No matter how you look at it, the fighter is disqualified."
Floyd Mayweather was well on his way to a win on points before Judah sent Mayweather to the canvas with a left hook to Mayweather's groin and a right to the back of his head. Roger Mayweather, a former 140-pound fighter, crossed the ropes and attempted to challenge Judah, and members of both fighters' corners followed for several moments of chaos.
After the fight, King even showed a photograph of someone's hands around Judah's neck in the melee -- and King claimed it was Roger Mayweather.Comment

a NC would be fair, in another article i heard that they wont overturn the UD to a DQ loss cause so manny winnign tickets have been cashed, well they overturned james toney's win over ruiz to a NC cause of steroids and winnign tickets had been cashed for that fight already, i feel a NC is fair so as not to ruin floyds record even though he shoulda been DQ'd anyway u look at itComment

whether or not the lowblow was intentional he should get a warning just like everyone elseOriginally posted by Briman15Deliberate low blow rabbit punch combos are not part of boxing under the Marquis de Queensberry rulesComment

I dont think they will overturn the decision. That would mean Zab has lost his last two fights yet miraculously got to keep his IBF belt both times, which whatever the rules are is pretty ******. I think logic will prevail and say that Mayweather won the fight legitimately. It would be harsh to disqualify Mayweather for something he has absolutely no control over and took no part in.Comment
