Tyson Fury Is Not The Only Boxer To Punch Himself In The Face: GIF Spotlight

On the sixteenth of July, 2010, Zab Judah matched Jose Armando Santa Cruz on ESPN and stopped him in the second round. Before stopping him, he put him down with arguably his best punch, the left uppercut. The punch and fall looked like a dramatic sequence for the highlight reels, but upon further review, and slow motion replay, Zab does indeed punch himself right in the face. Yet Tyson Fury is always the one who gets picked on for this undoubtedly complicated maneuver. He is the Charlie Brown of uppercutting yourself in the face. Why's everybody always pickin' on him? Granted, Judah is more skilled and managed to crack two people flush but that's the way it is at the lighter weights. They're always more athletic and coordinated!

Zab Judah Throws His Stool at Referee Jay Nady: GIF Spotlight

On the third of November, 2001, Zabdiel Judah and Kostya Tszyu fought a massive unification bout at Light Welterweight on Showtime. After a sharp first round by Judah, Tszyu found the button with his right hand and put Judah down hard. An inexperienced Judah stood up immediately, wobbled and stumbled back down. Referee Jay Nady called it there and Judah rushed to his feet again to convince Nady he was alright, unsteadily going backward as he did so, with Nady holding his gloves to keep him upright.

The rest of the broadcast focused on the immature future lineal welterweight champion and possible HOF'er throwing an enormous tantrum while his father, Yoel Judah, security guards and others, tried their best to calm him down and keep him from going after Nady, who had a security presence in front of him for a bit as well, as unconcerned as Nady seemed. Zab even put his gloved hand on the far larger Ref's throat and threw his stool at him. Maybe he didn't throw the stool at him, maybe he just threw it, period. With the condition Judah was in, I'm only glad when I say 'stool' that I mean the furniture you sit on. Because Zab was just that out of his mind on the night!
