Well we all talked about what would happen to Zab Judah and it finally has...

Zab Judah will be making his return on April 27....

ON ESPN!!!!! ;D

saw it on fightnews....quite a drop to come from Showtime, HBO and PPV to ESPN. If I recall last, the last time he was on ESPN was when he beat Mickey Ward..

Not that long ago? ;)

Anyway, I wonder if they are going to have the 10 minute segment they have for other fighters ;)

I would rather like to watch them reflect on him hitting Floyd in the groin ;D

wow zab hasfallen off but to tell u the truth he needs that and yeah that reflection would be quite a storyl ests hear him comment

he'll be right back on showtime or HBO if he has a good performance.

I dont think training is an issue with Zab I think he needs to get mentally prepared, everyone talks about "Zab is training harder then ever" Zab always in shape, he just never mentally does it.

He never will....not with good opposition. After the first 4 rounds of the PBF fight I was looking at his eyes, waiting to see him lose the focus. He did and he lost......but he looked fantastic in those first 4 rounds and he was faster than PBF and he also outboxed him.

Then he lost the fight once he lost his head as always.

Can't be, because up until his dad was training him he was focused for every round

Yeah man. I don't like his pops training him. He's probably more ignorant than Zab is.

Yoel isn't ignorant. But Zab likes comfort in getting away with stuff on a "pops son" level.

Like any other trainer would MAKE Zab do stuff. His dad's logic is "Zab is already a complete fighter, let him figure it out in the ring all I can do is give instruction" Kind of like what Jack Mosley did with Shane that eventually caught up to him(like in the Forrest fight where he didnt know what to do) know what I mean?

Zabs pops is ignorant IMO. There are times that he's the one that instigates Zabs stupid moves.

As I said it before Zab is a has been.
His career can R.I.P.

agreed.. ! Zab will beat some of these espn fighters , but he won't beat the top level guys. Zab just to weak mentally . and his chin is poor. also he like to pose to much after he lets off a flurry, rather then stay in the pocket and keep the punches going. O0

It's no surprise I despise the guy, but that aside I just don't see him being able to get focused and wining a title again. And when I say wining a title thats exactly what I mean, not given one.... ;)

He just doesn't have it in him anymore to train and get in the gym, hes used to just laying back now and living off what he can from his name.....

He should just stick to clubbing and playing celebrity poker.... Anybody else catch him the other night playing Hold'em on tv?

Said it many times before he has the attention span of a 2 yr. old. ;)

I dont think his career is over, just as a world champ it is. He can still beat 95% of the guys out there. He shows no sign of being in the ring too long

My prediction is that Zab will fight well in his return and win another world title.

If Zab was any other fighter than yeah, his career is pretty much over. But since Zab Lee is the IBF's favorite son, than I very easily see them handling him a title on a silver platter for the third time.

Zab needs to get rid of Yoel, he's fucking horrible. That air punch shit he does, that's all he ever does when Zab comes back to the corner, you need to "bam, bam, bam", jumping around like he's on speed.

He also needs to be matched right, he can beat a lot of guys but he's always a question mark, should have never even come close to losing to Baldo but he did. Look at the Pineda fight, he's always a question mark, but he does have talent.

So he can beat 95 % of the guys out there but you doubt he can pick up another alphabet title?

I am about 90% certain ab will become champ again within about a year or a year n a half..

Most champs out there at the mo arent shit..
And you guys forget..Just because you dont like zab.. Doesnt mean you can deny he is an incredibly skilled fighter..
I personally look forward to his comeback..He'll pick himself back up.. I think he'll probably be back on showtime within a year.. soon as he gets in with the big boys again they will want to show him again..
But i doubt hbo will take him up again..
