It was great to see him beat Zab Judah by TKO in the 2nd round and become the undisputed Junior Weltreweight champion of the world. There was some controversy at the stoppage but in my opinion the Ref made the right choice.

Damn i forgot to post the result when i got back from the pub!!! :(

Yeah ... knocked Judah into next week at the end of the 2nd.

Judah came out blastin in the 1st Rd and both fighters were standoffish in the 2nd then .... WHAM!!! Judah tried to get up then fell on his arse again.

It was over in a flash.

Liked KT's response to a rematch .... "in the press-conference ... he (Judah) said it was all or nothing" He won baby!!! :D

2 rounds? Doesn't that suck for all the people who have paid between $31.95 and $42.95 to get it live on pay per view?

I know I'd feel ripped off?:rolleyes:

Glad to see Australia again has a boxer that has real class.

Tszyu may go onto prove himself the best boxer to come out of Australia (well at least the bext boxer with an Australia passport).

Love to see Kostya blow "the man" away.
Same here. I think that's the only boxing match I'll ever watch.

Judah got iced!!

ok, I had $150 on Zab - and defensively was doing a good job, and had a good first round, but -

a fighter is only one punch away from disaster!

How was the Judah Dance!! haha

I feel he deserved to be give the count, I dunno if he woulda made it, but it woulda stopped the uproar!

And if things got out of hand after the fight, Id be jumping on the Judah bandwagon! LOL

He walked in with hangers on of the likes of Tyson, Rahman, Joppy and Vargas!:eek:

Dunno about the undisputed bit, Judah was sure as hell disputing it!! LOL

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.

Hell, 2 rounds is more than most boxing fans have been getting lately.

Cheers

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.

Haha we all know what your like at the fights and I'm glad you lost all that money betting on Judah-you bloody traitor. j/k.

Seriously though I thought Kostya had no hope after that first round, the handspeed of Zab was incredible.
