Zab "Super" Judah made his grand arrival at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas today at 11AM to a crowd of cheering spectators. Judah's welterweight showdown against rival "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather Jr. will take place Saturday night at the Thomas and Mack Center. When asked about his conditioning for this bout which has taken place in virtual seclusion, Judah answered, "My focus is at a level 20 right now. I prepared well for this fight mentally and physically. I know Mr. Mayweather has taken care of his business, as well. Two great young fighters in the sport of boxing going head-to-head right now is good for the sport of boxing." Judah would not comment on the sparring session between he and Mayweather at the Top Rank Gym in which Floyd said that he got the best of Zab. Judah did however share his thoughts on promoter Bob Arum's comments that Judahs recent loss to Carlos Baldomir will in a strange way make his fight against Floyd even more competitive as his back is now against the wall. "Bob Arum is a very great promoter. He's a very smart man. He knows his business well. He knows what is going to take place on Saturday night. It is no mystery."
