Amir Khan vs Zab Judah, July 23rd

[Mark TKO]

Initially when this was mentioned I thought mismatch - Zab was way over the hill and past it.

But after closer inspection, have not really followed Zab's career closely, I have changed my mind somewhat. Can't believe Zab is still only 33 - seems years since he was taken out by Tszyu !

Remember bumping into Zab in a shop on the Mandalay Bay back in 99. Back then I was in my prime and felt I copuld have done him easily

Still pick Khan to win handsomely on the cards, or by late retirement or stoppage, but Zab hopefully will be dangerous for first half of fight.

I think it will be a dangerous fight for Khan in the first 4 rounds then Khan takes over and stops Zab late or boxes saftey first and wins on points.

Zab is a southpaw and still is fast enough to cause Khan problems. If Zab starts to land the left hand Khan might be in abit of bover. But i favour Khan in a big way for this fight. But i hope Zab can land that 1 punch to lay out Khan

All the sparing with Manny over last year or so will help Khan out in this fight he will be used to southpaws with speed.

No doubt sparring with Manny will help, BUT sparring and fighting are very different and McCloskey, who is also a southpaw and a good few levels below Judah was causing Khan a couple of problems. I get the feeling Judah might catch Khan in this fight and if he does it will be over.

Judah is a good finisher and he is back at his natural weight for me. I truly believe this is the most dangerous fight out there for Khan at 140 and I am very happy he has taken it. He deserves lots of credit IMO.

... all khan has to do is stand there and judah will beat himself. Another year of khan acting like he beat god after he puts this beat down on judah.
