Zab Judah: Micky Ward, Not Mayweather, was My Hardest Fight - I Begged My Dad to Stop It (Part 2) 

“You was the best out of all them” “Nah I just went the furthest” Like how he ain’t shit on his brothers

it says a lot about his character that he chose not to flex on his brothers and said he wasn’t the best just went the furthest

It is refreshing to hear a boxer talk about how hurt he was and how he intentionally avoided the guy around the ring. A lot of boxers won't admit they were hurt no matter what. Good segment.

Zab: "He broke my ribs!" His Dad: "Use your other ribs!" 😂😂😂

Zab was in a era full of nasty killers in his weight class

I like that he's honest and humble about wanting to stop the fight and running away. Most people would never admit to this. He keeping it 💯

He's so humbled towards his brothers. he said he wasn't the best he just went the farthest 👌

Mickey ward is a perfect example of a fighter who perfected a punch. His left to the body was just an incredible punch

Met Zab a few times in Vegas, he's truly a stand up guy, hands dwn!

"Use your other ribs" is the sickest thing ever said to a kid 🤣🤣

"I didn't do the best, I went 4the furthest..." Humble. New respect 4 him.

For a guy who got serious head trauma he still has all his faculties. No slurred speech. Still has his memory and intelligence. God bless him.

Zabs counter uppercut was VICIOUS

Vlad manipulates his guest into saying something that can cause controversy but Zab seeing thru this clown

*”I break bread, ribs and hundred dollar bills” - Prodigy*

Zab you won me over. The way boxing portrays you is totally opposite of who you seem now. You are truly inspirational.

Mickey Ward vs Arturo Gatti were the greatest boxing matches I've ever seen. RU-vid that shit if you love boxing.

Picking the wife out some flowers a few years ago, I ran into Zab at a flower shop just outside of Detroit. No one in there seemed to recognize him other than me. Dude was extremely laid back to the staff and other customers as we waited for our orders. When he left I told everyone who he was and as a lady confirmed it was him after looking his name up online. As unassuming he was to them, it made me realize how much of a nightmare he'd be for an unsuspecting wannabe tough guy.

I see no FAKENESS from zab judah

I was at the Zab vs Floyd fight. He dominated the first 2 rounds. Celebrities were in abundance. Then years later I ran into him coming out of the club in Encore in Vegas. I was faded and rolled right up to him mouthing the words "Zab Judah" lol. His people moved out the way and his eyes widened. In retrospect I almost got KO'd stiff coming out the club. I walked up and gave him dap and told him, you're the only person that knocked Floyd down. That was not a slip. He smiled back and thanked me. My favorite fighter ever. Had the most natural talent: speed, power, and a south paw. He was born to box. God bless another favorite son of Brownsville, Brooklyn. Zab "Super" Judah. Good looking out Vlad!

Yo Zab got me dying 😂 if you gotta dad like his, you know EXACTLY what he's saying

Mickey Ward was a true ring warrior and gave everyone a tough fight

zab is so real and has great stories and insight .NEVER a dull interview with him

Nothing but love for Zab. Seen him in on the strip in Vegas and he shook me up with No hesitation. Dude was an animal inside the squared circle. God Bless Zab! 🥊💥🥊💥

“Dad stop the fight!” “Sorry son, imma let him whoop yo ass like I never could.”

" he broke yo rib?! Use the other one!" Lmao!

This side of Zab is what the world needs to see...funny, articulate, compassionate, humble, insightful...just a good dude..

Every Mickey Ward fight was tough. His fights against Arturo Gatti were real meat grinders.

I wish my grandpa was alive he would love this interview lol

This is hilarious. Man I'm riding with this interview already.

Zab in a hushed tone, "stop the fight, stop the fight". 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm crying ova here!!!

At one point in Zab’s career Max Kellerman compared him to Pernell Whitaker and Mike Tyson. Crazy combination but he was truly gifted with his speed and power.

Do more Boxer Interviews Please!!!!This would be Legendary!!!!

Lol I use to be washin people with Micky Ward on Fight Night, he was a beast

This is a good light hearted story......it's rare when one of the best and toughest boxers out there can express himself like that

Judah told the truth about starting the pros in regards to no head gear, no shirt, smaller gloves, and especially the crowd. Alot of these dudes who talk so much sh!t about fighters and who've never worn a boxing glove in real competition have no idea how much balls it takes to get to the top of the sport; let alone get inside of a boxing ring.

I’m glad Zab doing well. He was one of my favourite fighter growing up.

I like how he describes the “deer in headlights” feeling under the lights of his first pro fight

one of the most honest, thoughtful and hilarious interviews on Vlad TV

Wards left hook to the body was devastating. Broken many ribs with that punch and where most of his knockouts came from

Zab.... such an honest refreshing guy. Great champion. Love this kid.

Bruh I keep forgetting Zab dad was Yoel Judah, omg !!!!! His dad was a bad ass when I was growing up. He was in the era as Benny the Jet, The Flying Gentleman ect... father and son where both legends

Every time I see a Zab “Super” Judah interview I start to appreciate his contributions to boxing much more.

Zab is a pleasure to listen to. What a change. Good for you, champ.

I’m just so proud and happy the man can walk away with riches fame and most importantly “HEALTH” I love to see him sane and healthy after everything he went through his whole career. Zap is my fav and til this day I cheer him on against the Mayweather replay.

