This is a good fight, though Clottey seems to be the one on the receiving end of most of the punishment...
Round 7
Clottey comes out with 3 straight hands and comes out much more aggressive 2 punch combo through Judah's guard nice right hand from Clottey good body shot from Judah hs is real digging to Clottey's body Not much happening but as i said that HE JUST STUNNED JUDAH WITH AN UPPERCUT AND BANGS AWAY AT JUDAH ON THE ROPES JUDAH GETS AWAY AND LANDS VERY HARD LEFT UPPERCUT THAT STOPS CLOTTEY IN HIS TRACKS Clottey goes back to stalking very hard right hand from Clottey good round from Clottey he is breaking down Judah.
Clottey's round 4-3
Clottey rejects the hold attempt big time ,Man.Zab is getting welted up .Judah pot shotting with nice shots but little effect.Clottey needs to refind that stiff jab.Judah looks clutchy.
Zab is starting work CLottey. Zab looks much better from a couple of rounds ago. OH BOY! Clottey gets Zab in the corner. I think Zab is back to being tired/worn down. I don't know who to give that round to. Zab started out on fire...Clottey finished better.
I'll give it to Clottey cause his punches did more damage.
4-3 Clottey
This is about the time of the fight where Clottey usually has issues with stamina.
Clottey needs to go back to the body. Judah looking for the left uppercut and Clottey looking for the straight right. Clottey landing cleaner shots. WOW! Zab rocking Clottey in the corner! Clottey was in trouble!!
Judah stole the round. 4-4 even
Zab checking the clock on big screen lol.Clottey is going to hate himself In the AM if he does not double up output and cut em off.You are not going to outspeed Judah if you are Clottey.....nice burst end of round catches eyes?
Good flurry at the end from Judah, though it was mainly the body punches doing the damage.
That stareoff at the end...these guys plain don't like each other.
Clotteys best punches are straight rights in this fight.
judah win he best clottey slow man
I'm surprised Judah has held up as well as he has so far. But the tide is definitely turning. Please don't let the fight stop because of that clash of heads. Judah may be ahead and I--oh crap. Stoppage.
Judah does a Rahman....Judah answers three fingers and it was Two...Over!!!
edit...Nasty cut in fairness
ROUND 8
Judah only threw 27 punches in the last round signs of Judah slowing down and Clottey realizes it and comes out swinging and lands good shots to the head Judah's jab is totally gone where is it ? just as i said that he lands about 7 jabs in the round and lands good body shot nice straight right hand from Clottey good left hook from Clottey nice right hand from Clottey and a good left hook to the body and head from Clottey Judah isn't throwing enough punches and is getting outworked straight right hand to the body from Clottey solid jab from Judah WOW HE JUST STUNNED CLOTTEY WITH LEFT HAND AND BANGS AWAY AT CLOTTEY ON THE ROPES WITH BODY AND HEAD SHOTS CLOTTEY COMES BACK NOT ENOUGH TO STEAL THE ROUND FROM JUDAH.
4-4 Even
Round 9
Clottey comes out fast and lands solid right hands over and over impressed with Judah's determination hard right hand from Clottey on the inside Judah is cut bad on his right eye lid AND ITS RULED AS A CLASH OF HEADS THE DOCTOR SAYS SAY JUDAH CANT SEE THERE GOING TO THE SCORECARDS ??
Clottey landing the straight right often. Zab isn't doing much, just running. FIGHT STOPPED! They're going into the scorecards. I got it a draw.
Zab was acting, he thinks he ahead on the cards....always drama...
oooo on second thought that was a nasty cut...good stoppage. I didnt see if it was a headbutt or not.
If they score the partial round, Clottey obviously won the 9th. I have Clottey winning the fight...
Heres The Scorecards
Clottey Is Shocked He Thought He Won Lol
86-84 87-84 87-85 Clottey Wins And He Deserves It
I HAD CLOTTEY WINNING THE 9TH ROUND SO I THOUGHT HE WON THE FIGHT 5-4.
Looks like cut caused by uppercut on replay ??...Clottey gets tech win.....I think Judah put a bit of a show on.But oh well
Clottey wins. All is right with the world. They ruled it an accidental clash of heads and replay clearly shows Zab got scraped by an uppercut. Props to Judah- he wanted to continue.
I think Zab faked it too.Quote:

Well that was definately not going any furthur that eye was very badly cut. It was the uppercut, Judah saves face because I think he was in trouble. I thought it was a damn close fight though.
I think Zab was being a little optimistic in raising his hands for that scorecard.
Disappointing ending, I think Zab was trying to pull a Hasim.
To be honest I have no idea why Judah doesn't move back down to light welter he'd be world class down there all over again.
These guys are just too big for him.
That was no headbutt that was BS Judah was getting broke down and he looked for a way out i think Clottey edged it 5-4 he was on his way to stopping Judah late or wining a clear UD.
Yup, bang on that one, Clottey deserved to win it, and absolutely deserved to go out as the IBF champion. He was landing bigger shots and working a fair bit more, so justice served I think.
As for Judah...surely that is all she wrote for an interesting, never dull career?
Should have been a TKO off Cut caused by punch.Although Wish they could work it out that The corner gets at least one oppurtunity to work on it...
Clottey calls out Berto :fight: If No Margarito
Replay Showed It Was A Left Uppercut No Headbutt Pure Bs From Zab Judah Again.
I still like Zab, he fought a good fight. He could try for lww, if he doesnt wanna hang em up.

He'd beat anyone at 140 imo.
OOOOH Clottey and Berto would be pretty interesting! Hopefully the division eventually gets unified.
I'll give it to Zab, he found a great fight. I thought he was done but he came back and kept the fight close.
HAHAHA Zab was speechless! After the footage of the uppercut.
"Of course I won this fight...the whole arena thinks I won this fight...right fans?"
and 10 fans shout, "Yea!"
Judah...."See!"
a hahaha
Judah sporting his Elton glasses......Judah does a Rahman.Whines in the interview and grasping at straws :fight:
He kind of pussed out on that cut but, that was a serious cut. Bad cuts tonight, bloody night.
It's over for Judah. ESPN here he comes
I think the maximum capacity of the Palms arena is 22...LOLQuote:

With Zab Judah outboxing Joshua Clottey in the early rounds then Joshua Clottey starting to break down Zab Judah after about the 4th round........
The right man won the fight no matter how close you had it theres no doubt Joshua Clottey won the fight and he won 5-4 on my card.
"I see him holding me in the back of the head, I see him hitting me in the kidneys." Lol gotta love the Zab comments. Clottey was a bit rough but I wouldnt say dirty. Zab also hit him low a couple times, turn about is fair play.
Clottey / Berto would be solid right now.Handspeed .....Ohh 'Generation Kill' good Showz
Well, now Teddy and Joe will have someone to interview every week ringside, hahahaha.
Always drama with Judah; can't stand that dude. What a rousing ovation he got when he played to the crowd:rolleyes: All of 7 people cheered, 4 of them from his corner.
