And this is the same yusaf that impressed in his showing versus top supermiddle weight fighter librado andrade..?
Why would Yusaf take a fight with a bigger guy with so little reward and so much risk?.. I think Daniel judah is inconsistant but is surrounded by great people and could have some great fights in him just for those reasons..
The fight is at 175lbs and it is for the NABA belt
Has anyone seen this James Moore kid on the undercard? He any good?
I look forward to Mack / Judah.
I am gonna go with Judah
He's solid but hasn't been overly impressive. Very solid technically, doesn't have overwhelming power or speed. Hasn't been tested too hard but just won a decision over J.C. Candelo, who is pretty much shot.Quote:

I got Mack.
Damn baseball, They are not broadcasting the fights here, can someone do a rbr?
Me or Spicoli' will probably do a RBR. Mine suck though, so baseball might be better:D

YOU ALL KNOW I LIKE MACK!!
Is James Moore the one who fought Macklin? That was a very good fight but I don't think all that much of Moore, seems OK I would actually like to see him and Duddy that would be entertaining. I thought he fought on the Hatton undercard though?
No that was Jamie Moore.Quote:

Yusaf Mack plans run to light-heavy title
Before Yusaf Mack fought Librado Andrade in October, his manager, Rory Donadio, contacted John Tandy in England, seeking a fight plan.
"Obviously, he didn't follow the plan," Tandy said of Mack, who was stopped on a seventh-round TKO despite dropping Andrade in the first round.
Tandy has stopped advising Mack long distance and has come to the U.S. to take a hands-on approach. He is working with Mack at the COMBATT gym in Newark to help him prepare for a 10-round light heavyweight match against Daniel Judah (22-2-3, 10 KOs) at Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, on ESPN's "Wednesday Night Fights" on June 4.
Mack (24-2-2, 15 KOs) had climbed the super middleweight ladder and was poised to take that final step toward a championship when he tripped over Alejandro Berrio in an IBF eliminator for the No. 2 spot in 2006. Berrio stopped Mack on a sixth-round TKO. The Librade fight was supposed to put Mack right back in the saddle. Instead he got thrown again.
"It was very frustrating, very bad," Mack said. "I know I have all the talent that I need to be a champion. All I have to do is train to get the best out of my talent. That's what I'm doing now."
That's where Tandy comes in. Tandy determined that Mack had outgrown the super middleweight division and he wasn't training properly.
"He got to Andrade in the first round, but he just didn't have anything in the later rounds," Tandy said. "He had been struggling to make the weight and it hurt him during the fight."
Tandy didn't know that Mack, 28, was having stamina problems when he came up with that fight plan.
"It was a good plan," Donadio said. "Yusaf followed it perfectly in the first round and it was working. But he couldn't follow it all the way through."
Donadio said that Tandy's specialty is fitness. Based on Tandy's expertise, the decision was made to have him come to the U.S.
Tandy said it took two or three weeks for the changes to click and for Mack to decide that he wanted to stick with it. Their first fight together was against Ernesto Zamora on April 11. Mack won on a second-round TKO.
"(Tandy) had all the tools and the techniques that I needed to win," Mack said. "As long as I listen to him I win."
Mack doesn't anticipate any problems with Judah, the older brother of Zab Judah. Daniel Judah is 2-2 in his last four outings, and his recent bouts have come at cruiserweight and heavyweight.
"I'm not there to impress the crowd or the people on TV, said Mack. "I'm just there to win."
