Kostya Tszyu, now the undisputed
Junior Welterweight champion, won the biggest fight of his life to this point
and proved his tremendous punching power by knocking out talented Zab Judah.
Tszyu was stunned a few different times in the first round by Judah, but
kept coming at Judah in the 2nd round and caught him with a huge right hook.
Referee Jay Nady quickly stopped the fight after Judah struggled to get up
and with the controversy surrounding the stoppage, there will no doubt be
a demand for a rematch, but don't expext one. People had to twist Tszyu's
arm to get him in the first time, I just don't see it happening again.
Also, Tszyu said after the fight that Judah said winner takes all and that
means no rematch. Since Judah, Tszyu beat up on two older, but
solid fighters in Ben Tackie and Jesse James Lejia. |
