Ref throws towel back out!

This was poor refereeing, this is why boxing sometimes cops a bad rap because of the macho thing.
Earl was never going to win this fight and that was evident from round one.
Imagine if Jay Nady had not stopped the Tszyu v Judah fight.
Could you imagine the damage that would have been done to Judah if it went into a third round!!
Zab Judah owes his life to Jay Nady.

I wouldn't say that. Zab was knocked down near the end of the 2nd. He was on rubbery legs, but he was aware. It's possible in that 60 seconds he could have recovered and went on to dominate Kostya.

But at the same time I really didn't have a problem with the stoppage.

This happens more regularly than I'd thought at first.

The fight can only be stopped by the ref , doctor or the fighter in most modern rules.

It happened in the Danny Willimas fight recently also.

In the first Abraham Miranda fight.

I completely disagree..

Judah's inexperiance and immaturity cost him that fight and if he had of taken a knee he wouldnt have gotten stopped.. Zab did well in the first round and before that tzsyu punch the fight wasnt a white wash.. it was just the legs.. he got up too soon, didnt have his whits about him and it cost him the fight.. i honestly dont even think it was a murderous punch..
