Zab fighting in Russia in June

[p4pking]

Sounds odd, but if Zab is confident he'll win then it might not be a bad move. When you think about it there aren't to many fights out there in which Judah can be paid well anymore, and he'd be stupid to fight Khan again should be get the title back. Judah vs Peterson would still be a fun fight imo, and would probably be pretty easy to put together. I imagine Judah is just buying himself some time and seeing how that all pans out.

Agreed. Zab probably will make good money going there and there's a good chance he'll win. Then fight Peterson or Malignaggi.

It seems like there is more money in Russia for Zab than in the USA.

prob down to him losing more than he wins mate

Yup, I'd say even if Peterson loses the belt Zab should try and fight him. Malignaggi can get hit by a train for all I care but I guess that would make money if they did it in New York. Judah doesn't have many places to go and won't fight Khan again unless it's the only paycheck left for him. Not sure why anyone would want to see that again either. Judah is still fun to watch as long as he is against Vernon Parris level guys, no reason to wonder why he isn't chasing the strap, we know what happens.

How about Danny Garcia? It would be a big fight in Philly/NY.

Yes definetly, and a winnable fight for Judah imo. Question then becomes who promotes Garcia and do they want to put him in with Zab at this stage? I would imagine that would be bad promotion. I don't think Garcia is special at all, he all but gives the first few rounds away the couple times I've seen him fight and Kendall Holt had him pretty fearful on the few occasions he actually decided to throw. Of course Judah could fall apart and lose to the kid, but I think based on there last fights it's more likely he would outbox him the whole way through.

I completely see your point. However, Kendall Holt is a big puncher and many people thought Garcia was in over his head with Holt, and with Morales. Remember Morales' performance against Maidana. I don't think he's special either. He's just a solid junior welterweight, but a fight with Zab would be big money, and it's winnable. Maybe it's too risky now though.

[p4pking]

Could be, I never really heard anything about him until those fights.. But, Morales looked like crap and still ran him pretty damn close. Solid is about all Garcia looks to me, Judah would probably still be to fast for someone like that 9 times out of 10.
