Amir Khan vs. Zab Judah fight thread - for July 23rd

[chinchekked]

Unfortunately I was not able to watch the fight tonight but my brother who is Judah nuthugger is pissed off with Judah right now. So it must have been pretty bad, I can't wait to catch a replay

[marbleheadmaui]

They give you standing 8-counts when you take an illegal low blow? Thats news to me, Zab.

Shameful display by Zab, he was getting completely outclassed and quit, simple as that.

That's what I saw.

Thanks guys!

Like Mosley, Judah's hand speed is just a myth these days. It no longer exists

Not only Would morales make a better fight .... He'd beat zab's ass too to earn it

I'm still not totally sold on Khan - when Maidana finally realized that throwing a looping right hand against a guy moving to his left might work he almost stopped him - but he's a handful because of his athletic ability. And he's just going to get better technically under Roach. Bradley could certainly beat him but he'll have a field day against the rest of the guys in the division.

I think Alexander or Mathssye would be the biggest threats to Khan at 140, though I don't think either beats him.

Aside from his determination, I don't see anything in Bradley that would trouble Khan - he's not exceptionally fast, he doesn't hit hard, and he has leaky defense. Khan would walk him into punches all night.

Kahn oughtta stay busy, fight Alexander AND Mathysse before the end of the year and position himslef so that either Floyd or Manny has to fight him.

In today's sport? The kid has ENDLESS upside.

Schaefer (however you spell it) was hinting towards morales (if he wins) in decemeber then a fight in UK before going for Mayweather. The way he made it out it's one more fight then move up he said somthing along the lines of theres nothing left for Khan to do at 140 if Bradley won't fight him

Eh, I think Alexander has reached the highest levels he'll reach. Khan would have nothing to worry about against him.

I agree that style wise Bradley could have some problems with Khan because he doesn't have big power but he wouldn't put in a non-effort like Judah did and like Devon would and I don't think he has leaky defense. I would pick Khan over Bradley but some guys Khan would have trouble with (Maidana, Matthyssee) Bradley would school horribly. He's a more complete fighter IMO.

Bradley's well-rounded, but I don't think he has the tools to trouble Khan.

Alexander is a fast boxer who I think could match Khan's handspeed and hit him with shots he doesn't see coming. While he would rightfully be a huge dog, Matthysse, from what I've seen, has the type of timing and power that could beat Khan.

I don't think anyone at 140 beats Khan though. He's only going to get better.

Why do they keep saying Zab was the best opponent of Khans career. I think that was Maidana.

[fan johnny]

I expect Khan to move of the hypothetical (proverbial, ha!) P4P list.

to make the win seem more significant than it really was?....

Dido!

[OumaFan]

At this point Maidana although Maidana is nothing special. His performance against Khan was incredibly frustrating (throw a fucking lead right hand) and he was lucky to get the win over Morales.

Khan makes good adjustments, nice win. Lucas got him too though

Khan if you think Judahs a better fightr than Tim Bradley right now your smoking rock son

I agree with this, Judah, isn't and never has been on the same level as Bradley, and if Khan really believes that he's going to have a rude awakening if he ever gets in the ring with Bradley.

The Bradley-Khan fight needs to get put together ASAP.

I'd like to see Bradley take on Maidana.

don't you say that, don't you fucking well say that - I swear I will ban anyone here who puts him on a p4p list!

Even McCullough says zab quit!

I dont know, but obviously he's not as quick as he was now he's 33? He just didn't do very much, couple of times he threw a double jab, head/body pushed Khan back then just stopped, waited for Khan to come forward and then backed off looking to counter again. It was pretty annoying .
