Everyone always fanning out when it comes to the pure pugilism.
They know what time it is.

You always give a champion a chance to recover. On top of it, it was literally the end of the round
If you want to go by that logic, technically you can stop every fight when a Boxer goes down

It’s a good point and in big fights refs really need to take into account the occasion. Eg Tsyzu two weeks ago for example, that fight could and probably should have been stopped much earlier.
That being said Zab fell over moving forward after getting up, I don’t know if there’s many, if any refs that are going to allow that fight to go on after that. He looked terrible, maybe the most iconic stumble in boxing history.

Nah, I've seen too many fights where the fighter looked completely OUT of it, eyes rolling back, etc. And the ref allowed them to get themselves composed after a knockdown, and that same fighter went on the knock the other guy out or win by decision. Nigel Benn being completely out against McClennan, Larry Holmes looking completely out vs Earnie Shavers, Chico Corrales vs Castillo, etc
To me the logic is straightforward. It was the end of the 2nd round. See if Zab is capable enough to weather the storm and continue fighting. If he isn't, stop it in the 3rd round. Simple

These are all valid points, but it's all with the advantage of hindsight.
In the moment Judah got popped on the jaw, gets up and with a cocked arm points and tries to mumble something to the ref, stumbles forward under his own weight and collapses like a drunkard.
They don't let you keep going usually when that happens.

he didn't just go down
He went down awkwardly, got up, and was doing some weird ass shyt with his hands on wobbley legs before falling down again lol. You act like that's something that has been seen before loll he wasnt on planet earth at that moment.
It's on Zab for getting up so fast and not taking the count. It's his responsibilty to prove to the ref he's good.

People made fun of Bud for facing Benevidez, but here you had Danny Garcia going LIFE AND DEATH with the same fighter
Such is life

shyt, Trevor Berbick fell 67 times against Mike Tyson and the ref still gave him a chance to recover lol
Can't unsee that lol
