Zab Judah now works as a Nursing Assistant!

It's worse, now 42 he's fighting Cletus Seldin tomorrow night for something called a NABA title .

Long live the chicken dance

I’m actually interested a little in this fight. Seldin is one of those guys who looks good against bad fighters. Once he steps up at all, he loses. I’m wondering if he is on a high enough level to beat Zab at this point. I guess it depends how bad Zab is now.

Yeh I hear ya, can't find it being aired though. Link might pop up somewhere. Seldin might get it on sheer physicality and some headbutts. Not long ago Lampley and HBO were trying to make him the next Gatti then reality set in.

Me think it to USA PPV. Crazy me see game may either way

Eh ? He's fighting tonight in New York against Cletus Seldin

[El Kabong]

While I hate it for Zab that he's lost money I'm happy that he's found a job and is doing something useful (potentially rewarding in more than a monetary sense) with his life and I hope that career goes well for him.

Bad news. Hopefully he mends and moves on. There was no need to be fighting at this stage. Too inactive and old. It's no game.

Watching it now, first two rounds fill out. Judah pumping the jab a lot, but no authority to them. At end of 3rd I think? Judah clocked, almost did the chicken dance, but bell saved him

Sorry fight. Zab constantly backed up, then when he is in the center of ring, just clinching taking punishment. A guy named Cletus is switch hitting on Judah Southpaw to Orthadox. Every time crowd tries to get by Zab & holler Judah, Cletus brings the fight to him.

Ref stops fight to put Seldin mouthpiece in and spends about 15 seconds looking for it ! That's when Cleefus, Cleotis whatever his name is brought the pain and started snapping Zab's head back Does another rendition of his famous chicken dance, falls against the ropes where the ref stops it.

Ring card girls were tight, but this was one sorry fight. Zab can't box, can't evade, has no aggression. Throws one left at a time. Way too predictable.

Kal Yafai on Twitter saying that Judah suffered a bleed on the brain, but there seems to be very little news on it?
Fucking baffles me that to get your Pro licence, you have to jump through a million hoops , and rightly so.
But once you’ve got your licence, you can fight no matter whether you’re fit to or not.
I’m not saying there was anything untoward specifically in this case, but he’s 41 years old and clearly fighting out of desperation. Sometimes people need to be saved from themselves.
This has got tragedy written all over it.

Apparently it isn't as serious as first thought, he had a bleed on the brain but it went down, he's not been placed into an induced coma and he has been up talking and eating today.

Good to hear. While its always sad to hear about former champs fighting on too long and getting hurt, there isnt much that can be amended to stop it from happening. Im sure Judah was fit to fight, has no prior history of any brain trauma that I know of, and beforehand most wouldnt have seen any problem, it was a fine competitive fight on paper. It is crazy how it seems a theme for these very talented guys who were seen as lacking grit or determination at their peak, to start facing the big risks and taking their licks only once they are physically shot. Judah really impressed me years ago with his efforts against Matthyse and Garcia, showed exactly the kind of stuff people thought he didnt have in his day. Roy Jones was another one, when he was a freak and atop the sport he fought a bunch of clowns, then well after hes finished takes fights like Lebedev in Russia etc. Just goes to show how hard it must be for these guys to accept its over.

Well said. Sounds like Judah dodged a bullet and surely his final fight.
