Mayythyse was a big junior welter with a very strong physical presence and again Zab, after winning most of the early rounds faded.

It's hard to imagine Zab being able to fight hard for 12 rounds. I've always thought of him as being like Victor Ortiz (or rather Ortiz being like Judah) in that he wilts under pressure. Faced with a tough challenge he stops punching and imo looks for a way out.

Khan never does that and that will mean he's likely to finish stronger imo.

Judah's best shot will be inside the first 4-6 rounds, after that it's likely to be all Khan.

As Khan is a pretty fast starter himself it's going to be hard for Zab to make any impression on this fight imo.

He has to land something big and hurt Khan early, or else he's just getting another beating from a bigger, stronger, younger, hungrier guy.

I think Khan wins late.
I think Khan stops him late on aswell. Having said that, Khan can surprise early on, so who knows. I'll just go with a Khan stoppage win. Judah has a chance if Khan gets wild and doesn't judge the distance quick enough. Should be fairly straight forward for him though. Too much output. Judah is 'wilty' for want of a better word.

Amir Khan always gets wild.
