Smokin, I think from what some commentators were saying there is no standing 8 count in fights in Nevada. I could be corrected on that, though.
The standing 8 count has nothing to do with a knockdown.
In any jurisdiction, should a fighter go down, and gets up before 10, he is given untill the count reaches 8 before it will continue.
The guy who commented about the standing 8 count in Nevada is right about that, but wrong because he is applying it to the wrong scenario. The standing 8 count rule refers to the fight being stopped during the actual bout, to give a fighter an 8 count. That is a stupid rule, and should be gotten rid of.
It doesnt take a boxing fan to know that when you go down, you have 10 seconds to make it up.
Zab was given 2, thats all.
I think the ref erred - Im not saying Judah would have been able to continue, he COULD have - maybe, but you have to at least give him the opportunity to beat the count, especially in a fight of that magnitude.
