Amir Khan vs Zab Judah

[boxingbantz]

Looks like it is set for July 23rd.

I'm a bit pissed as I wanted to see him fighting Guerrero but I am assuming, with Bradley not wanting the fight yet, it was the only other option to unify the division.

I reckon Bradley has missed his chance as, after his fight in July, Maidana would become his mandatory and there is no way Khan gets in the ring with him again. Khan will move upto 147 and fight Ortiz in November. Just my 5c.

You don't think he fights Maidana in Britain in September or October after he beats Judah? I believe he would do that if he is signed into a 4 fight deal with GB anyway. I agreed with you in that I preferred the Guerrero fight.

After the debacle with the McCloskey fight over here, he pretty much ruled out returning to Britain for a fight for, at least, the foreseeable future. Sky Sports don't want anything to do with him anymore, either.

Which is why there is no way Khan fights Maidana, who will be his mandatory, at the end of the year. He'll vacate and move up to avoid being knocked out this time around.

I want to see Zab show Amir his Flying fist of Judah!!!

Can't see anything but a late Khan stoppage unfortunately.

[Dropanuke]

Still think Devon is most dangerous for khan, speed fury one shots with ultra sting to put khan asleep!! Judah is old and is another quick easy cheap way for khan to get another belt.
Khan beat Prescott in 54 secs and u get my respect. Has to be first round

[FinitoElDinamita]

This fight will be finalized by tomorrow according to Dan Rafael.. Good!

Khan has no idea what kind of trouble he's getting into.

Judah I toss now!
Fights like he a 45 year old khan will blitz him unfortunately

Riiiiiiiiiiiight..

Zab's crytonite is PRESSURE and Khan doesn't possess the style nor the ability to walk Judah down.. Plus with his overrated punching power and his clumsy footwork, he's going to rush into Judah's counter lefts and uppercuts..

Khan deserves respect for taking a dangerous fight like this because most fighters in his position would not risk themselves against this high risk/low reward opponent such as Judah..

But he's made a big mistake..

I think Judahs very live in this one, for at least 5,6 rounds. Khan leaves self extended, hasn't faced speed of Zabs nature and Judah can still whip from blind angles- underneath. He'll severly test Khans chin at least once but Khan should be able to keep him at length most likely and make him feel his age and battle wear, cut em up yeh.

What happened to WBA deadline of Sept 11th to face Maidana

He is obviously going to fight Judah, hope he wins therefore 'unifying' the division before vacating so he doesn't have to get knocked out by Maidana. Simple really.

This isn't low reward. Judah is one of the most recognizable names at that weight. Judah has problems mentally, and his punch resistance isn't the greatest. Khan has him on volume of punches, size, and speed.

Everyone knows Judah is high risk/low reward. If Khan somehow beats Judah, it's very obvious what everyone is going to say. I can see it coming from a mile away and Stevie Wonder sees it too..
