Mayweather vs Judah...the after thoughts...
My my my...what a difference a day makes.
Well people...here's my opinions on the fight...you can take them or leave them...like em or don't.
Personally...I quite enjoyed the match between Floyd and Judah.
I was pleasantly surprised with Judah's abilities for once & I honestly thought that he took it to Floyd for about the first five rounds...but that's it. I honestly thought that Floyd was showing a bit too much respect with Judah...but then again...this is only Floyd's second showing at 147 & Judah is known to have the ability to crack.
Who am I to make excuses for a man that won? Well...I'm a Floyd fan...& fans generally make excuses for their fighter when he loses...but I honestly want to make some excuses for the win...or the way that Floyd won against Judah...
Personally...I got a wee bit pissed the fwock off about a few things...so let me start:
Firstly...the way that Floyd handled himself in the last round. Sticking his chin out...trying to prove to the world, Judah, & Floyd's detractors that he does have a chin & the ability to take a shot...what the hell was that. He's proved that shat time & time again by getting hit by foes such as Castillo, Corrales, & of late Gatti. It was just plain ignorant. That's my main issue with the fight...
Oh yeah...& then there was the low blow & the riot that insued seconds after Roger Mayweather jumped into the ring.
Second of all...anyone that thinks that Zab Judah is a champion is just deluding their selves. Judah is a piece of trash. He always has been...he always will be. Sorry people but that's a fact. He's a classless bum that is a poor reflection of our sport.
Judah was doing quite well over the first five rounds & then Floyd comes on & starts tagging himself & this idiot starts acting a fool as usual. Waiving his hands & trying to make a spectacle of himself & fluster Floyd...whom...to his credit didn't fall for that bit. Truthfully...I can't understand people that buy into Judah...but then again...I am sure there are those that can't stomach Floyd. No biggie. Actually...I'd be lying if I let it stand at that. What kind of fighter get's frustrated, loads up, takes aim, & nails his opponent in the balls? I mean come on...who does that? He was headed straight for an ass whipping & he tried to bring Floyd down a notch by landing a power punch to the groin. He did that very thing. Again...excuses excuses...but Floyd was about to stop Judah & Judah knew it. Anyone that argues different...again...your'e clearly deluding yourselves. I watched the fight immediately after it stopped on tape. I watched it again this morning...& that was the most well timed...well aimed deliberate nut shot that I have ever seen in the sport of boxing. Do like I did. Kick back & watch the tape. What makes it even worse? An even more deliberate punch to the back of the head that I refuse to call a rabbit punch because he dropped it with such conviction that had he been brandishing a sledge hammer he could have cracked concrete.
I was sickened.
Immediately afterwards...after I was up & out of my compu chair almost spilling my drink...in comes Floyd’s uncle & trainer Roger Mayweather saying god only knows what to Judah. Believe me. I was shocked...but not surprised. Roger's got a hell of a lot of love for Floyd...but that don't make it anymore right than Judah bashing Floyd in the balls. I understand what he did...I honestly can't say that I wouldn't have done the same...but it ruined the fight for me. Truly.It could have ruined the night for Floyd...but Floyd remained composed & that's what counts...but then again...he was not himself & it showed with the remainder of his performance.
My problem is this...a fight of this caliber...this magnitude...with that many viewers...how bad does that make boxing look? As starved as we are for network support...hell for global respect...did we really need that shat?
Not really...no we didn't. All at once...it was shocking, dramatic, enraging, & almost hillarious to me when it happened...but to a first time viewer of Mayweather & all the amazing things that he can do...well...it was just the opposite. My wife had never sat down & watched Floyd. She was impressed with what he did...but when the riot broke out...she was appalled & the first thing that left her mouth pertained to "what a bunch of thuggish clowns those idiots were that came into the ring."
That included everyone from Floyd's corner.
Also...it was a bit hard to explalin to her why they threw Roger out of the arena & not Judah's thug life army that came in directly after Judah's dad popped the first shot off? Everyone's focusing on Roger...but again...watch tape. Judah's camp throws the first blows...Roger's just blowing off steam. Roger actually did nothing more than run his mouth. Someone else from Floyd's corner was in the middle of the ring when the punches got thrown & Zab's ignorant ass was the one that hit first. In the end...they all acted like a bunch of fwockin idiots...but Judah pulled this shat out of frustration & that's what brings me back to my point...the kid is trash. Just trash.
Again...in the end...I was displeased with the way that Floyd fought the rest of the fight...I wanted him to crush Judah...but he did'nt...I'm not so sure that it was that he couldn't...but we will never know.
Anyone that wants a rematch...again....your'e deluding yourselves...Mayweather would beat him again...this time only without the bullshat.
In the end...I thought Judah did well by showing skills...but only for the first 4-5 rounds of the fight...I even applauded him & his fans...but after that...once Floyd started being Floyd...Judah became Judah...& there is nothing "super" about that.
I was honestly thrilled that Floyd did make Judah look ordinary...but honestly...I think that it one of Floyd's worse showings...then again...how can you tell with such a gargantuan amount of stupidity involved?
Again...generally the case with Judah.
Good fight, glad it's over...
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
