Mayweather outpoints Judah for IBF crown

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Floyd Mayweather Jr. couldn’t be beaten by the best or the worst of Zab Judah, but it could take days for regulators to unravel the nonsense that erupted in a fight within this title fight.

Mayweather claimed Judah’s IBF welterweight title belt Saturday with a unanimous 12-round decision, remaining unbeaten and winning a championship in his fourth weight class, despite a 10th-round scuffle between trainers and support staff from both camps after Judah hit Mayweather with two illegal blows.

Don King, Judah’s promoter, intended to protest the results and urge a disqualification for Mayweather because of the actions of his uncle and trainer, Roger Mayweather, who jumped into the ring first.

After the fight, the purses were suspended by Skip Avensino, the chairman of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, until videotape of the skirmish could be reviewed.

"The fight was over when Roger Mayweather went onto the apron and into the ring," King said. "It was a total disqualification.

"The fighter had a third man in the ring. No matter how you look at it, the fighter is disqualified."

Floyd Mayweather was well on his way to a win on points before Judah sent Mayweather to the canvas with a left hook to his groin and a right to the back of his head.