Even if you dont like boxing you should RU-vid Mickey Ward vs Arturo Gatti...🥊🔥

Zab’s impression of his dad is so hilarious and spot on!! Me and my friends used to get a kick out of Yoel in the corner and how animated and fired up he would be dropping f bombs! 😂 great stuff. I met zab years later at a fight he was promoting in the area of Mississippi not long after hurricane katrina. I thanked them for putting on a boxing show for entertainment at the time people were still hitting and cleaning and rebuilding their properties. Zab was very approachable, gracious and humble. Cool Dude.

God’ bless Zab such a good real interview

Zab has come a long way. I've followed his carrier and he was always too emotional. He looks good and he's been giving real and honest interviews. Still sounds clear headed. I wish him a long and safe life. Thanks for the fireworks!!

I met Zab at a karate tournament in ‘99 at Bronx community college. He was spectating signing posters. Good dude. Much respect

Just watched that fight on RU-vid. Zab is real one. He kept it super-real on that body shot and running. Just saw it about midway through round 8. It was a pretty hard body shot too.

I saw Mickey Ward lose 9 rounds in a 10rd fight and stop the guy in the 9th round. He was a brutal body-puncher. Zab description is halarious.

This interview cracks me up every time he speaks about the Mickey Ward fight. 😅 Shout out to Zab.

Floyd was a schooling more so than a beat down. But up to that point Zab was one of the 1st people to have some success vs Floyd. The 1st 3(maybe even the 4th) rounds Zab did his thing.

R.I.P. Parnell Whitaker ! True boxing legend ! He was a serious problem out here !

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! This is classic!! Love the candidness Zab!! I love this!!! And after hearing the story, I could see why he’d say it was his toughest fight even though he won. Floyd never hurt him badly, he just outboxed and out pointed him. I had no idea he wanted to stop the Ward fight. These are things you’d never think about from the outside looking in. I actually saw that Ward fight and remember him being hurt and moving around. Zab is a legend in my hometown of NYC. I followed his entire career. Great clip here. Love it. Much respect Zab...

This was a dope interview Zab was one of and still one of my favorites I was crushed when he took his first loss to the zoo and he was doing so well that fucking knockout but this interview out a big smile and laugh in my face and y’all know I’m going to watch these fights now

Zab is giving us insight into how it really goes down in the boxing corner.

I could listen to Zab all day. Glad he retired intact. Keep smiling my brother 😀

This is a great interview.

He's painting the story of a boxer from the inside. It's very interesting how he speaks. He's very humble now too respect.

That Micky Ward story has just made me a fan of Zab 😂 👍

One of the best interviews I've ever seen. Nuff respect to Zab

Hey, what a lovely guy. Its refreshing to hear such honesty.

LoL I like how he willing to admit he was ready to quit 😂🦾

Zab: He broke my ribs! Zabs Dad: I dont give a shit about your ribs you know what I'm saying? Use your other ribs. (8:33)

Too funny. Never wouldn’t imagined Zab was so Humble.........Love this

Excellent interview! Im a Zab fan all over again!!!

Micky ward was the goat on fight night 😭😂 the memories

The punch came in the 8th. It was right in the middle of the round. When he got hit in the ribs, Zab left his elbow there. He also started to take a knee but stopped bending. But he's right about running the rest of the round. The sequence happens right at 1:58 left of the 8th Rd (the punch connects exactly at 1:55 left).

One of the best interviews. Shoutout to Zab! Talk about a straight shooter. Wow.

The second part of this interview got me howling lmaooooo. I love how real he kept it though

Vlad you need to interview “Irish” Mickey Ward.

Wow didn’t know Zab was this humble.

Zabs speed was always freakishly wicked. Crazy explosive power. True legend

Its amazing how humble and gracious he has become. Hes kinda like Tyson. He was a crazy wild champion from Brooklyn with kind of a bad reputation and now hes humble and wise, and... great.

The Legendary Zab Judah‼️

LOVE boxing but damn i HATE seeing the damage it does to them...

Yo I just had tears rolling down my face that story about him and ward and zabs dad was one of the funniest story I have ever heard 😂

Great interview

His prank on the dude talking shit about him was hilarious 😂

" did he hit you in the kidney " Vlad trying to act like he can relate and failing as always. This was even after dude said Mickey was destroying people with that liver punch.

This was a good one. Respect for Zab and Ward both.

Great Interview thank you

"Use your other ribs." 😅😂😂

Juda: “He broke my ribs” Dad: “fuckk them ribs, use your other ribs!!” Me: 🤣 😂 😆 lol

One of the best interviews ever on here!!!! Zab is hilarious 😂

What a great insight. Zab just gone up big in my estimation. Top man

Never get to hear fighters talk about the pain of it I’ve hit and been hit in the liver in a fight it’s no joke but he was hit by a pro and that was his signature punch and fought through it even tho he wanted to quit ZAB SUPA JUDAH one of the greats.

Who here is going back to watch the highlights of the Mickey Ward Fight after this!!

Awesome interview.. Great job Champ.

Have never heard Zab speak before but I’m a fan now. He’s a class act. My respect to you Zab

Maaan, I'm so shocked at how humble, honest and likeable he seems to be....During his prime, all I saw from him other than the talent was the typical cockiness and trash talking that we seem to see in so many boxers over the years....Stoke for this full interview...

8:38 LOL. I've never heard that before. "Use your other rib"

That was funny as hell 🤣 Thank you legend, inspiring 🙏

Zab is a mindful speaker. He puts thought to everything he says. Stand up for sure.

These are the type of interviews Vlad should do not low level rappers who incriminate themselves in interviews

"use ya other ribs" Zab Judah's Pops

The Gatti vs Ward Trilogy is what boxing is all about. 2 dudes going all out. Straight sluggin it out

Nice interview
