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.

im glad it is judah tho and not maidana, I dont reckon khan would have half the trouble with him a second time

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.

[ICB]

Zab Judah will be dangerous for exactly 3 or 4 rounds, he can finish Amir Khan early. Which isn't out of the question considering Amir Khan's chin. There's always a chance of that happening.

But in reality Zab Judah isn't as dangerous he was before, and will probably be stopped late on. But you never know this actually could be the best opponent Amir Khan has fought, regarding combining speed and power.

Yea, gotta agree with ya analysis ICB, he could trouble Khan up to rd5, but after that I see Khan coasting it, maybe resulting in late stoppage.

Judah will certainly be the best name on his resume, but it's not the Judah of 5-6 yrs ago lets be fair here.

I like this fight. Decent matchup, Zab has a belt again now so a unification clash. I've always liked Zab in a kind of' endearing wannabe gangsta but I look about 14 kind of way' and he'll provide better opposition than McKloskey.

I love Amir but I still don't have faith in his ability to take a punch to think he's going to unify the division and beat the likes of Ortiz and Bradley.

I think Khan and Bradley is 50/50, Ortiz at welter probably 65-45 in favour of Ortiz and for some reason I heavily fancy Guerreo to prove himself the best of the lot of them.

I think he knocks Khan out and gives Miles the horn.

[MMASUX]

Not a bad fight considering the options. Like most have said though, not the Zab of 5 years ago. It should be a good fight in rounds 1-7 then i see Khan winning be stoppage.

[marbleheadmaui]

I think this is a REALLY good fight. Great contrasts and Zab presumably realizes this is his final ride and will train accordingly. Khan had better come to fight

Kind of how I see it.

Zab is a mover and sharp shooter so I think he could give khan plenty of problems.Especialy with sweet P in his corner.

Now I LOVE Pete. But wouldn't you like to have a recording of some of the conversations those two guys have?
